I. YOU shall have a lawyer to defend your cause, but I believe it is very bad.
A lawyer was then called in, to whom the inquisitor made an harangue, telling him, that Mr. Martin was a strong heretic; that he had been examined, and denied many things of which he had been accused. He then ordered the lawyer to write to Malaga concerning him, and concluded by saying, his case is very bad, yet might be remedied; but he is obstinate, and will not have it so.— The lawyer, to all his lordship said, only bowed, and answered Yes or No; but he did not speak to Mr. Martin, though it was pretended he was to plead for him.

WHEN the lawyer was gone, the inquisitor said, "Go, you are guilty; you may repent of what you have said; if you do not, take care: sign these papers, which are what you confess." Mr. Martin having signed the papers, was remanded to his dungeon.
