it had fallen upon flaminio adriano , the notary of the inquisition , to do the final honors , the putting into words what so long had been decided by the pope , and so by the tribunal as well ; and it was not without relish that the absurdly self-important little man almost sang in high-pitched latin from the document he held high before him for all to see : having invoked the name of our lord jesus christ , and of his most glorious mother mary ever virgin , in the cause of the aforesaid causes brought before this holy office between , on the one hand , the procurator fiscal of the said holy office , and on the other hand , yourself , the aforesaid giordano bruno , the accused , examined , brought to trial and found guilty , impenitent , obstinate and pertinacious ; in this , our sentence , determined by the counsel and opinion of our advisers , the reverend fathers , masters in sacred theology and doctors in both laws , we hereby , in these documents , publish , announce , pronounce , sentence , and declare you , brother giordano bruno , to be an impenitent heretic , and therefore to have incurred all the ecclesiastical censures and pains of the holy canon , the laws and constitutions , both general and particular , imposed on such confessed impenitent , pertinacious and obstinate heretics , wherefore as such we verbally degrade you and declare that you must be degraded .
