MARTIN DE MAUBOUDET, JEAN VOLANT, GUILLAUME POSTIAU, DENIS ROGER, JACQUES DE THOU,[158] JEAN CARRELIER, AMIAN DE SAINT-MESMIN,[159] _all burghers of Orleans, gave witness to the same effect_. JEAN DE CHAMPEAUX. On a certain Sunday I saw those of Orleans preparing for a great conflict against the English, who were drawn up in order of battle. Seeing this, Jeanne went out to the soldiers; and then she was asked, if it were well to fight against the English on that day, being Sunday; to which she answered that she must hear Mass; and then she sent to fetch a table, and had the ornaments of the Church brought, and two Masses were celebrated, which she and the whole army heard with great devotion. Mass being ended, Jeanne asked if the English had their faces turned toward us; she was told no, that their faces were turned towards Meung. Hearing this, she said: “In God’s Name, they are going; let them depart; and let us give thanks to God and pursue them no further, because it is Sunday.” _This story is confirmed by_ PIERRE JONGAULT, PIERRE HUE, JEAN AUBERT, GUILLAUME ROUILLART, GENTIAN CABU, PIERRE VAILLANT, _and_ JEAN COULON, _all burghers of Orleans_. All agreed that they never perceived anything by which they could conjecture that Jeanne attributed to herself the glory of her wonderful deeds; but she ascribed all to God, and, so far as she could, resisted when the people sought to honour her or give her the glory; she preferred to be alone rather than in others’ society, except when she was engaged in warfare. JEAN BEAUHARNAYS.[160] I often saw Jeanne while in Orleans; there was nothing in her which could merit reproof; she was humble, simple, chaste, and devoted to God and the Church. I was always much comforted in talking with her. MAÎTRE ROBERT DE FARCIAUX, _Priest, Licentiate in Law, Canon and Sub-Dean of the Church of Saint-Aignan at Orleans; testified to the same effect_. MAÎTRE PIERRE COMPAING, _Priest, Licentiate in Law, Canon of Saint-Aignan_. I have seen Jeanne, at the Elevation of the Host, weeping many tears. I remember well that she induced the soldiers to confess their sins; and I indeed saw that, by her instigation and advice, La Hire and many of his company came to confession. The SIEURS PIERRE DE LA CENSURE, _Priest, Canon and Warden of Saint-Aignan_; RAOUL GODART, _Priest, Licentiate in Decrees, Prior of Saint Samson, and Canon of Saint-Aignan at Orleans_; HERVÉ BONART, _Prior of Saint-Magloire, of the Order of Saint-Augustine_; The SIEUR ANDRÉ BORDES, _Canon of Saint-Aignan; and_ JEANNE, _wife of_ GILLES DE SAINT-MESMIN. _All agreed with the preceding as to Jeanne’s life and morals._ JEANNE, _wife of_ GUY BOYLEAUD; GUILLEMETTE, _wife of_ JEAN DE COULONS; JEANNE, _widow of_ JEAN DE MOUCHY, _gave similar testimony._ CHARLOTTE,[161] _wife of_ GUILLAUME HAVET.
