'I refer myself,' said Joan, 'to the answer I then made, and to our Lord!'
'You said,' continued the Bishop, 'that you had received many revelations both from God and from the saints. Suppose, then, that now some worthy person were to appear, declaring that they had received a revelation from God about your deeds, would you believe that person?'
To this the prisoner replied: 'There is not a Christian on earth, who, coming to me and saying that he came by such revelation, I should not know whether to believe or not, for I should know whether he were true or false by Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret.'
'But,' said Cauchon, 'do you imagine then that God is not able to reveal to some one besides yourself things that you may be ignorant about?'
Joan answered: 'Without a sign, I should not believe man or woman.'
Then Cauchon asked Joan if she believed in the holy Scriptures?
'You know that I do,' she answered.
Then the Bishop again returned to the question whether or not the prisoner consented to submit herself to the Church Militant, by which the Church Temporal should be understood.
Now, as before, Joan of Arc's answer was unchanged.
'Whatever,' she said, 'may happen to me, I shall neither do nor say anything further than that I have already declared during the trial.'
