"In regard to this article, the clerks state, that it is a bold assertion, an injury done to those saints, and a transgression against the commandment of God, which is to love thy neighbour."

La Pucelle, in the above charge, is found culpable of presumption in daring to assert" that God loved no one living more than herself;" be it so. She declares that the. saints always conversed in French, and not in English, being inimical to the latter. This was an extravagant foolery; but an outrageous folly, no less ridiculous, was that of the clerks, who reproached her for having imputed to the saints that they did not love their neighbours. When the saints have once attained the celestial abode, they protect us, and only love the power that rewards them.

ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH.

"Jeanne, thou hast said that to those, whom thou callest Maint Michael, Saint Catherine, and Saint Margaret, thou hast often performed acts of reverence in bending thy knees to earth, in kissing the ground whereon they walked in their virgin state, and that thou hast kissed and clasped them round their necks, and that from the beginning they came from God, without taking counsel of thy curate or any other churchman; and that, nevertheless, thou believest that voice to proceed from God as firmly as thou confidest in the Christian faith, and that Jesus Christ suffered death and the passion; and that if any evil spirit should appear under the form and figure of Saint Michael, thou shouldst recognise him well. Thou hast likewise affirmed that for nothing upon earth thou wouldst make known the sign

given to thy king, unless it were by the command of God.

“To which the clerks say, that suppose thou hadst had the revelations and apparitions whereof thou makest boast, in the manner stated, thou art an idolater, an invoker of demons, erring from the faith, and hast rashly pronounced an illicit oath.

"Jeanne, thou hast stated that, in case the church required thee to do contrary to the command which thou sayest was pronounced by God, thou wouldst not do it for any thing on earth; and that thou knowest well that what is contained in thy process is in consequence of the command of God; that it would be impossible for thee to act comtrarily; and that, with regard to all the above-mentionerį things, thou wilt not appeal to the judgment of the church as received on earth, nor to living man, but to God only, and thou sayest besides, that these answers are net. ferya thine own head, but by the order of Omahaba, although the article of faith states that every one should believe in the Catholic church, which then wash shuthad times declared; and that every good ofnod é m should submit all his acts to the church, wad, you'sterunez in revelation and such things.

and a dozen of indecorous priests, artful and fanatical. Was she then wrong in not acknowledging as judges men who sought to avenge themselves upon an enemy, who acted subserviently to the hatred of the English, and who talked only of the church militant and the church instructrice? Jeanne, to all appearance, did not comprehend those high-sounding terms.

It may not, however, be amiss to observe, that there remained at that period at Paris, of the dispersed university, only a small number of ignorant and superstitious doctors, who even felt astonished at the high importance attached to them, in having the assertions of La Pucelle forwarded from Rouen for the purpose of receiving their final decision.
