The first class of men are those who have begun to build a house without finishing it. These are such as have entered the house of the religious Order they prefer and have, as it were, built it for themselves by choosing it, but by the non-observance of the minor practices proper to beginners, they have not finished the building. These people are unsuitable for the conflict of recollection, because as one of the saints declares: “He must not ask for greater perfection who despises the leaser.
