HERE BEGIN THE
PRECEEDINGS AGAINST A
DEAD WOMAN NAMED JEANNE





  
It has pleased divine Providence
that                     the woman known as Jeanne

should be taken                               apprehended
by famous warriors

The reputation of this woman
has already gone forth

and having thrown off
the bonds                                         of shame

she wore
with an astonishing             and monstrous
                                              brazenness

immodest garments
belonging to the male sex;                 moreover


she was not afraid to perform     speak     and
disseminate
many things       she is

guilty                  of no inconsiderable offense
