78th. The inquisitors shall not permit any person to enter the prisons on the day before the _auto-da-fé_, except the confessors and the _familiars_ of the holy office when their employments make it necessary. The _familiars_ shall receive the prisoner and be responsible for him, after the notary has taken evidence of it in writing, and shall be required to take him back to the prisons after the ceremony of the _auto-da-fé_, if he is not given over to the secular judge; they shall not allow any person to speak to him on the road, or inform him of anything that is passing. 79th. On the day after the _auto-da-fé_, the inquisitors shall cause all the reconciled persons to be brought into their presence. They shall explain to each the sentence which had been read the day before, and shall tell him to what punishment he would have been condemned if he had not confessed his crime; they shall examine them all, particularly on what passes in the prisons, and they shall afterwards give them into the custody of the gaoler of the _perpetual_ prisons, who shall be commissioned to observe that they accomplish their penances, and to inform them when they fail. He shall also be required to supply the prisoners with everything they want, and to procure work for those who can occupy themselves, that they may contribute to their subsistence, and be able to alleviate their misery. 80th. The inquisitors shall visit the _perpetual_ prisons from time to time, to observe the conduct of the prisoners, and if they are well treated. In those places where there is no _perpetual_ prison, a house shall be provided instead; for without this precaution it is impossible to inflict the punishment of imprisonment on those who are condemned to it, or to ascertain if they faithfully accomplish their penances. 81st. The _San-benitos_ of all those persons who have been condemned to _relaxation_, shall be exposed in their respective parishes, after they have been burnt in person or in effigy; the same shall be done with the _San-benitos_ of the reconciled persons, after they have left them off: no _San-benitos_ shall be suspended in the churches for those individuals who have been reconciled before the term of grace, as they have not been condemned to wear them. The inscription for the _San-benito_ shall consist of the names of the condemned persons, a notice of the heresies for which they were punished, and of the time when they suffered their penance in order to perpetuate the disgrace of the heretics and their descendants. As this formulary is still in force in the tribunals of the holy office, it appeared to me useless to follow minutely the details of the events of the reign of each inquisitor-general, since the nature of the institution may be known by the picture I have given of its laws and ordinances, and by the observations which I shall have occasion to make in the remainder of the history.
