Read, fatuous lambs, the proclamation on the churchgate:
With all our affections filling us and affecting us from all our hearts,
the Christian people entrusted to us
could be united in the unity and serenity of the Catholic faith
and to be viscerally removed from every pestilence of heretical perversion,
therefore,
to the glory and honor of recalling the name of Jesus Christ
to the exaltation of the holy orthodox faith
and to the depression of heretical perversion especially in evildoers,
- in virtue of holy obedience and under pain of excommunication -
we direct, command, require and admonish that within the space of twelve days,
the first four of which shall stand for the first warning,
the second for the second,
and the third for the third warning;
And we give this treble canonical warning
that they should reveal it to us if anyone know, see or have heard
that any person is denounced to be a heretic or a witch,
or if anyone is suspected especially for such practices
as causing harm to men, cattle or the fruits of the earth
or to the loss of the State.
But if anyone does not obey these commands and admonitions,
let him know that he is impaled with the sword of excommunication.
