John Foxe Zitate

A prisoner in the Inquisition is never allowed to see the face of his accuser, or of the witnesses against him, but every method is taken by threats and tortures, to oblige him to accuse himself, and by that means corroborate their evidence.

John Foxe

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ein Gefangener der Inquisition darf niemals das Gesicht seines Anklägers oder der Zeugen gegen ihn sehen, aber jede Methode wird durch Drohungen und Folterungen ergriffen, um ihn dazu zu verpflichten, sich selbst zu beschuldigen, und dadurch ihre Beweise untermauern.
