During her residence in the above city she inhabited the house of the advocate-general, whose wife invited many young and elderly devout women to keep her company, and scrupulously examine whether or not she would belie any of her former asser- tions. Her conduct was uniformly found correct, and her con- versation most exemplary, although she was allowed to speak and to act as she thought proper. — Lenglet, vol. I. Page 47. cxxviii HISTOEY OF admirable presence of mind to all the litigious ques...- tions that were put to her. Among other points it was observed to her, that if, according to her assertion, the Lord was desirous of rescuing France from its calamities, men at arms were quite unneces- sary ; to which Jeanne replied, without being in the least disconcerted : " En mon Dieu, les gens d* amies batailleront, et Dieu donnera la victoire : In the name of God, the men at arms will fight, and God will give the victory. " On being pressed to give some certain proofs respecting her divine mission, * she made this dignified reply : " Je ne sitis pas venue a Poitiers pour faire des signes ; mais conduisez-moi a Orleans, et je vous montrerai des signes pourquoi je suis envoyee : I am not come to Poitiers to perform miracles ; but conduct me to Orleans, and I will then give you proofs wherefore I am sent.
