Martin V:
From the Declaration on the Protection of the Jews: (1419)
Whereas the Jews are made to the image of God, and a remnant of them
will one day be saved, and whereas they have sought our protection:
following in the footsteps of our predecessors We command that they be
not molested in their synagogues; that their laws, rights and customs be
not assailed; that they be not baptized by force, constrained to observe
Christian festivals, nor to wear new badges, and that they be not
hindered in their business relatiosn with Christians.
