Under such guidance the secular rulers were naturally vigor- 

 ous in the same policy. In 1380 Charles V of France forbade the

 into prison, and it was only by the greatest effort that his life 

 was saved. In 1404 Henry IV of England issued a similar decree, 

 and in 1418 the Republic of Venice followed these examples.

 ture and murder of Antonio de Dominis were not simply for 

 heresy ; his investigations in the phenomena of light were an 

 additional crime. Pierre de la Rame'e fell in the massacre of St.
