[...and] for a non-substantial term, one grossus. If, however, it happens that the notary registers [the same] for each folio containing twenty-five lines, for both parts [of the page], let him deserve [payment]. For any folio of a copy or above those for which the same notary is bound to register... of any sentence, including the minutes in the first instance and in a plenary case, [there shall be]... for a folio, and in a case concerning a benefice, thirty; for the writing of a declaratory sentence concerning the prior... and for the writing of an interlocutory sentence, four solidi shall be received. For the writing of the deposition of any witness examined within the city of Geneva, four solidi shall be received; and if [it is taken] with interrogatories and additions, twelve solidi.

On the manner of proceeding in the office of the Holy Inquisition of the Faith.

not ex[p?]

Let the inquisitor not approach to exercise his office in places outside the parishes or mandates of the diocese of Geneva unless with the deliberation of our vicar general, and [not] in a matter of faith, not indeed at the request of the lords and temporal officials, but at the request of the parishioners or proctors of the church. When he has arrived at the places, he shall be bound, after the exposition of the Holy Gospel, to warn all parishioners that if there are any stained by the contagion of heresy or suspected of it, they should come freely to confess to the same [inquisitors], promising the grace and mercy of our Holy Mother Church. Then, he shall warn all parishioners that if they know of any who are marked and defamed for the crime of heresy, they should reveal them into the hands of the vicar himself or the inquisitor. Afterward, having called and assisted by two ecclesiastical men or other notable men, if priests are not present, let him bind them by oath not to reveal what they will hear against those defamed of the crime of heresy. Let him take the information and have it rendered properly and faithfully in writing by his secretary. emm Once these are taken, before he proceeds to detention, he shall commit the same information to the vicar or ordinary to be examined, or to the venerable council of the episcopal see of Geneva, and with mature deliberation, they shall see against whom it ought to be inquired. For where it is a matter of the loss of body, honor, and the ignominy of all one’s parents, there it is safer to act cautiously, unless it is examined against a specific person upon someone's complaint. p If, however, from the deliberation of the aforesaid council, it happens that some wicked person is captured and consigned to the prisons, then the process shall be formed in a short term, and against him [it] should be finished at least within fifteen days, lest great expenses be incurred, unless by chance such a detainee should ask to be admitted to his defenses. Then, for such a detainee, let a short term be set for making his defenses, upon which the detainee should be questioned. And lest the poor be burdened, the inquisitor shall take care that in the places in which he happens to be present, he does not make great expenses of mouth. To this inquisitor, the expenses of himself, his secretary, and the proctor of the faith, and his horses shall suffice. If they have made any other expenses, they are bound to support them. Let the secretary of the inquisition itself not proceed to take information except in the manner previously stated, and in the presence of the inquisitor or vicar, nor let the commission be given to another, so that the dangers appearing daily may be avoided. In taking such information, the officials of the faith shall take care that temporal officials do not assist, but stand far off for fear of suborning the witnesses. And after the process of the detainees has been formed and three warnings have been made to the detainee, the inquisitor shall not proceed, even if he has the powers of the ordinary, to an interlocutory [sentence] unless the process or processes of this kind are first brought into the episcopal council of Geneva to give an opinion on whether torture ought to be administered to the detainee or not, and also what and what kinds of torments are to be indicated, because they are accustomed to be tortured indifferently to the end [that] the materials suffice for torture. If, however, any of such defamed persons asks to be admitted to his defenses, and does not have the means by which he can pursue his case, let him be admitted and interrogated [as to] what he wishes to say for his defenses, and then, regarding the things said by him, let him be examined summarily; then, let [the case] proceed to the definitive [sentence] without cost, and let nothing be received from him. If, however, a petition has been presented to the vicar, then let him be admitted, and let the defenses be made according to custom, and when interrogating the defamed, let the names of the defamed and the accusers be read to him, while asking if he has any rivals; and after the names have been presented to him, the witnesses having been examined by the secretary in the manner of evidence, the names of the same witnesses shall not be published to the detainee, lest per...
