In the Imperial College of Tortosa, on the eighteenth day of March,
seventeen hundred, the Inquisitor Licentiate, Don Juan Joseph Hualte
presiding sole in the afternoon audience, having examined the
information and proceedings in this Inquisition against Fr. Felix Coll,
an Ecclesiastic and Confessor, of the Order of St Francisco, and a
resident in the Convent of that order in Gerona,
Ordered that he be reprehended, admonished, and directed to refrain from
confessing females in private; submitting this sentence to the Council.
Before me--
DON JUAN DE CASTILLA.
[_Further proceedings were carried on against this person, but suspended
by his death._]

In the town of Besahi, on the twentysecond day of February, one thousand
seven hundred and eightyfour, before me, Estevan Castanir, Presbyter and
Curate of the Parochial Church of St Vicente, and me, Lorenzo Terrader,
Presbyter and Canon of the Collegial Church of Besahi, Notary, sworn to
preserve secrecy and perform faithfully our duties, appeared, according
to summons, and made oath to declare the truth, and preserve secrecy,
Juan Ricart, porter royal, a native of the above town, of age, as he
stated, thirtyfive years or thereabout.
Questioned, if he knew the cause of his being summoned to appear.
Answered, that he could conjecture nothing.
Questioned, if he knew that any person had said aught which was, or
appeared to be contrary to our Holy Catholic Faith and Evangelical
Doctrine.
Answered, No.
He was then given to understand that information had been received and
sworn to in this Holy Office, that a certain person had, accompanied by
others, been to a certain castle in search of enchanted money; that they
had signed a compact with the devil; that on reading a book the devil
had appeared to them and promised them riches; and that he, the said
Juan Ricart could give intelligence of these and many other things. For
this reason he was admonished, in the name of our Lord and his glorious
and blessed Mother, to bethink himself and declare the whole truth.
