"You know, dear companion," he said to her when she had received the last sacraments, "how much we have loved one another while we could serve God together; why should we not remain united until we depart to the ineffable joy?
Wait for me.

I also will receive the sacraments, and go to heaven with you." So he spoke, and called back the priest to administer them to him.

Then after holding the hands of his dying companion, comforting her with gentle words, when he saw that her soul was gone he made over her the sign of the cross, stretched himself beside her, and calling with love upon Jesus, Mary, and St.Francis, he fell asleep for eternity.

Tract., iii., 2b.

M.Mueller (_Anfaenge_) has made a study of the Rule of 1221 which is a masterpiece of _exegetical scent_.
Nevertheless if he had more carefully collated the different texts he would have arrived at still more striking results, thanks to the variants which he would have been able to establish.

I cite a single example.

_Omnes fratres ubicunque sunt vel vadunt, caveant sibi a malo visu et frequentia mulierum et nullus cum eis consilietur solus.
