[424] Mansi, vol. xxiii, p. 693. ‘Cum peccatores sint ad poenitentiam invitandi juxta Dominicam vocem, gaudere oportet si poenitentiam impositam libenter suscipiunt et supportant. Quocirca statuimus, & in virtute sancti Spiritus inhibemus, ne poenitentibus, quibus cruces pro crimine haeresis imponuntur, irrisio ulla fiat, nec a locis propriis seu communibus commerciis excludantur, ne retardetur conversio peccatorum, & ne conversi propter scandalum abjecta poenitentia relabantur. Et si moniti desistere noluerint, per censuram ecclesiasticam compellantur.’ _Cf._ Bernard Gui, _Practica_, pp. 101-2. [425] Eymeric, _Directorium_, pp. 702-4; Molinier, _op. cit._, pp. 23, 390.

[430] While in France the Inquisition took no official record of confiscation—it was automatically carried out by the State—in Italy the tribunal gave a formal declaratory sentence of confiscation.

On whole question of confiscation, see also Tanon, _op. cit._, pp. 523-38. [434] Lea, vol. i, p. 529. Lea was the first historian to go into the financial aspect of the Inquisition at all thoroughly. He devotes a whole chapter, book i, ch. xiii, to the subject of confiscation. ‘It was this,’ in his view, ‘which supplied the fuel which kept up the fires of zeal, and when it was lacking, the business of defending the faith languished lamentably.’ [435] _Cf._ Langlois, _op. cit._, p. 74. [436] See De Cauzons, _op. cit._, vol. i, pp. 48-53. P. 53. ‘Ce n’est pas ambition ni cupidité: c’est instinct de préservation.’ But see Vacandard, _op. cit._, pp. 202-3. ‘But would the ecclesiastical and lay princes, who, in varying proportion, shared with the Holy Office in these confiscations, and who in some countries appropriated them all, have accorded to the Inquisition that continual good-will and help, which was the condition of its prosperity without what Lea calls “the stimulant of pillage”? We may well doubt it.’ [437] _Directorium_, pp. 709-22. [438] See Douais, _Documents_, vol. ii, pp. 6, 7, 15, 18, 20, 23, 26, 29, 30, 34; Tanon, _op. cit._, p. 482; Vacandard, _op. cit._, p. 193.
