1. Only moral juridical persons in the Order and not individual brothers are permitted, with the consent of their respective councils, to accept pious foundations or other gifts which involve prolonged and burdensome obligations.
2. Furthermore, every acceptance of a burdensome obligation requires the consent of the provincial council, and those which impose a prolonged obligation ought not to be accepted easily.

Conditions and obligations are to be recorded in writing in duplicate: one copy is to be preserved in the archives of the province and the other in the convent concerned.
