Othello 2.3.

"I know, Iago, thy honesty and love doth mince this matter, making it light to Cassio. Cassio, I love thee; but never more be an offer of mine." (49)

Othello is telling Cassio that he's in trouble for bothering him during his wedding night the way he did. Basically, he's firing Cassio from his second-in-command place because he got drunk and started a fight for no reason when he was put in charge. Othello got angry with him for that.
