14. The said Bernardo Phelippe is reputed throughout all the city of
Tarragona to be an honest man and a good Christian, attending mass at
the church with much punctuality on the days appointed, and confessing
and taking the sacrament at the proper time, as proved by his
certificate; which is the truth.
15. The said Bernardo Phelippe has never been imprisoned or punished by
this or any other tribunal; which is the truth.
16. From all which it appears that the said Phelippe is free from all
the offences charged upon him, and ought to be absolved and released
from the prison in which he is confined, experiencing mercy, which also
would be justice, _vel alias omni meliori modo quod de jure sibi
adaptari valeat, et verum_.
17. _Ponit quod omnia et singula sunt vera, super quibus jus diei et
justitiam ministrari postulat, et verun._

The Inquisitor ordered the above to be placed among the proceedings of
the trial, and declared that he was ready to make the necessary
investigations. Whereupon the prisoner, being admonished, was remanded
to prison.

TO THE CANON JOAN FERRER, COMMISSARY.
Leonardo Phelipe, needlemaker, an inhabitant of this city, and now in
the secret prison of this Holy Office, on account of an action brought
against him by the Licentiate Don Andres Panyagua, Fiscal of this
Inquisition, has presented in his defence the following articles or
interrogatives, namely--
1. That the said Leonardo Phelipe, although a Frenchman, yet is a good
Christian, and not in anything to be suspected of Lutheranism or any
other heresy; that as such, he hears mass every Sunday and holiday
prescribed, as can be proved by many witnesses.
2. That he also confesses and takes the sacrament every year, at Easter
and other times, as can be shown by his certificate of confession
received during last Lent, and which he exhibits in his defence.
3. That the wife of the said Leonardo Phelipe treats him badly, and
bears him great hatred, and has brought him into this trouble because he
gave her a good beating on the festival of the Resurrection last, which
greatly increased her hatred towards him.
4. That the same enmity is borne towards him by Joseph Leonardo, his
son, with whom he had an altercation on account of his having pawned an
anvil against the inclination of his son, for which reason he concerted
with his mother this proceeding against the prisoner.
5. That the said Leonardo Phelipe is reputed throughout all the city of
Tarragona to be an honest man, and a good Christian, attending church
punctually to hear mass on the days appointed, and confessing and taking
the sacrament at the proper times.
