The mendicant orders derive their whole subsistence from such oblations.

托钵僧就好比那些完全靠勤奋谋生的教师。

The establishment of the two great mendicant orders of St Dominic and St. Francis, it is observed by Machiavel, revived, in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the languishing faith and devotion of the catholic church.

马基雅维 (Machiavel) 观察到，圣道明和圣弗朗西斯两大托钵修会的建立，在十三和十四世纪复兴了天主教会衰落的信仰和奉献精神。
