CHAPTER XV
22/29

_Conform._, 137 ff.
[6] _Cum facit (subditus) voluntatem (praelati) dummodo benefacit vera obedientia est.

Admon._, iii.; _Conform._, 139_a_, 2 .-- _Si vero praelatus subdito aliquid contra animam praecipiat licet ei non obediat tamen ipsum non dimittat._, Ibid .-- _Nullus tenetur ad obedientiam in eo ubi committitus delictum vel peccatum.
Epist._, ii.
[7] 2 Cel., 3, 89; _Spec._, 29b; _Conform._, 176b, 1; Bon., 77.
[8] _Per caritatem spiritus voluntarii serviant et obediant invicem.

Et haec est vera et sancta obedientia.

Reg._, 1221, v.
[9] _Tribul._, Laur.MS., 14b; _Spec._, 125a; _Conform._, 107b, 1; 184b, 1.
[10] Wadding gives it (_Epist._ xvi.), after the autograph preserved in the treasury of the Conventuals of Spoleto.

The authenticity of this piece is evident.
[11] This plural, which perplexed Wadding, shows plainly that Brother Leo had spoken in the name of a group.
[12] This date for the new communications between them seems incontestable, though it has never been proposed; in fact, we are only concerned to find a time when all three could have met at Rome (2 Cel., 3, 86; _Spec._, 27a), between December 22, 1216 (the approbation of the Dominicans), and August 6, 1221 (death of Dominic).
