[1-8] in whatever places, both in bountiful city {of Rome} itself and in other lands and places subject to us and to the Holy Roman Church directly or indirectly, under penalties of the loss of the typefaces and also of five hundred gold cameral ducats, to be brought in halves, one part clearly to the Apostolic treasury, the other to Antonio himself, and the penalties are to be incurred and to be weighed out unpardonably by the violators, without another judicial declaration or decree, with the deed done, as often as there is a violation, so that, for the aforesaid decade, they do not dare to print the aforesaid plans, or to arrange for them to be printed or to sell them or to hold them for sale.
[8-20] We order each and every of our beloved sones in our ecclesiastical state -- legates, vicelegates, envoys, mayors, judges, power, Barisellii, and others to whom this decree pertains or will pertain for a time -- so that they will take care that [these] decrees are observed in each of our jurisdictions, and [we order] them, as often as they are requested on behalf of the said Antonio and his heirs or those holding the right and responsibility from them, or as often as any one of them is requested, assisting them in these decrees by the protection of effective legal prosecution, to carry out these decrees and to cause them to be observed, with respect to each and every one of his requests, against disobedient men and any rebels, by ecclesiastic censures and other suitable remedies of law and deed. Notwithstanding any decrees and apostolic ordinances, and established laws, and other things to the contrary whatsoever. Dated in Rome at Saint Marks under the Piscatory Ring on the thirteenth day of October 1593, in the second year of our Papal office.
