**Names of Monks admitted or expelled entered in a Register.** The expulsion from the monastery of the offending monk was recorded by his name being struck off its roll. For every monastery had, as we have seen, its own register-book. When a layman was admitted as a monk to a monastery, his name was written down on the register-book of the monastery and "thenceforth his name had no concern with the register of the State" (p. 65).
