"This Man at last dies, and, according to Custom, is removed
into the Chapel of the Convent, and there plac'd with a Cross
fix'd in his Hands: Soon after which, saying the proper Masses
for his Soul, in the Middle of their Devotion, the dead Man
lifts up his Head, and with an audible Voice, cry'd out,

but at the same Time, I found the Redouble of it made but just the same
Impression, it had at first made upon my Heart. However having made it
my Observation, that a Spirit the least contradictory, best carries a
Man through _Spain_; I kept Father White Company, and in Humour, 'till
we arrived at _Victoria_. Where he added one Thing, by Way of Appendix,
in Relation to the _Carthusians_, That every Person of the Society, is
oblig'd every Day to go into their Place of Burial, and take up as much
Earth, as he can hold at a Grasp with one Hand, in order to prepare his
Grave.

Next Day we set out for _Victoria_. It is a sweet, delicious, and
pleasant Town. It received that Name in Memory of a considerable Victory

Father _White_; he going where his Affairs
