“Did you not cause paintings and images of yourself to be made?”
“No. At Arras I saw a painting of myself kneeling in armor before the King and delivering him a letter; but I caused no such things to be made.”
“Were not masses and prayers said in your honor?”
“If it was done it was not by my command. But if any prayed for me I think it was no harm.”
“Did the French people believe you were sent of God?”
“As to that, I know not; but whether they believed it or not, I was not the less sent of God.”
“If they thought you were sent of God, do you think it was well thought?”
“If they believed it, their trust was not abused.”
“What impulse was it, think you, that moved the people to kiss your hands, your feet, and your vestments?”
“They were glad to see me, and so they did those things; and I could not have prevented them if I had had the heart. Those poor people came lovingly to me because I had not done them any hurt, but had done the best I could for them according to my strength.”
