Excerpt from English Merchants and the Spanish Inquisition in the Canaries: Extracts From the Archives in Possession of the Most Hon. The Marquess of Bute
Speaking generally, torture was a last resort, when solemn warnings and exhortations had failed to elicit a confession; even then, when brought to the torture chamber, confronted with the instruments of torture, and once again solemnly urged to speak the truth, a confession was frequently obtained, or at least the culprit's ingenuity was awakened in disguising the lie.
