The following are the churches in the town (San Thome) : The cathedral church and São Domingo were in the Portuguese quarter. In the suburbs, where the Mahomedans lived, were the churches of São Lazaro, controlled by secular clergy; Madre de Deus, N.-S. do Descanço, of the Jesuits; N.-S. da Luz, of the Franciscans ; and a hospice, with its sisterhood, of the Augustinians. Besides these churches there were between Great Mount and São Thome two churches, also controlled by the Jesuits, dedicated to N.-S. da Saude and to the Holy Cross. On Great Mount was a church, as I have already mentioned in another place (III. 191). At the foot of the said Mount there belong to that church four small chapels, dedicated to N.-S. da Conceição, N.-S. do Rozario, N.-S. da Lembrança, and São Lazaro. Thus there are a number of churches and clergy, but few of the former are frequented.
