"Before I became a Priest, which I had a desire to be very young, I
had a very great veneration for that order. I considered it as honourable,
because its end was the honour of God, and the reconciliation of Him to
men as weighty, because the eternal happiness of many was proposed
to be gained by it; as delightful, because the subjects of it were learning,
virtue, and piety."-Parochial Pasturage.
