How
!
"
said
the
Grand
Master
,
"
will
he
not
receive
the
gage
?
"
"
He
will
--
he
doth
,
most
Reverend
Father
,
"
said
Malvoisin
,
slipping
the
glove
under
his
own
mantle
.
"
And
for
the
place
of
combat
,
I
hold
the
fittest
to
be
the
lists
of
Saint
George
belonging
to
this
Preceptory
,
and
used
by
us
for
military
exercise
.
"
"
It
is
well
,
"
said
the
Grand
Master
.
--
"
Rebecca
,
in
those
lists
shalt
thou
produce
thy
champion
;
and
if
thou
failest
to
do
so
,
or
if
thy
champion
shall
be
discomfited
by
the
judgment
of
God
,
thou
shalt
then
die
the
death
of
a
sorceress
,
according
to
doom
.
--
Let
this
our
judgment
be
recorded
,
and
the
record
read
aloud
,
that
no
one
may
pretend
ignorance
.
"
One
of
the
chaplains
,
who
acted
as
clerks
to
the
chapter
,
immediately
engrossed
the
order
in
a
huge
volume
,
which
contained
the
proceedings
of
the
Templar
Knights
when
solemnly
assembled
on
such
occasions
;
and
when
he
had
finished
writing
,
the
other
read
aloud
the
sentence
of
the
Grand
Master
,
which
,
when
translated
from
the
Norman-French
in
which
it
was
couched
,
was
expressed
as
follows
.
--
"
Rebecca
,
a
Jewess
,
daughter
of
Isaac
of
York
,
being
attainted
of
sorcery
,
seduction
,
and
other
damnable
practices
,
practised
on
a
Knight
of
the
most
Holy
Order
of
the
Temple
of
Zion
,
doth
deny
the
same
;
and
saith
,
that
the
testimony
delivered
against
her
this
day
is
false
,
wicked
,
and
disloyal
;
and
that
by
lawful
essoine
of
her
body
as
being
unable
to
combat
in
her
own
behalf
,
she
doth
offer
,
by
a
champion
instead
thereof
,
to
avouch
her
case
,
he
performing
his
loyal
devoir
in
all
knightly
sort
,
with
such
arms
as
to
gage
of
battle
do
fully
appertain
,
and
that
at
her
peril
and
cost
.
And
therewith
she
proffered
her
gage
.
And
the
gage
having
been
delivered
to
the
noble
Lord
and
Knight
,
Brian
de
Bois-Guilbert
,
of
the
Holy
Order
of
the
Temple
of
Zion
,
he
was
appointed
to
do
this
battle
,
in
behalf
of
his
Order
and
himself
,
as
injured
and
impaired
by
the
practices
of
the
appellant
.
Wherefore
the
most
reverend
Father
and
puissant
Lord
,
Lucas
Marquis
of
Beaumanoir
,
did
allow
of
the
said
challenge
,
and
of
the
said
essoine
of
the
appellant
's
body
,
and
assigned
the
third
day
for
the
said
combat
,
the
place
being
the
enclosure
called
the
lists
of
Saint
George
,
near
to
the
Preceptory
of
Templestowe
.
And
the
Grand
Master
appoints
the
appellant
to
appear
there
by
her
champion
,
on
pain
of
doom
,
as
a
person
convicted
of
sorcery
or
seduction
;
and
also
the
defendant
so
to
appear
,
under
the
penalty
of
being
held
and
adjudged
recreant
in
case
of
default
;
and
the
noble
Lord
and
most
reverend
Father
aforesaid
appointed
the
battle
to
be
done
in
his
own
presence
,
and
according
to
all
that
is
commendable
and
profitable
in
such
a
case
.
And
may
God
aid
the
just
cause
!
"
"
Amen
!
"
said
the
Grand
Master
;
and
the
word
was
echoed
by
all
around
.
Rebecca
spoke
not
,
but
she
looked
up
to
heaven
,
and
,
folding
her
hands
,
remained
for
a
minute
without
change
of
attitude
.
She
then
modestly
reminded
the
Grand
Master
,
that
she
ought
to
be
permitted
some
opportunity
of
free
communication
with
her
friends
,
for
the
purpose
of
making
her
condition
known
to
them
,
and
procuring
,
if
possible
,
some
champion
to
fight
in
her
behalf
.
"
It
is
just
and
lawful
,
"
said
the
Grand
Master
;
"
choose
what
messenger
thou
shalt
trust
,
and
he
shall
have
free
communication
with
thee
in
thy
prison-chamber
.
"
"
Is
there
,
"
said
Rebecca
,
"
any
one
here
,
who
,
either
for
love
of
a
good
cause
,
or
for
ample
hire
,
will
do
the
errand
of
a
distressed
being
?
