The lady had no wish to proceed farther in the religious life, so she betook herself to William Barlow, the new Bishop of St. Asaph, who was residing in his priory of Bisham, where the Poles had one of their country houses. She said to Bishop Barlow, 'Can I leave the veil at pleasure?'; 'Yes, for all religious persons have a time of probation. You are only a novice and could leave your nun's weeds at your pleasure. I bind you no further...', he said. The lady took the bishop's advice, and married Sir William Barentyne. A few years later (1543), in fear of being prosecuted under the Act of the Six Articles, she and her husband were obliged to procure an Act of Parliament to declare their children legitimate.
