“Not all the clergy in Paris and Rouen could condemn me, lacking the right!”
This made a great tumult, and part of it was applause from the spectators. Joan resumed her seat.
The Bishop still insisted. Joan said:
“I have already made oath. It is enough.”
The Bishop shouted:
“In refusing to swear, you place yourself under suspicion!”
“Let be. I have sworn already. It is enough.”
The Bishop continued to insist. Joan answered that “she would tell what she knew—but not all that she knew.”
The Bishop plagued her straight along, till at last she said, in a weary tone:
“I came from God; I have nothing more to do here. Return me to God, from whom I came.”
