1. Doña Luisa de la Cerda, sister of the Duke of Medina-Coeli,
was now the widow of Arias Pardo, Marshal of Castille, Lord of
Malagon and Paracuellos. Don Arias was nephew of Cardinal
Tabera, Archbishop of Toledo (De la Fuente).
2. F. Vicente Barron, Dominican (see ch. v. § 8), according to
F. Bouix, on the authority of Ribera and Yepez; but the Carmelite
Father, Fr. Antonio of St. Joseph, in his note on the first
Fragment (Letters, vol. iv. p. 408), says that it was Fr. Garcia
of Toledo, brother of Don Fernando, Duke of Alva; and Don Vicente
de la Fuente thinks the opinion of Fr. Antonio the more probable.
3. Pedro Ibañez (Bouix).
4. Ch. xxxiii. § 11.
5. Father Bouix says that here the word "confiar," "trust," in
the printed text, has been substituted by some one for the words
"estar cierta," "be certain," which he found in the MS. But Don
Vicente de la Fuente retains the old reading "confiar," and makes
no observation on the alleged discrepancy between the MS. and the
printed text. The observation of F. Bouix, however, is more
important, and deserves credit,--for Don Vicente may have failed,
through mere inadvertence, to see what F. Bouix saw; and it is
also to be remembered that Don Vicente does not say that the
MS. on this point has been so closely inspected as to throw any
doubt on the positive testimony of F. Bouix. Six years after
this note was written Don Vicente published a facsimile by
photography of the original text in the handwriting of the Saint,
preserved in the Escurial. The words are not "confiar," but
"estar cierta."
6. Ch. xxxiii. § 12.
7. Ch. xiv. § 10.
8. 1 Thess. v. 19: "Spiritum nolite extinguere."
9. St. Matt. xix. 26: "Apud Deum autem omnia possibilia sunt."

Cepeda, the Saint's sister.
