IN the days of pope Innocent the 3. began the two sects of Friars, one called the Preachers order,1 or black friars of S. Dominic's, the other called the Minorites of S. Francis. The Preachers order began of one Dominic a Spaniard, about the parts of Toulouse, who after he had laboured 10. years, in preaching against the Albigenses, afterward coming up to the Council with Fulco B. of Toulouse, desired the pope to have his order of preaching confirmed: which the pope a great while refused, till at length thorough a dream he dreamed, he persuadeth the Pope. His dream was, that Lateran Church was ready to fall, & he with his shoulders was fain to hold it: whereupon Dominick had his petition granted. The rule which they follow, seemeth to be taken out of S. August. Their profession standeth upon 3. special point. 1. Having charity. 2 Holding humility. 3. Possessing wilful poverty: their habit, & clothing is black.
