But not on that account do I wish to unfrock myself; nor certainly on that account do I wish to be deprived of my wife.
And now that it has come to the end you might have expected, and the poor helpless child who was bought and sold like a slave is in the position of the sinner, you want me to cut her off, to turn the hearts of all good people against her, to cast her out of communion, to make her a thing to point the finger at me, her spiritual father who baptized her, taking her out of the arms of the angel who bore her and giving her to Christ or if I won't you'll deprive me of my living, you'll report me to Rome, you'll unfrock me. . . ."
It would be a grave scandal, were he to be brawling in the town where he is known. Therefore, I pray you, take him elsewhere. I have striven long to make him a worthy member of his order, but I feel that it is beyond me; and it would be best, therefore, that he should go his own way.

"Were I a monk, I would welcome death that should unfrock me, and let me go a-wandering in Paradise among these fair lady saints we see in the pictures." "It is written, Barthelemy, that there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage."

As a bishop, I cannot entrust to a guilty man the care of immortal souls. 'Guilty? I am guilty of nothing. 'Do you call malice, falsehood, dissimulation nothing? 'You cannot unfrock me for what I have done, said Cargrim, evading a direct reply. 'You may have the will, but you have not the power.

It was to Bishop Cox, who then presided over the see of Ely, that Queen Elizabeth, when he objected to the alienation of certain church property, wrote her famous letter: "PROUD PRELATE: You know what you were before I made you what you are; if you do not immediately comply with my request, by God, I will unfrock you."
