Historia Calamitatum

Capitolo 43

arrived to the city, therefore that I immediately went to the legacy;
to him I submitted my book for examination and he/she judge, while declaring
what if I had written repugnant anything to the Catholic faith me,
it was rather ready to correct him/it or otherwise to do satisfactory
fines. The legacy directed me to refer my book to the archbishop
and to those the same two competitors of mine, at the end that my accusers
it would be also my judges. Then to the motto you/he/she had carried out in my case:
"Also our enemies are our judges" (Deut. Xxxii, 31).

me for the purpose to intimidate me, and, after some kind
words, say that he was surprised to anything he had found in mine
you book, to the effect that, even if God had produced God, I denied
that God was produced, from when you/he/she was only there a God. ME
decidedly answered:  "I can give him an explanation of this if
You wish him." "No", he responded, "I don't worry me nothing of human creature
