The Inquisitor then directed him to be furnished with a copy of the
above publication, that he might, with the assistance of his counsel,
reply thereto on the third day. Whereupon being admonished to bethink
himself and declare the truth, he was remanded to prison.
Before me--
MIGUEL RODRIGUEZ.
AUDIENCE TO COMMUNICATE THE PUBLICATION.
In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the twentysecond
day of June, one thousand six hundred and thirty seven, the Inquisitor,
Dr Domingo Abbad y Huerta presiding sole in his morning audience,
ordered the above 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 by reason of the troubles which arose in his house, he
had sometimes broken out into swearing, saying, ‘the devil take me if
this is not true.’
He was then informed that Dr Francisco Magrinya, his advocate was
present, with whom he might communicate respecting the publication, and
other matters of his defence. The publication and the answers of the
prisoner, &c. were then read to the said Dr Francisco Magrinya, who drew
up articles of defence upon a paper prepared by the Secretary. Here the
audience closed, and the prisoner being admonished to bethink himself,
was remanded to prison.

AUDIENCE FOR THE DEFENCE.
In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the twentyfifth
day of June, one thousand six hundred and thirtyseven, the Inquisitor,
Dr Domingo Abbad y Huerta presiding sole in his morning audience,
ordered the above 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 Dr Francisco Magrinya, his advocate, was
present, and had arranged his defence, which he might examine. The said
Dr Francisco Magrinya then read to him certain articles which he had
drawn up in his favor, and this having been heard by the prisoner, he
declared that he made a presentation of the same, and requested an
examination of the witnesses named in the margin, and that the other
investigations referred to might be made.
DEFENCE.
MOST ILLUSTRIOUS SIR--
Although Bernardo Phelippe, an inhabitant of the city of Tarragona has
no necessity for any defence against the charges of the Promoter Fiscal
of this Holy Office, yet the more clearly to show his innocence, and
premising expressly that what he declares against the witnesses is not
with an intention to injure or defame them, but solely to defend
himself, _onere superflux probationis rejecto_, he offers the
following:--
1. It is not true that he has abjured, sworn or blasphemed the head of
God, or uttered any other blasphemies, which statement is the truth.
