i_o have_v not_o authority_n to_o define_v but_o certain_a it_o be_v first_o that_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o shall_v be_v a_o mark_n of_o distinction_n between_o the_o elect_a and_o

and_o why_o it_o shall_v be_v upon_o the_o forehead_n of_o those_o that_o be_v to_o be_v save_v by_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v a_o cross_n i_o think_v no_o body_n can_v determine_v hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o all_o that_o be_v find_v mark_v with_o the_o cross_n at_o the_o great_a day_n shall_v be_v under_o the_o protection_n of_o almighty_a god._n but_o those_o that_o be_v find_v

second_o place_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o what_o disposition_n of_o mind_n be_v requisite_a to_o the_o end_n the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n may_v prove_v beneficial_a to_o those_o that_o make_v use_v of_o it_o st._n paul_n rom._n 2._o blame_v the_o jew_n for_o put_v too_o much_o confidence_n in_o the_o outward_a circumcision_n of_o their_o flesh_n as_o if_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o save_v they_o without_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o commandment_n tell_v they_o it_o be_v not_o the_o external_a circumcision_n of_o the_o body_n that_o make_v they_o child_n of_o abraham_n but_o the_o

upon_o our_o forehead_n do_v not_o make_v we_o christian_n i._n e._n child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o inward_a sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o our_o soul_n no_o body_n as_o a_o

make_v it_o inward_o in_o his_o heart_n by_o faith_n circumcision_n say_v the_o apostle_n ibid._n be_v a_o profitable_a thing_n if_o you_o observe_v the_o commandment_n otherwise_o circumcision_n be_v no_o better_a than_o gentility_n so_o the_o cross_n upon_o the_o forehead_n be_v good_a if_o it_o be_v join_v with_o a_o cross_n in_o the_o heart_n if_o not_o we_o be_v but_o heathen_n under_o the_o mark_n of_o christanity_n but_o what_o be_v it_o you_o will_v say_v to_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o our_o heart_n it_o be_v to_o have_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o virtue_n which_o christ_n exercise_v upon_o the_o cross_n of_o which_o the_o outward_a cross_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o without_o which_o that_o outward_a sign_n can_v benefit_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o example_n sake_n the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v a_o sign_n of_o humility_n a_o sign_n of_o humility_n in_o christ_n that_o die_v upon_o it_o and_o a_o sign_n of_o humility_n in_o those_o that_o make_v it_o now_o as_o i_o say_v it_o will_v benefit_v we_o nothing_o to_o carry_v the_o sign_n of_o humility_n without_o if_o we_o have_v a_o proud_a heart_n within_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o patience_n it_o will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a to_o have_v the_o sign_n of_o patience_n upon_o our_o forehead_n whilst_o our_o mind_n be_v full_a of_o anger_n and_o revenge_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o charity_n what_o will_v it_o avail_v we_o under_o the_o mark_n of_o mercy_n and_o love_n to_o have_v a_o heart_n replenish_v with_o hatred_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n and_o void_a of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n towards_o the_o poor_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o suffer_v to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v we_o make_v profession_n of_o suffer_v whilst_o we_o welter_v in_o pleasure_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o victory_n we_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a to_o wear_v the_o laurel_n have_v never_o yet_o fight_v against_o sin_n and_o be_v yet_o fetter_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o fine_a all_o

profession_n of_o our_o belief_n in_o one_o god_n who_o be_v three_o person_n and_o in_o our_o redeemer_n who_o die_v for_o we_o upon_o a_o cross_n it_o be_v the_o badge_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o the_o livery_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o despise_v it_o now_o for_o fear_v he_o despise_v we_o another_o day_n it_o be_v a_o tacit_n invocation_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o god_n the_o son_n we_o must_v mark_v all_o our_o action_n with_o it_o lest_o for_o want_v of_o it_o they_o be_v reject_v by_o the_o eternal_a father_n it_o be_v a_o memorial_n of_o christ_n conquest_n and_o our_o redemption_n let_v we_o carry_v it_o about_o we_o that_o we_o do_v not_o fall_v into_o
