I, the Fiscal of this Holy Office, state that from information received,
it is made manifest that Juan Duran, blacksmith, a native of Manresa,
and a resident of Villaredonda, in the bishopric of Barcelona, has
committed offences against our holy faith; on which account, I purpose
to bring a formal accusation against him. For which reasons I request
your Excellency to order the said person to be arrested and confined in
the secret prison of this Inquisition, for the purpose of accomplishing
fully the ends of justice.
