 18   1, 7     |          without paying heed to these things, but that is only because
 19   2, 5     |             so much astonished at the things done by a soul in mortal
 20   2, 5     |               in mortal sin as at the things not done by it. May God,

 22   2, 6     |             we can remember these two things, sisters, the time you have
 23   2, 7     |       superfluous and even irrelevant things in order to say a single
 24   2, 7     |             myself when writing about things of which I know nothing;

 26   2, 7     |            shall have to explain many things that are well known -- it
 27   2, 14    |         because there are so many bad things -- snakes and vipers and
 28   2, 14    |             so completely absorbed in things of the world and so deeply
 29   2, 14    |            being among such poisonous things, it cannot, at some time

 31   2, 15    |             us free as regards inward things as well and to deliver us
 32   2, 16    |               be looking out for such things and running to the prioress
 33   2, 18    |              sister must discuss such things with any other, for from
 34   1, 4     |          these vipers -- that is, the things of the world -- and they
 35   1, 5     |       thinking that all these earthly things are of the slightest value
 36   1, 5     |         memory shows it how all these things come to an end, and reminds
 37   1, 5     |               much enjoyment from the things which it has seen have died.
 38   1, 5     |               of these and many other things the soul is reminded by
 39   1, 5     |             own house is full of good things, if it will only enjoy them.

 41   1, 6     |              who pursue these visible things meet with nothing but ill
 42   1, 8     |            one must not think of such things as spiritual favours, for
 43   1, 8     |            perfect freedom. All other things are of quite secondary importance:
 44   1, 9     |           strange jargon or dabble in things of which we have no knowledge
 45   1, 10(47)|           casas ("homes") but cosas ("things"). Luis de León, however,
 46   1, 10    |             will enjoy many more good things than they could ever desire. ~

 48   1, 5     |             other infirmities. In all things we must leave out of account
 49   1, 7     |             own will and left all the things of the world and all that
 50   1, 8     |       carefully, daughters, these few things which have been set down
 51   2, 2     |          still grieving about earthly things, and not very important
 52   2, 2     |                and not very important things either, than from the matter
 53   2, 7     |         myself to you, and that these things have nothing to do with
 54   2, 7     |              really detached from the things you have abandoned, for
 55   2, 13    |     completely disillusioned with the things of the world. It is a great
 56   2, 13    |             encouragement to see that things which we thought impossible
 57   1, 2     |              there are such exquisite things to be seen and appreciated
 58   1, 4     |              be derived from numerous things that may happen to us here
 59   1, 5     |          which come to us from Divine things are as purely natural as
 60   1, 5     |          difference between these two things and yet I am not clever
 61   2, 2     |           There are certain spiritual things which I can find no way
 62   2, 2     |             anything else. In all the things that have been created by
 63   2, 3     |              we meditate upon created things and fatigue the understanding;
 64   2, 5     |               I certainly find secret things in ourselves which often
 65   2, 7     |             writing of these interior things I am contradicting what
 66   3, 1     |               senses and all external things seem gradually to lose their
 67   3, 2     |                  but I cannot explain things in that kind of language,
 68   3, 2     |       strangers, to whom all the good things in the castle are abhorrent.
 69   3, 2     |            call that they give up the things outside the castle which
 70   3, 3     |               are already leaving the things of the world. I do not mean
 71   3, 3     |             them intent upon interior things. I believe, however, that
 72   3, 4     |               much he knew about such things; but we read it together,
 73   3, 5     |         Himself. There are many other things in which He has not so reserved
 74   3, 9     |            has more desire to do such things than he had previously.
 75   3, 9     |             God, he sees that earthly things are mere refuse; so, little
 76   3, 9     |               however, that all these things take place because once
 77   1, 1     |             explain them, for earthly things are quite insufficient for
 78   1, 2     |               get inside. Some of the things which are in this room,
 79   1, 3     |               and fast asleep, to the things of the world, and to ourselves (
 80   1, 6     |          themselves experienced these things, men of great learning have
 81   1, 9     |           learned that God was in all things by presence and power and
 82   2, 1     |              for them, there are many things to be said concerning what
 83   2, 3     |           thinking of these wonderful things and rejoice in being the
 84   2, 7     |             our attachment to earthly things. Let us practise penance,
 85   2, 8     |               we shall treat of these things further and in detail, for,
 86   2, 8     |              it will experience great things. ~
 87   2, 9     |               It sets no store by the things it did when it was a worm --
 88   2, 10    |         butterfly feels a stranger to things of the earth, it should
 89   2, 11    |              discontent caused by the things of the world arouses a desire
 90   2, 12    |              a great deal about those things; but it does not reach to
 91   2, 14    |      comparison and the very terrible things that I have suffered since
 92   3, 7     | censoriousness (even if only in small things) concerning our neighbours,
 93   3, 8     |           here the Lord asks only two things of us: love for His Majesty
 94   3, 8     |              are from doing these two things in the way we ought for
 95   3, 11    |                and thousands of other things belonging to the interior
 96   4, 1     |              I may possibly say a few things twice over. As it is for
 97   4, 2     |       Sacrament of Matrimony. The two things work differently, for in
 98   4, 6     |                         There are two things about which you may ask
 99   4, 8     |             least of, and in ordinary things; for if we look to this,
100   4, 10    |          something of these difficult things, which I know will be impossible
101   1, 2     |            tell you about some of the things which I know are certain
102   1, 2     |              to time really taste the things of Heaven can live in freedom
103   1, 3     |             is they who say the worst things of all and express the deepest
104   1, 4     |               person153 to whom these things were happening and who was
105   1, 4     |             The worst of it is, these things are not soon over -- they
106   1, 4     |              are who believe the good things they say by comparison with
107   1, 5     |               takes no notice of such things whatsoever. But to find
108   1, 9     |               God. For there are many things which assault her soul with
109   1, 13    |               from above, for earthly things are of no value to them
110   2, 3     |               different are spiritual things from any that can be seen
111   2, 6     |           about this than about other things. For the following reasons,
112   2, 6     |              of this world, and other things like them. ~
113   2, 8     |              not thinking of interior things, it seems, in some wonderful
114   3, 2     |               are given to understand things, nor should one upset them
115   3, 2     |               God does not consist in things like these, over which many
116   3, 2     |               swear they see and hear things, and really believe that
117   3, 3     |            for misgivings about these things until it becomes clear what
118   3, 3     |            them to dispense with such things at first, for, if they are
119   3, 4     |               as a temptation against things pertaining to the Faith
120   3, 5     |                And so with many other things. ~
121   3, 7     |               distressed when it sees things going badly astray. It may
122   3, 10    |               kind of dream, and sees things and believes that these
123   3, 10    |               and believes that these things are of God, and the effects
124   3, 14    |                But often it refers to things which one never thought
125   3, 14    |              cannot be deceived about things it has not desired or wished
126   3, 17    |              with experience of these things, and no doubt others also)
127   3, 19    |            less anxious about certain things and to try to take no notice
128   4, 1     |            all these trials and other things that I have described? Its
129   4, 1     |             continues to grant it the things it wants, and many more,
130   4, 4     |            been so fully awake to the things of God or had such light
131   4, 4     |             can I speak of many other things that happen in this state --
132   4, 4     |                As, however, there are things in the latter Mansion which
133   4, 5     |           mysteries, such as heavenly things and imaginary visions, it
134   4, 7     |               had not revealed secret things to his soul in such a way
135   4, 7     |               have learned marvellous things, for it was these things
136   4, 7     |              things, for it was these things which gave him courage to
137   4, 7     |              understanding the hidden things of God; rather, believing,
138   4, 8     |         earthenware, and all kinds of things, set out in such a way that
139   4, 8     |          wonder what all this mass of things could be used for, and then
140   4, 8     |            sight of so many different things might lead one to glorify
141   4, 8     |              nor could I say what the things were made of; I can only
142   4, 8     |               revelation of the great things it has seen. It will not,
143   4, 12    |              have come to these great things of God (come to write about
144   4, 12    |           though it is that these are things which the Lord gives to
145   5, 6     |               this and for many other things that happen to a soul which
146   5, 7     |             imagining it, and similar things, all his life long, it would
147   5, 7     |          instant he is taught so many things all at once that if he were
148   5, 7     |            than we can ordinarily see things with the eyes of the body;
149   5, 8     |         Sometimes, in addition to the things which he sees with the eyes
150   5, 8     |             the soul, he is shown the things I am describing and many
151   5, 9     |           right outside itself, great things are revealed to it; and,
152   5, 9     |             such contempt for earthly things that, in comparison with
153   5, 9     |            and, if it sees any of the things which used to give it pleasure,
154   5, 10    |              devil could never reveal things which produce such results
155   5, 10    |             benefits. There are three things in particular which it enjoys
156   5, 10    |          supreme contempt for earthly things, save those which can be
157   6, 4     |              her, my God; and dispose things so that she may be able
158   6, 4     |              not her life be spent in things so base. Let Thy greatness
159   6, 6     |            when we are troubled about things of the world. Anyone without
160   6, 10    |                   Together with these things, which are at once distressing
161   7, 2     |        forsook so great a Majesty for things so base. It thinks of this
162   7, 6     |            and to flee from corporeal things, they will certainly not
163   7, 11    |           stop to meditate upon these things, and here they may to some
164   7, 12    |            has raised to supernatural things and to perfect contemplation
165   7, 15    |             completely from corporeal things as to think that meditation
166   8, 3     |                or even greater. Other things of the kind might be attributable
167   8, 9     |           many sore trials, which, as things are at present, might affect
168   9, 4     |              to the soul and shows it things both great and secret. But
169   9, 4     |              medium by which all such things are seen -- as the brilliance
170   9, 4     |          testify only inadequately to things of which it has no experience.
171   9, 12    |           worried, for, even if these things be not of God, they will
172   9, 13    |            friend knew that insulting things were being said about his
173   9, 15    |               effects caused by these things, and there is more still
174   9, 16    |            the same about these other things. I think they will never
175   9, 19    |           best for me, so that in all things His will may be done. ~
176  10, 1     |                But, being very secret things, they are difficult to describe,
177  10, 2     |              communicates most secret things to it, which it seems to
178  10, 2     |          revealed to the soul how all things are seen in God, and how
179  10, 8     |      determined to do His will in all things, and to give her some knowledge
180  10, 8     |           more; I have said these two things because they seem to me
181  11, 6     |          later. It is well that great things should cost a great deal,
182  11, 6     |              be surpassed by any such things on earth (many of which
183  11, 8     |                  as all other earthly things do too. ~
184  11, 12    |            you ask the Lord for these things He will be justified in
185   1        |            are one. There are notable things in this chapter. ~
186   1, 1     |             is only a fraction of the things that still remain to be
187   1, 1     |             us in communicating these things in such a way that we may
188   1, 1     |             tell you some of the many things which there are to be said
189   1, 4     |         beside him the most delicious things to eat, but because he cannot
190   1, 11    |               so many and such subtle things in the interior life that
191   2, 4     |              meant the joining of two things into one, each of the two,
192   2, 6     |              that sustaineth me!" and things of that kind. For from those
193   2, 10    |            and many other distressing things happen there, but he remains
194   2, 10    |           leave it; and, although the things which the soul hears cause
195   3, 14    |             If only one knew how many things there are in Scripture which
