The Israelite Before the Ark of the Covenant and the Christian Before the Altar, or a History of the Worship of God

Excerpt from The Israelite Before the Ark of the Covenant and the Christian Before the Altar, or a History of the Worship of God: In Two Parts; Part I. The Worship of God Among the Children of Israel Before the Days of Jesus Christ; Part II. The Worship of God Since the Days of Jesus Christ or the Rites, Ceremonies and Sacrifice of the Catholic Church To the history of the worship of God under the old law, we have added in a second part, A History of the Worship of God since the days of Jesus Christ, or Rites and Ceremonies of the Catholic Church. The second part will begin with a. Life of our Saviour, where we will show how it is connected with our rites and ceremonies, and from the considera tion of his examples we shall pass to the subject of the great act of worship which he has instituted and commanded to be performed. We hope that after the reading of this work some at least will be convinced of the truth of the words: Thee, the Holy Church throughout the world, does acknowledge.
