THE TRIAL OF JEANNE DARC. 455 have been in France I have been called Jeanne. As to my surname I know nothing. I was born at the village of Domremy, which makes one with the village of Greux. The principal church is at Greux. My father is named, Jacques Dare ; my mother Ysabelle. I was baptized in the church of Domremy. One of my godmothers was 'named Agnes, another Jeanne, a third Sibylle. One of my godfathers was Jean Lingue', another Jean Varrey. I had several other godmothers, as I have heard my mother say. I was baptized, I believe, by Messire Jean Minet. I think he is still living. I think I am about nineteen years of age. From my mother I learned my Pater, my Ave Marie, and my Credo. I learned from my mother all that I believe." " Say your Pater," said the presiding bishop. " Hear me in confession, and I will say it for you will- ingly." Several times she was asked to say the Lord's Prayer, but she always replied, " No, I will not say my Pater for you unless you hear me in confession." " We will willingly give you," said the bishop, " one or two notable men who speak French ; will you say your Pater to them ? " "I shall not say it," was her reply, "unless" in con- fession." As the session was about to close, the bishop forbade her to leave the prison which had been assigned her in the castle, under pain of being pronounced guilty of heresy, the crime charged. " I do not accept such an injunction," she replied. " If ever I escape, no one shall be able to reproach me with having broken my faith, as I have not given my word to any person whatever." She continued to speak, in language not recorded, complaining that they had bound her with chains and shackles.
