Within six days of entering the hospital, a resident is to take an oath of obedience to the warden. Sisters are not to wear silk veils on their heads. The warden is to hire a priest to celebrate divine services and to pray for the bailiffs, community, warden, residents and the benefactors of the hospital. He is not, however, to perform any rites which properly belong to the parish church. The warden is to hand over all oblations to the Prior of Norwich.
Residents are to remain chaste or forfeit one-quarter of the yearly alms.
No married man or woman is to be accepted as a resident. Residents may practice the crafts that they have learned. They may also dine with friends in town, but must not stay out after the curfew bell is rung at St. Nicholas'. They may go on pilgrimage, or go to stay with friends in country or town, with the permission of the warden. No-one is to be accepted as a resident unless 30 years old or more, except in special cases.
