Each convent is also ruled by the ordinations of its superior and of others who in various ways can take his place.
Each province is also governed:
Inchoations which are made in general chapters do not begin to have force until they have been approved and confirmed by two other chapters and have become constitutions, unless the inchoation was made by way of an ordination.
Inchoations with ordinations which are contrary to constitutions may not be made except rarely and for an urgent reason, which must always be stated expressly by a chapter.
Every brother must be enrolled in a province. This enrolment, which happens when he begins his novitiate, is called affiliation.
The brethren are incorporated into the Order by first profession.
