In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the twentyfifth
day of May, one thousand six hundred and thirtyseven, the Inquisitor, Dr
Domingo Abbad y Huerta presiding sole in his afternoon audience, ordered
the abovementioned Leonardo Phelipe to be brought out of prison; which
being done, and the prisoner present, he was
Questioned, if he remembered anything relating to his affair which he
was bound by his oath to divulge.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
He was then informed that the Promoter Fiscal of the Holy Office had an
accusation to bring against him, and that it would be well for him, both
as a means of discharging his conscience and despatching briefly his
trial, to confess the whole truth before the accusation was presented,
according as he had been previously exhorted, by which he would
experience the mercy which the Holy Office extends towards all who
confess freely; otherwise he was informed that the Fiscal would attend,
and justice be executed.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
Straightway appeared the Secretary, Damian Fonolleda, who, by reason of
the absence of the Fiscal, and the indisposition of Mateo Magre,
Secretary, took upon him that office. He presented an accusation signed
by him against the said Leonardo Phelipe, making oath that he did not
present the same out of malice.
