To the prior and brother hermits of Mount Carmel.
Everything for the glory of the Creator and the benefit of souls merits support in every way; especially those things in which it is known that the apostolic see has shown particular interest.
Through our beloved son Hugh, cardinal priest of St. Sabina, and our venerable brother William, bishop of Antarados, we have your request that certain dubious points of your rule be clarified and corrected and that certain onerous obligations be compassionately changed. All this is revealed in the letter which they (the revisors) composed.
By apostolic authority we comply with Carmel's pius desires, confirming the said clarifications, corrections and mitigations. These we support by this present letter.
Further we include in verbatim form the revisors' answer to you Carmelites, to wit:
Hugh, by mercy of God cardinal priest of St. Sabina, and William, by the same mercy bishop of Antarados offer salutation in him who is the welfare of all his beloved sons in Christ -- the religious prior general and definitors of the general chapter of the Order of Brothers of Carmel.
Clerics of your Order, Reginald and Peter, approached the apostolic see and humbly requested the pope to clarify and correct certain points of doubt contained in your privilege and change certain onerous elements contained in the rule bestowed upon you by the late Albert, patriarch of Jerusalem.
In response to your devout requests the pope entrusted to us the work of making clarification, correction and mitigation in his name -- keeping in mind the best interests of your Order and the welfare of your brothers. By the authority communicated to us we therefore command your Order to receive devoutly and to observe dutifully the rule as corrected, clarified and mitigated as it appeared to us appropriate. Also (we command you) to correct other copies of your rule in accord with this final draft which we forward to you under our seals through your brothers.
