| Text | In Ezram et Neemiam libri III (725 - 731) Bede |
| Quotation | Denique agente industrio pontifice et his qui timebant dominum cunctis compuncti sunt corde qui peccauerant et eiecerunt uxores alienigenas sic que expulsa turpitudine luxoriae rediit decus castimoniae atque in ciuitate domini eiecto rudere uitiorum respersi sunt flores et aromata uirtutum. |
| Translation | Accordingly, when the pontifex and all those who feared the Lord acted zealously, those who had sinned were pricked in the heart, and they cast out their foreign wives. Once they expelled the baseness of self-indulgence, the beauty of chasteness returned; once they cast out the debris of the vices, the flowers and spices of the virtues were strewn in the Lord’s city. (Trans. DeGregorio, p. 151) |
