Excerpt from The Catholic Christian Instructed in the Sacraments, Sacrifice, Ceremonies, and Observances of the ChurchThe design of the following sheets being to explain the Doctrine and Ceremonies of Catholic Church, and to vindicate the same from the misre presentations of our adversaries, the Reader, whe ther Catholic or Protestant, may'reasonably expect that I should not send them abroad into the world without taking some notice of a late performance of Dr. Conyers Middleton, entitled, A letter from Rome, showing an exact conformity, between Po pery and Paganism, or the Religion of the present Romans derived from that of their heathen Ances tors. This being a work directly levelled against some part of the ceremonies of the Church, and having been received with great applause by many in England, so as to have passed through three editions In the space of a few years, it is to com ply with so reasonable an expectation that I have determined to employ my Preface In making some animadversions upon this Letter of the Doctor, to which, though consisting of seventy pages in quar to, I hope, with the help of God, in one short sheet to give a full and satisfactory answer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
