Note 243 — APPENDIX
Reading edition
The two following questions and answers appear in the Minute only:—
“But, Jeanne, the Holy Canons and Holy Writ declare that women who take men’s dress or men who take women’s dress, do a thing abominable to God. How then can you say that you took this dress at God’s command?”
“You have been answered. If you wish that I should answer you further, grant me delay, and I will answer you.”
“Will you not take the dress of a woman to receive your Saviour on Easter Day?”
“Neither for that nor for anything else will I yet put off my dress. I make no difference between man’s dress and woman’s dress for receiving my Saviour. I ought not to be refused for this question of dress.” Cf. 4th Public Examination, February 27th, and 6th Public Examination, March 3rd.
