The Portuguese Inquisition was as prompt as the Spanish. See “The Sufferings of John Coustos for Free-masonry,” London, 1740, and it continued after the reforms of Pombal, as appears from “A Narrative of the Persecution of Hippolyto Joseph da Costa Pereira Furtado de Mendoza ... for the pretended crime of Free-masonry,” 2 vols., London, 1811.
