Francis to the life of a missionary rather than the life of a recluse.
A great chapter of his Order was held at the Portiuncula, in May 1219. Five thousand mendicants assembled. Huts of straw and mud received them, the inhabitants of the province delighted to supply their simple needs. They were broken into groups of sixty or a hundred, each form- ing a little congregation, joining in prayers or listening to discourses, the theme of which was the conquest of the world. Thither Cardinal XJgolino... came, afterwards the vigorous Gregory IX., and casting off his purple mantle, his hat and shoes, he was conducted in the dress of a minor brother to the place of the great assembly. ' Behold,' he cried, as he looked upon it, ' behold the camp of God.
How goodly are thy tents, Jacob, and thy tabernacles, Israel ! ' Francis had reason enough to wish that his dis- ciples should have as little as might be to do with Popes VISIT TO THE SULTAN. 229 and dignitaries of the Church. He dreaded the temptations of mitres and cardinals' hats ; and in the chaj^ter he lifted up his voice against the seduction, and besought his fol- lowers touchingly to be faithful to the simplicity and foolish- ness of the Cross.
