But it is still more surprising that not- withstanding the great austerities of La Trappe, perhaps there Avas never any rule more zealously upheld by its proselytes, or which has ever been more numerously resorted to. Notwithstanding the immense number of deaths occasioned by these rigorous austerities, there are seldom less than two hundred, and even two hun- dred and fifty inmates in this monastery. They do not however all belong to the regular clergy. The brethren may be classed under three ...different de- scriptions ; the monks, properly speaking, who are all priests, and who wear a white woollen dress ; the lay-brothers, who take the same vows, and fol- low the same rule, but who act as servants in trans- acting the temporal concerns of the abbey. They are distinguished by a grey gown and cowl. The third class are the freres donnes, or brothers given lor a time. These last are not properly belonging to the order. They are rather religious persons, whose business or connexions prevent their joining S6 the order absolutely.
