Sealed instruction for some severe brothers (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
enclosed order
'some severe brothers' is the definition.
(strict order of monks)
'sealed instruction' is the wordplay.
'sealed' becomes 'enclosed'.
'instruction' becomes 'order' (an order to do something).
'enclosed'+'order'='ENCLOSED ORDER'
'for' acts as a link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
