Cast behind
Hello,
I'm translating a topic about the knight templar, and here comes the problem as I'm not quite sure about the message;
It says 'To all the profressed knights, both in winter and in summer, we give, if they can be procured, white garments, that those who have cast behind them a dark life may know that they are to commend themselves to their creatorby a pure and white life'
I think 'cast behind' the bold sentence mean if the knight were killed or dead, they would be sent to God with pure life ?
Thanks a lot for all helps

No. 'Cast behind' = abandoned, given up. The white garments are indications that the wearers no longer pursue their bad habits ('dark life').
