So, considering that such waiting was not safe for me, I obtained my end in another way, as I shall now relate. St. Matt. xx. 16: "Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi." Maria de Cepeda, married to Don Martin Guzman y Barrientos. See below, ch. xxxiv. section 24. Don Pedro Sanchez de Cepeda. Our Lord Helps Her to Become a Nun. Her Many Infirmities.

And, therefore, I pray thee and other like unto thee, with the Apostle saying thus: Videte vocationem vestram, et in ea vocatione qua vocati estis state:262 "See your calling, and, in that calling that ye be called, stand stiffly and abide in the name of Jesu." Thy calling is to be very contemplative, ensampled by Mary Magdalene.

"Once again then, my dear fellow, courage. As soon as I have a few days to dispose of after Easter, I will hurry to you. "Have patience then till then. Vos enim ad libertatem vocati estis, fratres, said St. Paul to the Galatians. I say so to you. "I embrace you tenderly, "Your spiritual Father "Curé of St. Nicholas."

But true it must be that Christ saith, Multi sunt vocati, pauci vero electi: "Many are called, but few are chosen." Here have I an occasion by the way somewhat to say unto you; yea, for the place I alleged unto you before out of Jeremy, the forty-eighth chapter.
