Notes

  • -  According to a report sent to the King, the College of San Juan de Letrán in Mexico was producing little fruit, and if it were entrusted to the Jesuits, they would produce the same good results as in other colleges; this would be good for the natives of the province. The King, therefore, has ordered the archbishop, in cooperation with the Viceroy, to decide what would be best. He commands the Viceroy, after discussion with the archbishop, to be sure that the financial resources of the college are distributed for the benefit, common good, and good teaching of the sons of the Spanish vecinos and of the natives. The Viceroy is to report on what is decided.
