The failure must be mainly attributed to the unlucky meddling of the friars, who have marshalled The helmed Cherubim And sworded Seraphim with exact military precision, ranged the celestial choir in rows like the fiddlers of a sublunary orchestra, and accommodated the congregation of the righteous with long benches, like those of a Methodist meeting-house!— Anecdotes of Painters, Engravers, Sculptors and Architects and Curiosities of Art (Vol. 3 of 3)
