them very fine, like that of Archbishop Don Bartolome Lobo Guerrero 

 of happy memory ; this is at the upper end, corresponding to the high 

 altar, like that of the Kings in Seville. There is another on the Gospel 

 side in the transept between the two choirs, sacred to His Majesty, 

 for the burial of Viceroys, Counsellors, Chief Paymasters, Royal 

 Ofificials and Ministers of the King. Others have been assigned to 

 leading noblemen, for His Majesty has so ordained, that some should 

 be brilliantly decorated with altarpieces and should have chaplaincies, 

 notably the one which stands out in every respect, altarpieces, decora- 

 tion, etc. ; this is the chapel of Capt. Hernando de Santa Cruz y 

 Padilla. 



1236. There have been six prelates in this sainted church, from 

 its foundation up to the time at which I write this book. The first was 

 Bishop Santillan. who was Bishop of all Peru. He was followed by 

 that most judicious man. Fray Jeronimo de Loaysa, who established 

 the fine hospital for Indian natives of Santa Ana. He was succeeded 

 by the sainted Archbishop Don Toribio Alfonso Mogrovejo, who 

 was zealous for the honor of God and the good of souls ; he was a 

 great worker in seeking out and visiting his sheep, and for love of 

 them he was constantly absent from his church. He celebrated a 

 Council in the year 1583, at which were present all the Bishops and 

 prelates of Peru, Chile. Tucuman. Paraguay, and Buenos Ayres, the 

 Spanish Main. Quito, and Nicaragua ; he presided, and they adopted 

 many blessed statutes in that new church, for the good of souls and 

 for their consolation. He died like a saint in the town of Sana and 

 left to enjoy the reward of his labors, amid universal sorrow ; he had 

 directed his church in saintly fashion for 28 years. This sainted 

 prelate was followed by that mildest of men, Don Bartolome Lobo 

 (Wolf) Guerrero (Warrior) by name, but an angel in appearance 

 and character ; he had an agreeable and most placid disposition, and 

 his kindliness made his administration beloved. His successor was 

 Don Gonzalo de Ocampo. a hard taskmaster for his ecclesiastics and 

 not so popular ; he lived only a short time. 



1237. Today the occupant of the see is that most worthy man, 

 Don Fernando Arias Ugarte. His virtue and fervor in the service 

 of God and his good example of his life during early years led to 

 his becoming Circuit Judge in the Charcas, and then at Lima; and 

 after holding other posts, he was elected Bishop of Quito, then xA.rch- 

 bishop of the New Kingdom of Granada — his own home, fortunate 

 to have such a son — and then Archbishop of the Charcas ; at present 

 he is Archbishop of Lima, and may God grant him many years' 

 incumbency for His holy service.
