Book excerpt: Excerpt from La Bienheureuse Jeanne de Lestonnac (1556-1640) Les historiens de la Bienheureuse nous ont laisse le tableau des artifices, auxquels fut soumise cette jeune ame naive et sans defense. Humainement on ne s'ex plique pas comment elle put echapper au danger. Avec une habilete digne d'une meilleure cause on avait cree autour d'elle une atmosphere d'aigne hostilite a la foi catholique. On la conduisait au preche, ou les superstitions del'eglise romaine faisaient le theme ordi naire des discours. On lui apprenait a lire dans des livres heretiques, pour que l'erreur, germe qui levera plus tard, penetrat ses premieres impressions d'enfant. On lui creait des relations, ou les eloges faits a sa bonne grace etaient comme le condiment des doctri nes dont on voulait impregner son esprit. Mais une fois de plus la Providence intervint a son heure. Mon taigne lui - meme, dont le scepticisme n'etait qu'a fleur de peau, et qui gardait au fond de son coeur le culte des anciennes croyances, ne put etre, sans protestation, temoin de ce criminel abus de confiance. M. De Les tonnac averti se beta de donner a Jeanne des maitresses plus sures et la retira pres de lui. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
