SIXTEENTH ACCUSATION.
THAT it is confirmed by several people, that the said heretic, Isaac Martin, has, at divers times, shown himself very disaffected against the holy faith of the church of Rome, and has hindered some people from embracing it; so that had it not been for the sake of his family, he would have been murdered long ago.

THE remainder of this accusation then goes in the first person, by way of petition from the accusers, thus:
WE recommend him to your holy office, as a dangerous and pernicious man against the holy faith of the church of Rome; and a great many report he is a Jew. We desire your tribunal will examine him with a great deal of strictness, according to the custom of your holy office, and give him such chastisement as your lordship shall think fit, as well in body as chattels.
