"We have frequently to say Mass and the Divine Office, which occupies two hours every day, we are bound to attend to "the work of the ministry," to catechize the ignorant, to instruct converts and strayed sheep both in public and in private, to attend for many hours in the cold confessional ( a delightful employment! some dissolute but ignorant people would suppose,) to visit the sick, even those affected with the plague or the most contagious diseases, some of whom live at the distance of 30 or 40 miles from us. We have to preach twice on all the Sabbath Days, (which term denotes all 10-I holidays,) during which, the service lasts about five hours; we have to baptize, prepare people for their first communion, with great solicitude, as well as for confirmation and the last sacrament; we have to perform what is requisite for the solemnization of marriage, and the burial of the dead, privately; we also have to church women, though we do not go to "their houses" for that purpose ! We keep registers of baptisms, &c. which are now allowed by the magistrate. All this we perform "gratis." Still we have no tithes or surplice "fees," which, in the Establishment Church, are found so exorbitant.
