there would be no Prisoners and without these no Inquisition Anno 1660. At Lisbone an English Protestant boldly went into the Temple and took the Hoast from the place where it was kept and departed forthwith for England the next day the Curate of the Church missing the Hoast published abroad the mishap the Inquisition bestirs it self and its Officers affirm that without doubt the Jews had taken it away therefore they diligently enquire who of the Jews were that Night absent from their own house at last they came to the house of a young man of six and twenty years of Age and Master of an hunderd thousand Crowns his Name Solis They examine the Servants whether their Master were at home at that Night who told the truth he was not for indeed that Night taken up with the criminal delights of his youth he spent with a certain Lady of good Quality that was Espoused at least betrothed to a Gentleman of no mean Rank When Solis heard their charge against him he confessed he was absent that Night from home but that he spent it with a Lady whose name he would not tell though he died for it yet under the Tortures of the Wrack he told the House where he was though not the person with whom he was Thither the Inquisitors haste but either could not or else would not stir farther in the Affair because the Lady was above the common size or because they had the man by whom they were sure to find what they hunted the hundred thousand Caowns They return therefore to the torturing of the young man who is forced to own he took away the Hoast and had eaten it This done his Goods are confiscated he is condemned to be burnt but first his hands must be cut off When the hour of Execution was come the Haugman desired him to put forth his right hand which he with an undaunted mind did saying I give up this for my Lord Christ Jesus who knows I never committed any such fault but forced by the severity of the Wrack and allured by the promises of the Inquisitors who said they would save my Life I did unwilling●y confess what I never did act Then they lout off his other hand and burned him in the sight of the people who made a great Feast in token that they approved what was none by those incarnate Devils After this was done the Englishman wrote into Portugal to them letting them know he had taken away their Breaden God on purpose to expose both it and the Papal Religion to that scorn they deserved But Solis fell by the most pious Inquisition Anno 1656 in the City Lerina a certain French Man that got his Living by selling up and down the Streets Knives Cissars Needles and Girdles c. like small Wares was seized by the Inquisition The occasion of which was this An Image of the Virgin Mary was one morning found torn in the Corner of a certain Street where 't was set that people might do it honour now on the over-night this Frenchman passing by at that place met some of his Acquaintance who were Castilians who saluted him and he them and so went on to his Lodging as they did to theirs next day the Magistrate seeing the Image broken made a diligent search and these Castilians Friends or rather Enemies of the French Man affirmed that he had broken the Image for they saw him the Night before near unto it This one of the Familiars as Setter for the Inquisitors heard of accused him before their Tribunal and swears to what he affirmed The poor French Man is clapt up into Prison pleads for himself that he went to his Friends house where he played at Cards all the while which appeared to be true upon enquiry yet was he detained for so much as his Acquaintance swore he was an Heretick which is the common name they give the Reformed And so cruelly handled that the pain he suffered forced him to say he was reformed and had given several blows to the Image and that for this he did beg pardon which was granted to him as he was Protestant but because he did offer an Indignity to the Image he is condemned to the fire and suffered the extremity of that Judgment Now about two moneths after a certain Fool who had lived at Lerina but was removed to an Habgation two miles distant was sound in the night thrusting down another Image which was newly set up in the room of the former him they examined whether he had broken the former and he owned it saying He intended to carry it to his Farm where he had built a small Chappel to this he added some other ●●tle m●d tricks by which the Inquisition was assured of the French-mans Innocency yet acquitted the Witnesses as if they had spoken the truill and as if the French man had died for his own Crime At Madril An. 1663. fell out an extraordinary Case which was as follows The Son of a certain Woman named Marquesa was Debtor to a certain new Christian as they call newly converted Jews in a considerable sum of Money which either he could not or would not pay Like a Fury of Holl he sets his malice on work and wiltes in great Letters this following sentence It is meet they should live who love according to the Law of Moses it is fit they should die who live after the Laws of Christ and affixeth it to the doors of a place called Quadralactura where a great concourse of people usually meet and to increase the number the next day he caused a great tumult which did justly offend the Court of Justice which issued out an Order for the Justice to make extraordinary search into the thing The Inquisition did their part yet for three Months the secret lay hid but then some found this Villain with such Scrowls both for their tenure and for the hand the very same and having seiz'd him he ●onfest that out of preconceiv'd hatred against the Jews he had done it to inflame the people against them to their ruine Now though he deserved to suffer what he would have brought on others yet this Just Inquisition adjudgeth him but to one hundred stripes the reason of which was he was a Papist against whom he had devised it whereas had the accused been of other Religion he who was Accuser right or wrong should have been Credited and the Accused should have died for it More Cases I shall forbear to recount because I would not be tedious yet let me add this passage of an Inquisitor in the City Quenca his name Ludovic de le Torre who was used to bespeak the Prisoners thus Friends you were as good corfess as not for if once you come into the hands of the Inquisition you shall never get out There are Tortures an Executioner and Graves for all that will not confess and there is Wood enough to burn all that do confess Hence 't is clear to every
