To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a very common thing to find the sentence of excommunication affixed to the church-doors of Rome and of the Roman state at dif- ferent periods of the year, but more especially after Easter ; for this is the stated time at which the inhabit- ants are obliged to make their annual confessions, and receive the sacrament. It may be easily imagined, then, MONASTEBIES OP ITALY, ETC. 105 how many, in order to escape punishment, go through the form of confession and communion with their hearts far ...removed from the love of God and of his religion. A great many, especially those of the learned professions, perform the ceremony with the greatest indifference, being confirmed infidels, and only watching an opportu- nity of throwing off the mask of hypocrisy. And how could they act otherwise than with indifference, when they are forced to perform what they do not believe in ? Adoration is a freewill offering, and by no means accept- able to the Deity, unless it proceeds from the free, un- forced agency of the giver.
