He wore the well-known cassock of black cloth, fastened round his waist by a black cloth belt with a brass buckle, which became thenceforth the distinctive dress of all Calvinist ministers, and was so uninteresting to the eye that it forced the spectator's attention upon the wearer's face. "I suffer too much, Theodore, to embrace you," said Calvin to the elegant cavalier.
Burchard, in his long black cassock, offered his hand cordially. "I am glad you could be with us, Mr. Belden," he began, but the other broke in: "If you have tired her, if this makes a difference " he muttered fiercely, "you will have me to settle with. Mind that!" He hurried down the stairs, his hands still clinched. Peter was starting off with the road-wagon. They nodded shortly at each other.
When these things are duly considered, it will not be thought strange that Addison should have climbed higher in the State than any other Englishman has ever, by means merely of literary talents, been able to climb. Swift would, in all probability, have climbed as high, if he had not been encumbered by his cassock and his pudding sleeves.
At this the Cure got to his feet, came over, laid his hand on his brother's shoulder, and said, with tears in his eyes: "Marcel, you shock me. Indeed you shock me!" Then he twisted a knot in his cassock cords, and added "Come then, Marcel. We will go to him. And may God guide us aright!"

He wore a rough grey cassock buttoned up to his chin. "You should have preached to them," said Sir Harry, "like St. Francis of something or other.
I wondered how he could be in such a Pother, seeing that he was so close to shore, and that moreover there were those nigh unto him who could have helped him if they had had a Mind to it. Close upon him was a Fat gentleman in a clergyman's cassock and a prodigious Fluster, who kept crying out, "Save him!
From the merriest of mischief-loving youngsters, he has hardened into the solemnest of square-toes, with such a long upper-lip, and manners as stiff as the stuff of his awful best cassock, which he always buckles on prior to paying me a visit. Whatever is a poor young man to do?
Flecknoe blunderingly classed among the Laureates by the compiler of "Cibber's Lives of the Poets" was an Irish priest, who had cast his cassock, or, as he euphuistically expressed it, "laid aside the mechanic part of priesthood," in order to fulfil the loftier mission of literary garreteer in London.
