The following day, which was a Saturday, Mocenigo caused Bruno to be carried to one of those cellars (_magazzeni terreni_) which are used in Venice for storing wood, merchandise or implements belonging to gondolas.

In the evening, a Captain of the Council of Ten removed him to the dungeons of the Inquisition.

On the same day, May 23, Mocenigo lodged his denunciation with the Holy Office.

Though Bruno was adverse to religions altogether, he preferred the Catholic to any other; but he believed it to stand in need of thorough reform.

The doctrines of the Trinity, the miraculous birth of Christ, and transubstantiation, were insults to the Divine Being.
