(p. i8i.) and five in Gihralter (p. 182.)

may be eafily fuppos*d that I did not fee
any of them 5 for I was too much indifpos*d
(p. 182.) ^t Gihralter to walkabout
and make Obfervations 5 and at Goa the
Jefuits fo nobly entertain d me (p. 181.)
in their Monaftery, that Ivery feldom went
abroad 5 how then can it be conceived that
in either of thefe places I fhould fee and

Church, that during my five Weeks ftay,
even at Rome it felf ( p. 190.) I did hot fee
one third of them. At Goa 1 remember I

Francifcansy but I am confident till I came
to Thoulon I never met with Capottchins and
reformed Anguftins 5 and it was the Habit
of thefe two Orders that I fo much wonder'd
at.
