Then the said Jeanne was brought before Us.
We warned and required her, on pain of law, to make oath as she had done the day before and to swear simply and absolutely to speak truth on all things in respect of which she should be asked; to which she answered:
“I swore yesterday: that should be enough.”
Again We required her to swear: we said to her, not even a prince, required to swear in a matter of faith, can refuse.
“I made oath to you yesterday,” she answered, “that should be quite enough for you: you burden me over-much!”
Finally she made oath to speak truth on that which touches the Faith.
Then Maître Jean Beaupère, a well-known Professor of Theology, did, by Our order, question the said Jeanne. This he did as follows:
“First of all, I exhort you, as you have so sworn, to tell the truth on that which I am about to ask you.”
“You may well ask me some things on which I shall tell you the truth and some on which I shall not tell it you. If you were well informed about me, you would wish to have me out of your hands. I have done nothing except by revelation.”
“How old were you when you left your father’s house?”
