Your citation of this text works AGAINST your claim that Gilles was a good Christian and did NOT commit the atrocities attributed to him! You seem to have MISSED an extremely odd and important detail in Murray's account of her connection of Gilles to Jeanne de Arc as BOTH being WITCHES that she stated at her trial "I sometimes put a CROSS as a SIGN for those of my party to whom I wrote so that they SHOULD NOT DO as the letters said"!!! Murray herself admitted "Though the mark was merely a code-signal to the recipient of the letter, it seems hardly probable that a CHRISTIAN of that date would have used the symbol of the Faith for such a purpose." In other words, by doing so, Jeanne was COUNTERVAILING her commands as DECEPTIONS (apparently to deceive the enemy in case the messages were captured) and thereby BLASPHEMING the Sign of the Cross by duplicity or lack of integrity. So she was USING the Sign of CHRIST the "Lord of TRUTH" as the Mark of DEVIL, the "Deceiver and Father of LIES"!!
The connection with Gilles is thus important for establishing his GUILT, because THERE IS such corroboration! I have noted in viewing the aerial GOOGLE Satellite maps imagery of his castelle of Tiffauges that SMACK CENTER in it there is an entrance to a peculiar tunnel system that contains at various ends small caverns like "lairs" that Huysman in his novel questioned the practical purpose of. What is MOST SIGnificant is that judging from the roof-vent openings in the ground beside the opposite subterranean entrances, the tunnels seem to traverse the CENTER of the CROSSroads of the castelle's field!! IF these "lairs" were where Gilles committed his Satanically sacreligious atrocities, then he was COVERTLY (and, appropriately, SUBterraneously) DEFILING and BLASPHEMING the "Sign of the Cross" ABOVE him as represented by the CROSSroads!!

Then again, the DEVIL was always said to be MEET at the CROSSroads!!
