And among other also when he reproved bishop Chad for that he was not duly consecrated; Chad made most humble answer and said: If you know that I have taken the office of a bishop not in due order, I am ready with all my heart to give up the same: for neither did I think myself ever worthy thereof; but for obedience sake being so commanded I did agree, although unworthy to take it upon me.
