That would precisely be to look back after having put one's hand to the plough, and to show one's self unfit for the kingdom of God " (S. Luke ix. 62).
G 98 S. BERNARD'S LETTERS done, and, therefore, have rather extorted than asked it. But an extorted or compelled license should rather be called violence. What, therefore, the Bishop did unwillingly, when overcome by your importunity, was not to release you from your obli- gations, but violently to break them.
3. You may indeed be congratulated,... since you are thus exonerated ; but I fear lest you have, as much as lieth in you, taken from the glory 1 of God, whose will you, beyond doubt, resist in casting your- self down from the post to which He had advanced you. Perhaps you excuse yourself by pleading the necessity of religious poverty ; but it is necessity that brings the crown, in rendering achievements difficult and almost impossible ; for all things are possible to him who has faith. But answer to me what is most true, that you have consulted your own quiet, rather than the advantage of others.
