Pope Innocent the third bearing rule, one Guilihelme a Duke of Aquitania, and county of Lictavia, invented or rather repaired and renewed the order of the Austen Friars, which had been long decayed and almost ⟨p. 72⟩made desolate before. This Guilihelme first dwelt in the wilderness with his brethren, chastising his flesh and subduing it with a coat of males on his bare body, alway watching praying and fasting, so that he was called a father and restorer of that order. Afterward by the consent of Anastasius and Adrian Bishops of Rome he left the wilderness, and built about (or as some say) within Paris, a cloister for that begging order of the Austen Friars, which was confirmed by Pope Anastasius the fourth. After that his apes and counterfeiters with begging built many other cloisters so that now this begging brood is spread over a great part of the world unto the great hindrance both of mens purses, and also of their salvation: and by this means is begging which once was forbidden, become a God's service. In the year of our Lord .1195. Lib. Germ. Chron. Angl.
