[183.3] I have only space to make a summary reference here to the very
noteworthy collection of Peruvian prayers preserved by De Molina,
_Fables and Rites of the Yncas_, p. 28, etc., 38, 56: they have all
the character of pure prayer, and occasionally reach a high spiritual
level: the only appearance of magic is in the sacrifice that
accompanies the singular petition “that the Creator and the sun may
remain ever young.”
