either within or outside their houses. Hence we grant you our letters of obedience,
imparting the faculty of betaking yourselves to some catholic region, on the first
available opportunity of travellinq, commending you to the Very Reverend Father Min-
isters Provincial of these respective Provinces which you reach, and to the Abbesses
of the Monasteries which you turn to, so that they may charitably provide for a place
of residence for you, where you may be able to serve God and your Order. Meanwhile
we commend you to all the faithful, vhether lay folk or cleroy, to whom you turn,
as poor exiled daughters, lovingly in the Lord.
