the (aid office of the Inquifition, as well 
by law as fpecial cuftom and privilege, to 
the fame .extent as he, the Inquifitor, 
might or could do, if perfonally prefent.” 
This commiffion is dated on the zoth 
of Auguf, 1424. On the 2oth of Febru- 
ary, 1430, the Bifhop of Beauvais agreed 
with his 2ffeffors, and thofe whom they 
had confulted, that the Vicar of the Inqui- 
fitor might take cognizance of the affair 
and act accordingly ; but the Vicar pre- 
tended that, for the fafety of his confci- 
ence, and to enfure the greater validity 
of the procefs, he ought not to proceed 
without further advice ; but at the fame 
time confented that the Bifhop fhould go 
on without him, and the latter availed 
himfeif of this confent, which cou!d be of 
no validity if the Vicar was no: fufficient- 
ly authorized, and the affiftance of the In- 
quifition was neceflary. After having, 
however, taken further advice, the Bifhop 
decided, that Joan fhould be cited before 
him, offering always to communicate to 
the Inquifitor all that pafled and all that 
was done. 
The Bifhop had declared, in the fitting 
ef the 2oth of February, that thofe who 
agreed with him that the Vicar of the In- 
guifitor was authorized to join and aét in 
the proceeding, had obferved at the, fame 
time that the Bifhop fhould write to the 
Inquifitor, inviting him to come to Roven 
to aflift in the procefs, or to appoint fome 
one in his place. This recommendation 
the Bifhop adopted. In his letter he tells 
the Inquilitor, ‘‘ that the matter efpeci- 
ally concerns his office, it being his duty 
to fearch out the real truth in ali fufpi- 
cions and charges of herefy.”” 
We now draw to the conclufion of the 
account relating to the introdution of the 
Inguifition in this proceeding. Things 
remained for fomie time in the fame ftate. 
The Vicar of the Inquifitor affifted at all 
the meetings, not indeed in that capacity, 
but folely as the other affeffors or doétors 
whom the Bifhop had affociated with him- 
felf. 
Things remained in the fame fate until 
the 12th of March, when the Bifbop hav- 
ing fummoned the Vicar to a meeting on 
thar day, he announced to the Court, that 
the Inquifitor General had granted his 
commiflion for the trial to John Le Maitre, 
whom he had before appointed Vicar of 
the diocefe of Rouen. The Inquiiiter, 
afrer copying in the commiffion the letter 
which the Bifhop cf Beauvais had written 
io him, declares to his Vicar, Le Maitre, 
that, being prevented from attending at 
Rouen, he entrufts him with a fpecial 
Introduftion to the Study of Archeology.

power in this bufinefs up to the definitive 
fentence. Upon this the Vicar did not 
hefiiate to receive the communication of 
all that had been done up to that day 5 
and, in fhort, began to give his advice, 
and exercife the duties of his office. 
On the following day, the 13th of 
March, the Vicarial Inquifitor formally 
joined with the Bifhop, and from that 
time proceeded in conjunction ; all the 
minutes of the meeting purporting that 
the Bithop and the Vicar of the Inquifitot 
pr:fided at them. 
In order to put evety thing in right 
order, the Inquifitor General, on the fame- 
day, granted a commiflion of promoter and 
executor of the decrees to the fame per- 
fons whom the Bifhop had already ap- 
pointed. He alfo named perfons to guard 
the prifoner, and alfo a Secretary for the 
Inquifition, in addition to thofe whom the 
Bifhop had already elected ; viz. Nicholas 
Jacquel Prieft, Royal and Apoftolical No- 
tary, and Notary of the Court of the 
Archbifhoprick of Rouen. ‘ 
The fubfequent detail of thefe MSS. 
will fhew the effects produced from the 
introduStion of the Inquiftor of Faith is
