Title I: On Accusations, Inquisitions, and Denunciations
Chapter I
From a confession made before a delegate appointed to inquire concerning specified crimes, the person confessing is punished, although he says that he had not previously been defamed or had not received the articles of the inquisition. This states the point. Dominicus.
Boniface VIII.
After you confessed those same crimes before the one who had been appointed inquisitor against you concerning specified crimes, you strive in vain to challenge your confession so that you may not be punished from it as justice shall counsel, under the pretext that you had not previously been defamed concerning those crimes, or that the articles concerning which the same inquisitor wished to inquire against you had not been delivered to you.
DE ACCUSATIONIBUS, INQUISITIONIBUS ET DENUNCIATIONIBUS.
Ex confessione coram delegato, inquirente super certis criminibus deputato, facta, punitur confitens, licet dicat, se prius diffamatum non fuisse, vel inquisitionis capitula non habuisse. H. d. Domin.
Bonifacius VIII.
Postquam coram eo, qui contra te super certis criminibus inquisitor fuerat deputatus, eadem crimina fuisti confessus : frustra confessionem tuam, quo minus puniaris ex ea prout iustitia suadebit, eo praetextu impugnare contendis, quod super eisdem criminibus non fueras antea diffamatus, vel quod per eundem inquisitorem capitula, super quibus contra te volebat inquirere, tibi tradita non fuerunt.
Chapter II
An inquisition made concerning the truth of crimes, with an inquisition concerning infamy omitted, is valid if the accused, being present, remained silent. This states the point according to Johannes Andreae.
The same.
If the one to whom an inquisition to be conducted against you concerning specified crimes had been simply committed proceeded, while you were present and neither protested nor raised any exception concerning this, to inquire into the truth of those crimes with an inquisition concerning infamy omitted, you will not afterward be able to challenge a process of this kind on the ground that an inquiry concerning infamy was not first made.
Valet inquisitio, facta super veritate criminum, omissa inquisitione infamiae, si reus praesens tacuit. H. d. secundum Ioann. Andr.
Idem.
Si is, cui contra te commissa fuerat simpliciter inquisitio super certis criminibus facienda, processerit te praesente, nec reclamante, aut quicquam super hoc excipiente, infamiae inquisitione omissa, ad veritatem eorundem criminum inquirendam: processum huiusmodi ex eo, quod non fuit de infamia primitus inquisitum, ulterius impugnare nequibis.
