Now Brother Sequier, although a doctor of theology, had a strong and disagreeable accent which he had brought from his native town of Limoges, and, doubtless, the other clerks and priests tittered not a little at Joan's answer. Sequier appears to have been somewhat irritated, and sharply asked Joan whether she believed in God.
The Chancellor Sequier, who twenty years previously had persecuted her so ruthlessly, stood before her, relating how his carriage had been smashed, how he had been pursued and had rushed into the Hotel d'O , that the hotel was immediately invaded, pillaged and devastated; happily he had time to reach a closet hidden behind tapestry, in which he was secreted by an old woman, together with his brother, the Bishop of Meaux.
Every thing is very fine, and very rich, and very superb, and very magnificent, said my father, addressing himself to the sacristan, who was a younger brother of the order of Benedictines but our curiosity has led us to see the bodies, of which Monsieur Sequier has given the world so exact a description.
To which Joan answered: 'The soldiers will do the fighting, and God will give the victory! Sequier, whose account of the proceedings has come down to us, then asked Joan in what language the Saints addressed her. 'In a better one than yours, she answered.
We'll go, brother Toby, said my father, whilst dinner is coddling to the abbey of Saint Germain, if it be only to see these bodies, of which Monsieur Sequier has given such a recommendation.
Among the lesser dignitaries of the Church was present a Dominican monk, named Sequier, whose account of the proceedings, and the notes kept by Gobert Thibault, an equerry of the King, are the only records of the examination extant.
'Better than you do, was the reply; but Sequier, who is described as a 'bien aigre homme, was not yet satisfied, and returned to the charge.
The next witness was one of the clergy who examined Joan when at Poitiers; this was a preaching friar from Limousin who had asked Joan of Arc in what language her saints spoke to her, and had been answered by 'In a better language than yours' for this good friar, whose name was Brother Sequier, spoke with a strong Limousin accent.
