at whose instance they may
have been conceded; for if such are asked, it is not our will to make
the said re-validation; on the contrary, we desire that the said
suspension shall remain in force, in order that not even those who
have the bull of the Holy Crusade shall be able to gain the
indulgences which, in manner aforesaid, are published, circulated, or
distributed.
On the other hand, by virtue of the same apostolical authority, which
also has been to us conceded, we suspend the interdict, if such there
be, in whatsoever place wherein this bull shall be preached or
published, for eight days before and eight days afterwards.
And we declare, that those who wish to enjoy its indulgences and
graces must take (purchase) and retain this summary of them, printed,
sealed, and signed with our seal and name, in order that no one can
err touching the graces to them conceded, nor any one usurp them, and
that every one may be able to show by what faculty he uses them.
_And_ inasmuch as you, _John Doe_, contribute the alms of three
_reales de vellon_ (about 7.5d.), being the amount which, in virtue
of apostolical authority, we have assessed, and take this summary
(which you must take care to have written out in your own name), we
declare that power is conceded to you to use and enjoy all the said
indulgences, faculties, and graces, in form aforesaid. Given in
Madrid the seventh of January 1851.
