“What do you say on the subject of the female attire which is offered to you, to go and hear Mass?” “I will not take it yet, until it shall please Our Lord. And if it should happen that I should be brought to judgment, [and that I have to divest myself in Court,][84] I beseech the lords of the Church to do me the grace to allow me a woman’s smock and a hood for my head; I would rather die than revoke what God has made me do; and I believe firmly that God will not allow it to come to pass that I should be brought so low that I may not soon have succour from Him, and by miracle.” “As you say that you bear a man’s dress by the command of God, why do you ask for a woman’s smock at the point of death?” “It will be enough for me if it be long.” “Did your Godmother who saw the fairies pass as a wise woman?” “She was held and considered a good and honest woman, neither divineress nor sorceress.” “You said you would take a woman’s dress, that you might be let go: would this please God?” “If I had leave to go in woman’s dress, I should soon put myself back in man’s dress and do what God has commanded me: I have already told you so. For nothing in the world will I swear not to arm myself and put on a man’s dress; I must obey the orders of Our Lord.” “What age and what dress had Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret?” “You have had such answers as you will have from me, and none others shall you have: I have told you what I know of it for certain.” “Before to-day, did you believe fairies were evil spirits?” “I know nothing about it.” “Do you know if Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret hate the English?” “They love what God loves: they hate what God hates.” “Does God hate the English?” “Of the love or hate God may have for the English, or of what He will do for their souls, I know nothing; but I know quite well that they will be put out of France, except those who shall die there, and that God will send victory to the French against the English.” “Was God for the English when they were prospering in France?” “I do not know if God hated the French; but I believe that He wished them to be defeated for their sins, if they were in sin.” “What warrant and what help do you expect to have from Our Lord for wearing this man’s dress?” “For this dress and for other things that I have done, I wish to have no other recompense than the salvation of my soul.” “What arms did you offer at Saint Denis?” “My whole suit of white armour [‘_album harnesium suum_;’ _Gallicè_, ‘_un blanc harnoys_,’] as beseems a soldier, with a sword I had won before Paris.” “Why did you make this offering?” “In devotion, and as is the custom of soldiers when they have been wounded. Having been wounded before Paris, I offered them at Saint Denis, because that is the war-cry of France.” “Did you do it that these arms might be worshipped?” “No.” “What was the purpose of these five crosses which were on the sword that you found at Saint Catherine of Fierbois?”
