There are other fine windows in this church, depicting — The 
Torments of Job (9) ; Three Episodes in the Life of Abraham ; The 
Salutation ; The Yisitation ; The Annunciation ; The Adoration ; The 
Virgin and Child ; The Infant Saviour bearing in His hand the Ter- 
restrial Globe ; St. John ; St. James ; The Woman Accused of Adultery, 
Three windows contain the insignia of the Passion ; another portrays 
Mater Dolorosa ; and the three windows over the high altar represent 
the Passion, Death, and Eesurrection. The Golden Legend of St. 
Eustach, and the Life of St. Louis are also depicted ; and a window, 
presented in the year 1540 by the Confraternity of St. Eiacre is still 
intact. These windows sujffered more or less from the storm which 
burst over Eouen in 1683. They were repaired in 1683, 1726, 1727, 
and 1765 by the Le Viel family, one of whom wrote VArt de la Peinture 
sur verve. 
In 1839 the Government, Louis Philippe being then on the throne, 
at the request of the Prefect Baron Dupont-Delporte, erected a hand- 
some stained-glass window in this church, illustrating the four principal 
events in the life of St. John the Baptist. 
St. Patrice is also adorned by several fine pictures. — The Apostles 
Leaving the Temple ; a St. Justine, respectively attributed to Poussin 
and Mignard ; a Crucifixion, by Bassano ; and a St. Michael, by Hyacinth 
Langlois. 
I am indebted to Canon Caycz, the venerable Cure of Bt. Patrice^ 
for his deciphering the black-letter inscriptions on the window dedi- 
cated to our I^ational Saint, and for photographs of the interior and 
exterior of his church.
