Стр. 513 - I acknowledge you are fitter to be the bishop of Durham than I am to be parson of this church of yours. I ask forgiveness for past injuries. Forgive me, father. I know you have enemies, but while I live bishop of Durham, be secure, none of them shall cause you any farther trouble.
Стр. 353 - O that I had never known what a court was! Dear Pope, what a barren soil (to me so) have I been striving to produce something out of!
