THIRD AUDIENCE.
In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the twentieth
day of September, one thousand six hundred and thirtyfive, the
Inquisitor, Dr Domingo Abbad y Huerta being at his morning audience,
ordered the above Pedro Ginesta to be brought from his prison, which

Questioned, if he remembered anything relating to his affair which he
was bound to divulge, in all truth, and to discharge his conscience.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
The prisoner was then informed that in the audiences which had already
been given, he had been admonished on the part of God our Lord, &c.
[_The whole repeated as before._]
Answered that he had nothing more to say.

which case, he would experience more fully the mercy which the Holy
Office ever extends to those who confess freely; otherwise the Fiscal
would attend and proceed to the accusation.
Straightway appeared Doctor Francisco Gregorio, Promoter Fiscal of this
Holy Office, and presented the accusation, signed by himself, against
the said Pedro Ginesta, making oath that it was not done out of malice;
which accusation was as follows:--

brazier, a native of the village of Orliach, bishopric of St Flor,
in Ubernia, in the kingdom of France, resident in this
principality, attached to the secret prison of the Inquisition, and
now present,--stating that the said person, being a baptized and
confirmed Christian, and enjoying the graces and benefits which
such persons do and ought to enjoy, not having the fear of God
before his eyes, but regardless of his own conscience and the
justice administered by your Excellency, has committed offences
against our Holy Faith, by saying and performing things which
savour of the heretic Luther, in the manner following.
