Summary

A defense of citizen opposition to the introduction of the inquisition in the Kingdom of Naples. Dedicated to the deputies of Naples, the work argues that justice is the province of the state, not the church, and that ecclesiastical crimes threaten the state as well as the church, so that while the church should determine what conduct is heretical, the state should punish it. Copy is incomplete near the end of the work.
