icted to idolatry and worship of thyself and thy clothes,
according to the customs of the heathen.

ARTICLE VI

Item, thou hast often said, that in thy letters thou hast
put these names, _Jhesus Maria_, and the sign of the cross,
to warn those to whom thou didst write not to do what was
indicated in the letter. In other letters thou hast boasted
that thou wouldst slay all those who did not obey thee, and
that by thy blows thou wouldst prove who had God on his
side. Also hast thou oftentimes said that all thy deeds were
by revelation and according to divine command.

Touching such affirmations the clerks declare thee to be a
traitor, perfidious, cruel, desiring human bloodshed,
seditious, an instigator of tyranny, a blasphemer of God's
commandments and revelations.

ARTICLE VII

Item, thou sayest that according to revelations vouchsafed
unto thee at the age of seventeen, thou didst leave thy
parents' house against their will, driving them almost mad.
Thou didst go to Robert de Baudricourt, who, at thy
request, gave thee man's apparel and a sword, also
men-at-arms to take thee to thy King. And being come to the
King, thou didst say unto him that his enemies should be
driven away, thou didst promise to bring him into a great
kingdom, to make him victorious over his foes, and that for
this God had sent thee. These things thou sayest thou didst
accomplish in obedience to God and according to revelation.

In such things the clerks declare thee to have been
irreverent to thy father and mother, thus disobeying God's
command; to have given occasion for scandal, to have
blasphemed, to have erred from the faith and to have made a
rash and presumptuous promise.

ARTICLE VIII

Item, thou hast said, that voluntarily thou didst leap from
the Tower of Beaurevoir, preferring rather to die than to be
delivered into the hands of the English and to live after
the destruction of Compiegne. And albeit Saint Catherine and
Saint Margaret forbade thee to leap, thou couldst not
restrain thyself. And despite the great sin thou hast
committed in offending these saints, thou didst know by thy
Voices, that after thy confession, thy sin was forgiven
thee.

This deed the clerks declare thee to have committed through
cowardice
