good works which should be done in the universal militant church, and in each of its members. 8. Item. To all those, who, in the days of Lent and other days of the year, in which* estations are at Rome, should visit five churches, or five altars, and if there is not five churches, or five altars, five times should visit one church, or one altar, praying for the victory and union above mentioned, his holiness granteth that they should enjoy and obtain the indulgences and pardons, which all those do enjoy and obtain, that personally visit the churches of the city of Rome, and without the walls of it, as well as if they did visit personally the said churches. 9. Item. To the intent, that the same persons with more purity, and cleanness of their consciences, might pray, his holiness grants, that they might choose for their confessor any secular or regular priest licensed by the diocesan, to whom power is granted to absolve them of all sins and censures whatsoever, [though they be reserved to the apostolical see, and specified in the bull of the Lord's supper, except of the crime heresy,] and that they should enjoy free and full indulgence and pardon of them all. But of the sins not reserved to the apostolical see, they may be absolved toties quoties, i. e., as many times as they do confess them, and perform salutary penance: And if to be absolved, there be need of restitution, they might make it themselves, or by their heirs, if they have an impediment to make it themselves. Likewise the said confessor shall have power to communicate or change any vow whatsoever, though made with an oath, (excepting the vow of chastity, religion, and beyond seas) but this is, upon giving for charity what they should think fit, for the benefit of the holy crusade. 10. Item. That if, during the said year, they should happen, by sudden death, or by the absence of their confessor, to die without confessing their sins; if they die hearty penitents; and in the time appointed by the church, had confessed, and have not been negligent or careless in confidence of this grace, it is granted, that they should obtain the said free and full indulgence and pardon of all their sins; and their corpse might be buried in ecclesiastical burying place, (if they die not die excommunicated,) notwithstanding the interdictum. 11. Likewise his holiness hath granted by his particular brief, to all the faithful Christians, that take the bull twice a year, that they might once more, during their lives, and once more at the point of death, (besides what is said above,) be absolved of all the sins, crimes, excesses of what nature soever, censures, sentences of excommunication, though comprised in the bull of the Lord's supper, and though the absolution of them be reserved to his holiness, (except the crime and offence of heresy,) and that they might twice more enjoy all the graces, indulgences, faculties and pardons granted in this bull. 12. And his holiness gives power and authority to us, Don Francis Anthony Ramirez de la Piscina, archdeacon of Alcarraz, prebendary and canon of the holy church at Toledo, primate of the Spains, of his Majesty's council, apostolic, general commissary of the holy crusada, and all other graces in all the kingdoms and dominions of Spain, to suspend (during the year of the publishing of this bull) all the graces, indulgences, and faculties, granted to the said kingdoms, dominions, isles, provinces, to whatever churches, monasteries, hospitals, brotherhoods, pious places, and to particular persons, though the granting of them did contain words contrary to this suspension. 13. Likewise he gives us power to reinforce and make good again the same graces and faculties, and all others whatsoever; and he gives us and our deputies power to suspend the interdictum in whatever place this bull should be preached; and likewise to fix and determine the quantum of the contribution the people is to give for this bull, according to the abilities and quality of persons. 14. And we, the said apostolic general commissary of the holy crusada, (in favor of this holy bull, by the apostolical authority granted to us, and that so holy a work do not cease nor be hindered by any other indulgence,) do suspend, during the year, all the graces, indulgences and faculties, of this or any other kind, granted by his holiness, or by other popes his predecessors, or by the holy apostolical see, or by his authority, to all the kingdoms of his inajesty, to all churches, monasteries, hospitals, and other pious places, universities, brotherhoods, and secular persons; though the said graces and faculties be in favor of the building of St. Peter's church at Rome, or of any crusada, though all and every one of them should contain words contrary to this suspension: So that, during the year, no person shall obtain, or enjoy, any other graces, indulgences or faculties whatsoever, nor can be published, except only the privileges granted to the superiors of the mendicant orders, as to their friars. 15. And in favor of this bull, and by the sa apostoli 1 authority we ded ire, that all those that would take this bull might obtain and enjoy all the graces, faculties and indulgences, jubilees and pardons, which have been granted by our holy fathers, Paul the 5th, and Urbannus the Sth, and by other popes of happy memory, and by the holy apostolical see, or by its authority, mentioned and comprised in the said suspension, and which, by the apostolical commission, we reinforce and make good again; and by the same authority do suspend the interdictum for eight days before and after publishing this buli, in any place whatsoever (as it is contained in his holiness' brief): And we command that everybody, that would take this bull, be obliged to keep by him the same which is here printed, signed and sealed with our name and seal, and that otherwise they cannot obtain nor enjoy the benefit of the said bull. 16. And whereas you (Peter de Zuloaga) have given two reales de plata, which is the charity fixed by us, and have taken this bull, and your name is written in it, we do declare, that you have already obtained, and are granted the said indulgences, and that you may enjoy and make use of them in the abovementioned form. Given at Madrid, the eighteenth day of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighteen. Form of absolution, which, by virtue of this bull, may be given to all those that take the bull once in their life time, and once upon the point of death. Misereatur tui Omnipotens Deus, &c. By the authority of God and his holy apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, and our most holy father (N.) to you especially granted and to be committed, I absolve you from all censure of the greater or lesser excommunication, suspension, interdictum, and from all other censures and pains, or punishments, which they have incurred and deserved, though the absolution of them be reserved to the apostolic see, (as by the same is granted to you.) And I bring you again into the union and communion of the faithful Christians: And also I absolve you from all the sins, crimes, and excesses, which you have now here confessed, and from those which you would confess, if you did remember them, though they be so exceeding great, that the absolution of them be reserved to the apostolical see; and I do grant you free and full indulgence, and pardon of all your sins now and whenever confessed, forgotten, and out of your mind, and of all the pains and punishments which you were obliged to endure for them nurgatory. In the name of the Father, of the Srn, and of the Holy Ghost.-Amen.
