Excerpt from The Ceremonies of Some Ecclesiastical Functions

In Rome heretics and infidel philosophers are almost every year brought to recognise the truth of the Catholic religion, and to embrace it through the impressions made on their minds by the grandeur and majesty of some Solemn Office to which mere curiosity had led them. They came to scoff, but remained to pray, overcome by the supernatural beauty and sublimity of the worship they witnessed. Their conversion is the effect, God so directing, of the sacred ceremonies - but, of the sacred ceremonies exactly Observed in all their details, in spirit as well as in letter, not, of the sacred ceremonies neglected altogether, or observed in a careless and slovenly manner.
