A RELATION Sent from ROME OF THE PROCESSE SENTENCE AND EXECVTION Done Vpon the Body Picture and Bookes Of MARCVS ANTONIVS de Dominis Archbishop of Spalato after his death Published by Command LONDON ¶ Printed by John Bill Printer to the Kings most Excellent Maiestie 1624. A RELATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS at Rome Against the late Archb. of SPALATO And the burning of his dead Body c. THe late Archbishop of Spalato being dead his Body was put into a well pitched Coffin and that into another greater than it and so was it carried to be kept in the Conuent of the Holy Apostles and there committed to the charge of the Reuerend Fathers of that place vntill such time as the Cause of the said Archbishop still depending should be determined by the Sacred Congregation that according to their Sentence whatsoeuer iustice did require might bee done vpon him The Sentence being framed and ready to bee put in execution the said Body was first recognized according to the Forme of Law and was taken the twentieth of this present Moneth of December forth from the Conuent where it was kept and caried to the Church of Minerua and there laid vpon a Table in an eminent place together with his Picture and a little sacke full of Bookes which He had printed where it stood all the night The next morning at the time appointed the most Illustrious and most Reuerend Lords Cardinalls Supreme Inquisitors with many others to the number of sixteene or thereabout being met together after they had deliuered ouer a certaine Millanois who vnder the feigned name and habit of a Greeke notwithstanding he had neuer beene made Priest had presumed to celebrate Masse both in the Holy House of Loretto and other where vnto the Secular Powers the 23. of this present Moneth aforesaid to be first hanged and then afterwards burnt was the Sentence of the said Archbishop read to this effect First of all The Manner of his Escape and going into England was recompted and what he had there done in preaching and in printing and how that vpon better aduice and bethinking of himselfe he preferred a Supplication vnto our Lord the Pope shewing that hee would willingly returne againe into the bosome of the Holy Church if hee might be secured of his pardon and also that he would abiure all and euery heresie which he had heretofore maintained He came to Rome He did all accordingly He obtained grace and pardon of his Holinesse and so continued there for a long time But because his Conuersion was not sincere and from his heart but feigned only He began at length in his familiar discourses to breake forth into most heinous heresies and would needs maintaine that what hee had said before was true Thereupon hee was put into the Holy Inquisition and in the Processe which was framed against him we finde that he held the Heresies here vnder written 1 THat the Councell of Trent had declared many things to be de fide which were not 2 That all the Sects of Heretickes might be reduced vnto one Church if the Church of Rome would remit some of those things which in processe of time she had determined to be de fide instancing in particular in the Article of Transubstantiation 3 That there might be made an vnion betweene the Church of Rome and the Protestant Heretickes they both agreeing in articulis fundamentalibus 4 That it may well be questioned of some Articles and of many things defined in the Councell of Trent to be de fide whether they were sufficiently discussed and defined yea or no. 5 That he who holdeth and beleeueth the Fundamentall Articles although he doth not hold the Rest is not therfore separated from the Church but is vnited to it in the Faith Because that only the Fundamentall and Essential Articles are necessary to saluation The rest are matters of controuersie 6 That what the Councell of Trent hath defined to be de fide in matter of Justification of Predestination of Grace and of the Sacraments that they conferre grace ex opere operato belongeth not to the Faith 7 That he was ready to maintaine euen with the losse of his life that all men might abound in their owne sense in other matters so that they did agree in Essentialibus fidei 8 That the Primacie of the Pope of Rome is not de iure diuino or at least it may be disputed whether it be or be not vntill such time as the question may be decided 9 That the Anathematismes of the Councell of Trent are no definitions of Articles of Faith 10 That the Hereticks were not condemned in the Councell of Trent for any Heresies that they taught but only because they taxed the Church of Rome of Heresie 11 That to deny Transubstantiation Purgatory and worshipping of Jmages and Saints is not to deny matters that belong to the substance of Faith That therefore the Protestants haue the true Faith and the true Church 12 That the Church of Rome and the Church of England are one and the same Church both the one and the other Catholike and Orthodox 13 That it is not de fide that a Generall Councell together with the Pope is the Iudge of controuersies of the Faith 14 That the bond of Matrimony solemnized and consummated may be dissolued by the adulterie of either partie 15 That the bond of Matrimonie may be dissolued as well for other causes as for adulterie 16 That the Secular Prince vpon a reasonable cause may ordaine that the bond of Matrimonie solemnized and consummated may be dissolued There were some other Articles besides but they fall within the compasse of these After these false and hereticall Propositions were read it was related how they that were of the kindred of the said Archbishop or whosoeuer else would pretend to bee willing to vndertake the defence of his cause were cited And some of them made their apparance at the time appointed them but when they saw the Processe together with the Archbishops owne Confessions they renounced him and would doe nothing in his behalfe Whereupon the most Illustrious and most Reuerend Lords proceeded vnto a definitiue Sentence Which was to declare him vnworthy of the fauour of the Holy Sea Apostolike to depriue him of all his honour benefit or dignitie to confiscate his goods and to giue him ouer to the Secular Powers as De facto they then gaue him ouer That He and his Picture together with the Bookes he had written should be burned This Sentence being read the said Coffin there present the Picture and the Bookes were deliuered ouer to my Lord the Gouernor of Rome who desired that the Corps might be reuiewed and recognized anew which was done accordingly And presently the said Gouernor gaue order that the Corps together with the other things should bee carried into Campo di Fiori to bee there burned But because they found no man that was willing of himselfe to carry him to the said place therefore the Serieants tooke vp certaine Porters whom they bound and constrained to goe along with them and to take vp the said Corps Picture and Bookes which being caried into Campo di Fiori were there instantly burned And because the said Archbishop towards the end of his life made shew as if he had beene penitent for the heresies which hee had held de nouo after his former abiuration and asking pardon for them he had the fauour done him to be made partaker of the most holy Sacraments But notwithstanding because hee had relapsed He was therefore giuen ouer to the Secular Power Which was all that occurred in this action INSCRIPTIO
