Philippus, kardinalpräst i San Lorenzo in Lucina
Henricus Bella, a Dominican friar and priest from the diocese of Turku, once assaulted a layman who was supposed to maintain the organ bellows but did not do his job well. Henricus hit him on the back five times with a stick. Three days later the layman was struck down with a pestilent abscess in his left armpit. Since the plague was raging there at the time and the examination of the layman had shown no bruises from the blows he had received, it was considered that he died becasuse of the inflamed abscess and not from the blows. Henricus nevertheless abstained from celebrating after these events. Philippus, cardinal priest of San Lorenzo in Lucina, refers the case to the auditor Anthonius de Grassis for inspection and commissions the diocesan bishop to declare Henricus innocent of homicide and not irregular, on condition that the facts above are true.

Philippus (kardinalpräst) i San Lorenzo in Lucina hänvisar en supplik till auditor Anthonius de Grassis för kontroll och ger biskopen i Åbo i uppdrag att förklara Henrik Bella, dominikanpräst i Åbo stift, oskyldig till anklagelsen för mord och inte irregulär, under förutsättning att de uppgifter som lämnats är riktiga: Henrik angrep en gång den lekman som skulle se över orgelbälgen för att han gjort ett dåligt jobb och slog honom på ryggen med en käpp fem gånger. Tre dagar senare drabbades lekmannen av en pestsmittad böld i vänster armhåla. Pesten härjade just då i området, och när han undersöktes uppvisade lekmannen inga blåmärken efter slagen. Sålunda konstaterades att det var den inflammerade bölden som tog hans liv och inte Henriks slag. Henrik har dock avstått från att fira gudstjänst efter dessa händelser.
