1st. That the priests &c. [_The six assertions specified above._]

On another occasion, the deponent having stated to him that he had been

in the Carthusian Convent, where he read an edict of the Holy Tribunal,

prohibiting several books, and among them, one called _Avisos de

Moises_, the above person replied, that as Christ had abolished the law

of Moses, he hoped that another Christ would come and abolish the laws

of the first. He moreover told him that he had prohibited books in his

possession, which in fact he showed to the deponent. Their titles the

deponent does not know.

Questioned, in what place the abovementioned Josef Coch made these

assertions, and what persons were present at the time.

Answered, that it was at the house of the surgeon Baramon, in the Calle

de los Flasades; and that the person present was Antonio Trabe, surgeon,

who lives with Dr Torner, Beneficiado of San Justo.

Questioned, what was the age and personal appearance of the said Joseph

Coch.

Answered, that he should suppose him to be about thirtythree years old;

that he was of a middling height, with a thin, pock marked face, and

black hair.

The above is the truth, according to the oath of the deponent, who

states that he has not made this declaration out of malice, but solely

from conscientious motives. Having been read to him, he declares it to

be correctly recorded. I add his signature.
