“On the subject of the sign given to your King, will you refer to the Archbishop of Rheims, to the Sire de Boussac,[90] to Charles de Bourbon, to the Seigneur de la Trémouille, and to Etienne, called La Hire, to whom or to some of whom you say that you shewed the crown, these being present when the Angel brought it to the King, who afterwards gave it to the Archbishop? or will you consent to refer to some of your party who may write under their seal about it?” “Give me a messenger and I will write to them about this Trial.” [She would not believe in, or refer otherwise to them.] On the subject of the 6th Article, she answered: “I refer to my Judge—that is to say, to Our Lord—and to what I have before answered, which is written in the book.” “If three or four Clergy of your party are sent to you, coming under a safe conduct, will you refer yourself to them on the subject of your apparitions and of all that is contained in your trial?” “Let them come; I will answer.” [She would not refer nor otherwise submit to them on the subject of the trial.] “Will you refer or submit yourself to the Church of Poitiers, where you were examined?” “Do you think you will take me in that way, and draw me to you by it?” Afterwards, to conclude, she was anew and in full, generally warned by the Lord Archdeacon to submit to the Church under pain of being abandoned by the Church. He said, and repeated to her, that, if the Church abandoned her, she would be in great peril both of body and soul, and would fall into danger of the pains of eternal fire as to her soul and, by sentence of other Judges, into danger of temporal fire for her body. To which she answered: “You will not do what you say against me without evil overtaking you, body and soul!” “Tell us a reason, one only, why you should refuse to refer yourself to the Church.” [But she would make Us no other answer.] Afterwards, many Doctors and competent people of divers estates and faculties, set themselves to admonish and to counsel her with gentleness. They exhorted her to submit to the Church Universal, to our Holy Father the Pope, and to the Sacred General Council. They explained to her the peril to which she exposed both soul and body in refusing to submit herself and her deeds to the judgment of the Church Militant. [She answered as before.] And then We, the Bishop, told Jeanne to think well over it, to take good heed to the monitions, counsels, and exhortations which had just been made to her, and to reflect on them most seriously. Jeanne expressed herself thus: “What time will you give me to think over it?” We told her that she could think over it at once, and answer as she wished. But, as she would reply no more, we retired, and Jeanne was conducted back to prison.
