“Have you never seen, nor had made, any images or picture of yourself and in your likeness?”
“I saw at Arras a painting[[54]] in the hands of a Scot: it was like me. I was represented fully armed, presenting a letter to my King, one knee on the ground. I have never seen, nor had made, any other image or painting in my likeness.”

“I know nothing of it; if they had any service, it was not by my order; but if they prayed for me, my opinion is they did not do ill.”
“Did those of your party firmly believe that you were sent from God?”

“Do you not think they have a good belief, if they believe this?”
