Ancient Latin works sometimes contain perfect passive participles. Such verbal adjectives are employed:
1) Adjectivally (e.g., Laudamus glorificatum Deum)
2) Substantivally (e.g., Scimus adjutos a Petro)
3) As the equivalent of an adverbial clause (e.g., Puer, a diacano monitus, ecclesiam intravit)
All of the examples above come from ecclesiastical Latin.
