EXIBIT #3:  Complete Letters, by Pliny the Younger
Gaius Pliny to the emperor Trajan - ...in the cases of those brought before me as Christians.  I asked them whether they were Christians.  If they admitted it, I asked them a second and a third time, threatening them with execution...and who moreover cursed Christ (those who are truly Christian cannot, it is said, be forced to do any of these things), I ordered to be acquitted... -X 96, p. 278, bold mine.
Trajan to Pliny - You have followed the appropriate procedure, my Secundus, in examining the cases of those brought before you as Christians, for no general rule can be laid down which would establish a definite routine.  Christians are not to be sought out.  If brought before you and found guilty, they must be punished... -X 97, p. 279.
