burn_v the_o cross_n it_o be_v altogether_o uncertain_a another_o maintain_v they_o throw_v it_o into_o the_o sea_n how_o can_v that_o hold_v who_o jerusalem_n be_v not_o a_o seabordering_a city_n

last_o yet_o cunning_o bury_v it_o very_o deep_a in_o the_o earth_n and_o with_o it_o the_o image_n of_o venus_n and_o adonis_n who_o will_v not_o utter_o reject_v this_o fable_n ifhe_v but_o

of_o saint_n paul_n acts._n 19_o verse_n 12._o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o god_n be_v willing_a by_o those_o miracle_n to_o honour_v the_o apostleship_n of_o saint_n paul_n to_o the_o end_n that_o such_o as_o never_o see_v his_o face_n may_v yet_o be_v persuade_v of_o he_o and_o that_o god_n have_v authorize_v such_o miracle_n by_o he_o as_o be_v the_o true_a servant_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o here_o be_v the_o point_n whereon_o we_o stand_v to_o wit_n that_o those_o miracle_n be_v testify_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v so_o be_v say_v of_o the_o wood_n of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n the_o scripture_n not_o make_v any_o mention_n thereof_o for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o if_o god_n have_v please_v to_o work_v by_o such_o a_o instrument_n or_o mean_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v not_o have_v be_v silent_a therein_o the_o rather_o make_v mention_n of_o thing_n concern_v the_o servant_n doubtless_o he_o will_v never_o have_v forget_v the_o master_n it_o seem_v most_o evident_a if_o it_o be_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o that_o god_n will_v not_o limit_v man_n to_o such_o earthly_a thing_n as_o likewise_o s._n paul_n have_v teach_v we_o by_o his_o example_n 2._o cor._n 5._o verse_n 16._o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o know_v christ_n jesus_n after_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o the_o colossian_n 5._o verse_n 15._o we_o serve_v god_n in_o spirit_n glorify_v we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n not_o believe_v at_o all_o in_o the_o flesh_n now_o before_o we_o pass_v any_o further_a it_o be_v necessary_a to_o declare_v in_o this_o place_n what_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n if_o by_o the_o word_n cross_v we_o understande_v the_o suffering_n which_o the_o son_n of_o god_n endure_v both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o esaye_n 55._o verse_n 3._o be_v fill_v with_o sorrow_n and_o full_a of_o heaviness_n in_o soul_n even_o to_o the_o death_n as_o have_v drink_v the_o cup_n of_o god_n anger_n whereon_o he_o cry_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o such_o suffering_n exceed_v representation_n for_o our_o sense_n can_v comprehend_v they_o but_o by_o faith_n we_o understand_v that_o they_o be_v infinite_a and_o unspeakable_a therefore_o we_o say_v in_o our_o creed_n that_o we_o believe_v christ_n jesus_n do_v suffer_v that_o he_o be_v crucify_v dead_a and_o buire_v that_o he_o descend_v into_o hell_n all_o these_o then_o be_v unspeakable_a must_v needs_o be_v likewise_o irrepresentable_a but_o if_o by_o the_o word_n cross_n we_o understand_v the_o wood_n whereon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n ofter_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o his_o father_n for_o the_o propitiation_n of_o our_o sin_n it_o be_v casie_a then_o to_o be_v paint_v or_o figure_v yet_o such_o a_o figure_n can_v be_v but_o the_o portrait_n of_o those_o instrument_n wherewith_o the_o hangman_n be_v furnish_v to_o torment_v our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n if_o then_o those_o instrument_n can_v have_v no_o virtue_n in_o they_o that_o which_o be_v but_o the_o image_n thereof_o must_v needs_o have_v much_o less_o now_o it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o the_o wood_n have_v no_o virtue_n in_o it_o but_o what_o be_v natural_a neither_o can_v the_o jew_n give_v it_o any_o for_o themselves_o have_v none_o but_o a_o readiness_n to_o cuill_n do_v why_o then_o it_o remain_v that_o if_o it_o can_v have_v any_o at_o all_o it_o must_v be_v by_o touch_v the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o how_o such_o touch_v can_v confer_v any_o grace_n to_o the_o wood_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o say_v because_o as_o have_v be_v declare_v it_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n why_o then_o we_o may_v likewise_o affirm_v that_o those_o lip_n of_o judas_n which_o kiss_v jesus_n the_o hand_n of_o they_o that_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o led_z buffet_v nail_v and_o crucify_v he_o receive_v likewise_o some_o virtue_n from_o he_o which_o be_v most_o absurd_a much_o more_o be_v it_o then_o to_o say_v that_o wood_n have_v no_o life_n by_o a_o mere_a touch_n only_o shall_v be_v susceptible_a of_o holiness_n and_o virtue_n for_o if_o such_o virtue_n have_v be_v give_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o wood_n because_o christ_n suffer_v thereon_o like_o virtue_n will_v have_v be_v bestow_v on_o they_o by_o who_o he_o suffer_v for_o they_o be_v those_o which_o shall_v perform_v what_o the_o define_v counsel_n of_o god_n have_v before_o determine_v act_n 4._o ver_fw-la 28._o nor_o be_v such_o allegation_n worthy_a receive_n in_o nothing_o some_o difference_n in_o dissemblable_a instrument_n to_o wit_n that_o judas_n and_o the_o jew_n can_v be_v bad_a and_o yet_o the_o cross_n not_o for_o evermore_o this_o be_v to_o be_v grant_v that_o if_o the_o touch_v draw_v virtue_n and_o sanctity_n to_o it_o chief_o because_o it_o be_v as_o the_o altar_n for_o sacrifice_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n it_o stand_v not_o with_o reason_n that_o the_o cross_n be_v a_o lifeless_a thing_n can_v be_v endue_v with_o virtue_n and_o sanctity_n soon_o than_o man_n live_v and_o move_v hence_o then_o easy_o may_v be_v derive_v that_o if_o the_o cross_n of_o wood_n can_v not_o receive_v any_o virtue_n or_o holiness_n the_o sign_n or_o image_n thereof_o doubtless_o be_v far_o less_o capable_a of_o such_o grace_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o saint_n paul_n attribute_v all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o the_o word_n and_o not_o unto_o the_o sign_n thereof_o when_o he_o say_v 1._o corinth_n 1._o ver_fw-la 18._o the_o preach_v of_o the_o cross_n be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o we_o which_o be_v save_v for_o god_n instruct_v his_o church_n by_o his_o word_n and_o the_o sign_n and_o sacrament_n institute_v by_o he_o which_o sacrament_n can_v not_o be_v sacrament_n except_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v unite_v with_o they_o according_a as_o s._n augustin_n say_v the_o word_n be_v conjoin_v to_o the_o element_n and_o then_o it_o be_v make_v a_o sacrament_n see_v then_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n never_o be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o that_o neither_o the_o word_n of_o god_n nor_o the_o history_n of_o the_o passion_n &_o cross_n of_o christ_n have_v make_v any_o mention_n of_o such_o virtue_n in_o the_o sign_n we_o ought_v not_o stretch_v our_o wit_n beyond_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n for_o to_o outstep_v the_o limit_n prescribe_v by_o god_n be_v to_o eat_v the_o fruit_n forbid_v by_o god_n and_o to_o tempt_v god_n by_o bold_a presumption_n
