The preamble of the articles gave the gist of what was to follow, and showed up the true spirit of Joan's 'benign and merciful judges. It consisted of one long string of abuse, in which the terms 'sorceress, 'false prophet, 'a practiser of magic, and 'devilish arts, were freely used.
"Ha!" said Front-de-Boeuf, "thou changest thy tone, Sir Priest, and speakest brief and bold, as if thy heart were in the slaughter of the Saxon herd; and yet thou art thyself of kindred to the swine?"
