Wom. “Then, I am afraid, they will put you to death.”
Ans. “Though they burn me to-morrow, or put me into a bag, I care not; as the Lord has ordained it, so it must be, and not otherwise; I will adhere to the Lord.”
Wom. “If you have done nothing else I hope you will not die.”

Two Dominican friars also came to her, the one as a confessor, and the other as an instructor. The latter showed her the crucifix, saying: “See, here is your Lord and your God.” She answered: “This is not my God; the cross by which I have been redeemed, is a different one. This is a wooden god; throw him into the fire, and warm yourselves with him.” The other asked her in the morning of the day when she was to die, whether she would not receive the sacrament, adding that he would willingly administer it to her. She said: “What God would you give me? one that is perishable, and is sold for a farthing?” And to the priest or monk, who rejoiced that he had read mass that day, she said that he had crucified God anew.

As she stood before the judge, the monk whispered into her ear: “Fall down upon your knees, and ask the Lord for pardon.” She replied: “Be still: did I not tell you, that you should not draw me from my Lord.”
