41st. When the accused confesses himself guilty, and his confessions have the required conditions, if he is not relapsed, he shall be admitted to reconciliation; his property shall be seized; he shall be clothed in the habit of a penitent, or a _san-benito_ (which is a scapulary of linen or yellow cloth, with two crosses of St. Andrew of another colour), and he shall be confined in the prison for those who are condemned to perpetual imprisonment, namely, that of _Mercy_. As to the colours of the habit he is to wear, and the confiscation of his property, there are _Fueros_ and privileges existing in some provinces of Aragon, and other rules and customs which must be conformed to, in acquitting the criminal, and restoring his ordinary garments to him, according to the sentence. If it is proper that he should remain in prison for an unlimited time, it shall be said in his sentence, that his punishment shall last as long as the inquisitors think proper. If the accused has really relapsed, after abjuring a _formal_ heresy, or is a _false penitent_ when he has abjured as _violently_ suspected, and is convicted in the present trial of the same heresy, he shall be given up to the common judge according to the civil law, and his punishment shall not be remitted, although he may protest that his repentance is sincere, and his confession true in this case. 42nd. The abjuration must be written after the sentence, and signed by the accused: if he is incapable of signing it, this ceremony must be performed by an inquisitor and the recorder: if the condemned abjures in a public _auto-da-fé_, the abjuration must be signed the next day, in the chamber of audience. 43rd. If the accused is convicted of heresy, bad faith, and obstinacy, he shall be _relaxed_, but the inquisitors must not neglect to endeavour to convert him, that he may die in the faith of the church. 44th. If an accused who has been condemned, and informed of his sentence on the day before the _auto-da-fé_, repents during the night and confesses his sins, or part of them, in a manner that shows true repentance, he shall not be conducted to the _auto-da-fé_, but his execution shall be suspended, because it might be improper to allow him to hear the names of the persons condemned to death, and those condemned to other punishments, for this knowledge and the report of the offence might assist him in preparing his judicial confession. If the accused is converted on the scaffold of the _auto-da-fé_, before he has heard his sentence, the inquisitors must suppose that the fear of death has more influence in this conversion than true repentance; but if, from different circumstances and the nature of the confession, they wish to suspend the execution, they are permitted to do so, considering at the same time that confessions made in such circumstances are not worthy of belief, and more particularly those which accuse other individuals.
