The Bishop, As I Have Remarked, Was

I Must Be Informed, That One Of My Great Duties Was, To Obey The Priests In All Things; And This I Soon Learnt, To My Utter Astonishment And Horror, Was To Live In The Practice Of Criminal Intercourse With Them.

Some Of The Priests From The Seminary Were In The Nunnery Every Day And Night, And Often Several At A Time.

I Often Remembered Also That I Had Been Told, That We Shall Have As Many Devils Biting Us, If We Go To Hell, As We Have Unconfessed Sins On Our Consciences.

I Have, I Think, Afforded Every Opportunity That Could Be Reasonably Expected, To Judge Of My Credibility.

Priests, She Insisted, Could Not Sin. It Was A Thing Impossible. Everything That They Did, And Wished, Was Of Course Right. She Hoped I Would See The Reasonableness And Duty Of The Oaths I Was To Take, And Be Faithful To Them.
