“About four months. When I knew that the English were come to take me, I was very angry; nevertheless, my Voices forbade me many times to leap. In the end, for fear of the English, I leaped, and commended myself to God and Our Lady. I was wounded. When I had leaped, the Voice of Saint Catherine said to me I was to be of good cheer,[58] for those at Compiègne would have succour. I prayed always for those at Compiègne, with my Counsel.” “What did you say when you had leaped?” “Some said I was dead. As soon as the Burgundians saw I was alive, they reproached me with having leapt.” “Did you not say then, that you would rather die than be in the hands of the English?” “I said I would rather give up my soul to God than be in the hands of the English.” “Were you not then very angry, to the extent of blaspheming the Name of God?” “Never have I cursed any of the Saints; and it is not my habit to swear.” “On the subject of Soissons[59] and the Captain who surrendered the town, did you not blaspheme God, and say, if you got hold of this Captain you would have him cut in quarters?” “I have never blasphemed any of the Saints; those who say so have misunderstood.” This done, Jeanne was conducted back to the place which had been assigned as her prison. NINE PRIVATE EXAMINATIONS. _The Bishop decrees that the Enquiries, if any are thought necessary, shall henceforth be made in private._ Afterwards, We, the Bishop, did say that, in pursuing this Process and without in any way discontinuing it, We would call before Us some Doctors and Masters, experts in law, religious and civil, in order, by them, to gather up and collect what shall seem to them of a nature to be gathered up and collected, in Jeanne’s Declarations, as these have already been established by her own answers set down in writing. Their labour ended, if there should remain any points, on the which it would seem Jeanne should submit to more full enquiry, We will make, for this supplementary examination, choice of certain Doctors; and in this manner We shall not fatigue all and each of the Masters, who, at this moment, assist Us in such great numbers. These new enquiries shall also be put into writing, in order that the above-named Doctors and other approved men of science may deliberate and furnish their opinion and advice at the right moment. In the meantime, We invite all the Assessors to study at home the Process, and what they have already gathered from it; to search out the consequences of which the affair is susceptible; and to submit the result of their deliberations either to Us, or to the Doctors who shall be appointed by Us—if they do not prefer rather to reserve themselves for the time and place when they shall have deliberated in full maturity; and to give their opinion on full knowledge of the Process. In the meantime, We expressly forbid all and each to leave Rouen without Our permission before the full completion of the Process.
