[75v]

[1-3] 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,

[3-5] 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 place them for sale.

[5-21] We order in our ecclesiastic position each and all the beloved son legates, vicelegates, envoys, mayors, judges, powers, Barisellii, and others whom this decree beholds and will behold for a time, [XXX] to undertake for the decree to be observed in each of their 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 help 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. Let him call upon the help of the secular arm, if there is need of it in this matter.ii 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.
