THE CLERGY LIVING WITH LAY-BROTHERS. 309 Thus does Gerard Zerbolt set forth in a. plain and tenjperate manner the simple and unfettered condition in which ' the Brothers of Common Life ' lived. They dwelt together as a Christian household, living a very earnest, self-denying, laborious life, sincere, loving, abstemious, and full of goodwill towards all men. There was nothing but what was most exemplary, nothing but what was open and noble among men, and nothing but what could with great advanta...ge be more universally followed, nothing but what might be practically adopted, in the main, by members of the Church of England, Without contending, at the present, for the advantages which such a life offers above other ways, let it suffice to say, that, as there are multifarious conditions of life in which persons are placed by their various duties and callings, so is it highly desirable that numbers of these, who have been compelled to abandon their homes, should not be condemned to live almost as the outcasts of society, to live in loneliness and without loving sympathy and fellowship, except what they can by chance pick up ; and that to thousands of young men and young women living in the centres of our large towns and cities, it would be a most inestimable blessing, and would be most highly prized, if they had the opportunity of living together a truly Christian life in a plain unfettered way, like 'the Brothers of Common Life,' in fraternal community, with kindred souls, * steadfastly purposing to lead a new life ; ' having a special regard to the discipline of their own souls, the service of their God and Saviour, and the welfare of their fellow-creatures, whilst they at the same time diligently and faithfully pursued their several employments or callings in life.
