and Santa Rofa. Three of Franclfcans, viz. Cafa Grande, Recoletos de Nueftra Senora 

 de los Angeles, or Guadalupe, and Los Defcalzos de San Diego : the latter is in the 

 fuburb of San Lazaro. Three of the order of Auguftin, namely, Cafa Grande ; the 

 feminary of San Ildefonfo, a literary college ; and the noviciate at Nueftra Senora de 

 Guia. Three alfo belong to the order of Mercy, namely, the Cafa Principal, the 

 college of St. Pedro Nolafco, and a RecoUeccion, called Bethlehem. 



The Jefuits have fix colleges or houfes, which are thofe of St. Paul, their principal 

 college ; St. Martin, a college for fecular ftudents ; St. Anthony, a noviciate ; the 

 Houfe of PolTeflion, or Defamparados, under the invocation of Nueftra Senora de los 

 Dolores ; a college in the Circado, where the Indians are inftruded in the precepts of 

 religion j and that of the Chacarilla, appointed for the exercifes of St. Ignatius ; and 

 accordingly all feculars, on their defire to perform them, are admitted. They are alfo 

 allowed the liberty of beginning when moft convenient for themfelves, and are hand- 

 fomely entertained by the /college during the eight days of their continuance. But it 

 muft be obferved, that of all thefe convents, the Cafas Grandes are now the moft 

 confiderable j the others, befides being fmall, have but few members, and fmall 

 revenues. 



Belides the preceding nineteen convents and colleges, here are alfo an oratory of St. 

 Philip Neri ; a monaftery of the order of St. Benedict, with the title of Nueftra Senora 

 de Monferrat, the abbe of which is commonly the only member, and fent from Spain ; 

 and though this foundation is one of the moft ancient in the whole city, its revenue 

 is hardly fufEcient to fupport any more : a convent called Nueftra Senora de la Buena 

 Muerte, or the order of that name, generally known by the name of Agonizantes. 

 This order founded an hofpital in the city, in 1715, under the particular direction of 

 the Fathers Juan Mugnos, and Juan Fernandez, who, with a lay brother of the fame 

 order having in 1736 obtained a licence from the council of the Indies, went from 

 Spain and founded a convent of community in every form. In the fuburb of St. La- 

 zaro is alfo a convent of St. Francis de Paula, a modern foundation, under the name 

 of Nueftra Senora del Scorro. 



There are alfo in Lima three other charitable foundations, namely, St. Juan de Dios, 

 ferved by the religious of that order, and appropriated to the relief of perfons recover- 

 ing from ficknefs ; and two of Bethlemites ; one of which, being the Cafa Grande, is 

 without the city, and founded for the relief of fick Indians, who are taken care of in 

 Santa Anna ; and the other within the city, called that of the Incurables, being appro- 

 priated to perfons labouring under difeafes of that nature. The . latter, as we have 

 already obferved,* was founded fo early as the year 1671. This opulent city has alfo 

 nine other hofpitals, each appropriated to fome peculiar charity : — 



1. San Andres, a royal foundation admitting only Spaniards. 



2. San Pedro, for poor ecclefiaftics. 



3. El Efpiritu Santo, for mariners, and fupported by the ftiips belonging to thefe 

 feas, their crews being properly affeffed for that purpofe. 



4. St. Bartholome, for the negroes. 



5. Senora Santa Anna, for the Indians. 



6. San Pedro de Alcantara, for women. 



7. Another for that ufe, under the care of the Bethlemite fathers, ereded before 

 their Cafa Grande.
