Answered, that he had declared the truth in his confessions, and denied
the accusation so far as it went beyond this. He begged in consequence
to be set at liberty, and to be mercifully dealt with, for what he had
confessed. He declared, that after publication of the testimony, he
should more formally present matter for his defence.
The Inquisitor then ordered this to be notified to the Promoter Fiscal
of this Holy Office, upon which Mattheo Magre, the senior Secretary,
acting as Fiscal, answered, that he accepted the confessions of the said
Leonardo Phelipe, so far as they were favorable to the accusation, and
no farther, denying all the rest. He requested that the proofs might be
exhibited.
The Inquisitor declared that the cause should be judged definitively,
and the proofs received _salvo jure impertinentium et non
admittendorum_, according to the style of the Holy Office. The same was
notified to both parties.
The Promoter Fiscal then stated that he produced anew and presented the
testimony and proofs against the said Leonardo Phelipe, received and
registered in the Holy Office. He requested that they might be
substantiated and ratified in form, that all other necessary
investigations might be made and the testimony published.
The prisoner then being exhorted to bethink himself and declare the
truth, was remanded to prison, which I, the abovementioned Secretary
certify.

AUDIENCE FOR PUBLICATION.
In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the seventeenth
day of June, one thousand six hundred and thirtyseven, the Inquisitor,
Dr Domingo Abbad y Huerta presiding sole in his morning audience,
ordered the abovementioned Leonardo Phelipe to be brought out of prison;
which being done, 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 Promotor Fiscal of this Holy Office was
about to demand publication of the testimony against him, before which
it would be well for him to confess the whole truth, by which means his
trial should be despatched with all brevity and mercy.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
Straightway appeared the Secretary, Mattheo Magre, who officiated as
Fiscal, and requested publication of the testimony against the said
Leonardo Phelipe according to the style of the Holy Office. The
Inquisitor then ordered the said publication to be made, concealing the
names and other circumstances of the witnesses which might lead to a
discovery of their persons, according to the instructions and style of
the Holy Office.
[_Here follows the publication, and the answers of the prisoner,
corresponding with what has already been given._]
