Notes

  • -  The Crown had ordered the founding of a university in Lima for the education of the colonists, and the King is pleased that it is showing good results. One of the King's principal aims was to improve the welfare of the Indians; therefore, a chair had been established for the training of priests in the Indian language, which was necessary for fulfilling their office. The King commands that such a chair be established in every city where there is an audiencia, and he issues the appropriate ordinances for their establishment.
