he could make would be, to compel his creditors to re- ceive the boon of baptism ; and thus, by the administra- tion of this rite, he conceived that he had conferred an equivalent for the sums for which his crown was in- debted to the... unwilling and disgusted proselytes.

Thus in 1247, Innocent IV. Decreed that, whenever a person made a charge against the Jews of murdering the children of Christians, a charge with which they were continually harassed, without being able to support it with the testimony of three Jews and three Chris- tians, the accuser should himself suffer the penalty of an assassin: which was nothing more than just; be- cause he who prefers a false charge of a crime, the penalty of which is death, is in heart a murderer, en- deavoring to compass the death of an innocent person by a false accusation, and should therefore be punished as for the crime of murder.
