yea and well-nigh frightens them, in their concern for souls, out of the
continued observance of what they have already restored!
My dear brethren, this is sober, necessary warning. I pray you try to
receive it and to regulate your worship by it. Take heed lest, being
cumbered about many things you neglect the one thing needful; lest,
following right observances in a wrong spirit you incur the Pharisees’
condemnation; lest, by an indiscriminate performance of all the bowings,
genuflections, and crossings invented in mediæval or modern times, you
destroy the emphatic teaching of pure and dignified Catholic ceremonial;
lest indulging your own fancies and carrying out your own ritual, in the
face of that which the responsible officers of the congregation by
precept and example enjoin, you offend grievously and culpably against
the apostolic precept: “Let all things be done decently and in order.”
