27. Chap. xiii. section 22. In chap. xvi. section 12, the Saint says: "I wish we five who now love one another in our Lord, had made some such arrangement, etc." Fuente is of opinion that these five were, besides the Saint, Father Julian de Avila, Don Francisco de Salcedo, St. John of the Cross, and Don Lorenzo de Cepeda, St. Teresa's brother: but this is impossible at the date of this part of the "Life." It is more probable that she meant Francisco de Salcedo, Gaspar Daza, Julian de Avila, and Father Ibanez, the latter being still alive in the beginning of 1564, when this chapter was written. It is more difficult to say who the three confessors were whom St. Teresa desired to see the "Life" (ch. xl. section 32). If, as I think, the book was first handed to Father Garcia de Toledo, the others may have been Francisco de Salcedo, Baltasar Alvarez, and Gaspar de Salazar. 28. Chap. x. sections 11 and 12. 29. This is the second reason why the letter could not have been addressed to Father Ibanez in 1562. 30. Edited by Don Francisco Herrero Bayona, 1883 p. 4. 31. Ibid., chap. xli. (see Dalton's translation, chap. xxv.). 32. Ibid., chap. lxxiii. See the difference in Dalton's translation, chap. xlii. 33. Fuente, Obras, vol. vi., p. 275. |
