the orders which he transgressed by this 

 ill-behaviour against them, it is better 

 to beseech him. 



§ 37. As for a servant or attendant, 

 penitence is not necessary on his account, 

 lest thou increase (?) his carelessness, 

 but only fasting for thyself. If the 

 6 servant who has no fear of God be not 

 in awe of thee, thou wilt not have much 

 hold on him, and he will treat thee negli- 

 gently if thou show penitence to him. 

 This is what is right, after admonish- 

 10 ing him of his fault, tliat he sliould 

 do penance for his misbehaviour, and 

 that thou shouldest not be angry in any 

 way, either consciously or unconsciously. 

 If thou art angry with thy servant, how- 

 ever, and there is no cursing nor re- 

 viling, a hundred blows on thy hand in 

 the first place with a scourge. If this 

 do not check thee, then thou shalt put 

 thyself on bread and water for the night 

 after getting angry. 



§ 38. Now if spittle falls on a man's 

 15 hand at meals, their use is to pour water 

 thereupon, after the spittle touches the 

 hand. 



§ 39. A "son of life" should always 



recite his psalms by the psalter. This 



is what he used to say of this : There 



20 are three adversaries busy attacking me, 



my eye, my tongue, and my thoughts : 



the psalter restrains them all. How- 



beit, this is what Maelruain had said to 



Maeldithruib : The thought is no less 



25 occupied with the meaning when one is 



reciting the psalm by rote than it is 



when he is reading it with the psalter. 



§ 40. It is not the practice of the 



Cell De for one to drink anything after 



making water. This is what I have 



heard from Maeldithruib. This was the
