A66406	The papist represented, and not misrepresented being in answer to the second sheet of the second part of the Papist misrepresented and represented : and for a further vindication of the catechism truly representing the doctrines and practices of the Church of Rome, in the point of their praying to the cross.

willing_a to_o clear_v the_o point_n and_o as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v leave_v it_o without_o exception_n 1._o i_o shall_v show_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o a_o cross._n 2._o i_o shall_v prove_v that_o

the_o abovesaid_a character_n of_o the_o cross_n i_o shall_v transcribe_v the_o sum_n of_o what_o he_o write_v of_o this_o matter_n 51._o it_o have_v it_o seem_v be_v object_v that_o if_o all_o the_o cross_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v because_o christ_n hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n all_o thorn_n reed_n nail_n spear_n sepulcher_n etc._n etc._n be_v to_o have_v the_o same_o respect_n because_o christ_n be_v crown_v with_o thorn_n nail_v to_o the_o cross_n have_v his_o side_n pierce_v and_o at_o last_o be_v bury_v in_o a_o sepulchre_n to_o this_o gretser_n answer_n that_o all_o cross_n be_v make_v in_o imitation_n of_o the_o cross_n upon_o which_o christ_n suffer_v and_o of_o he_o suffer_v upon_o it_o and_o that_o they_o may_v both_o represent_v that_o and_o him._n wherefore_o we_o do_v deserve_o honour_v all_o cross_n as_o they_o be_v image_n and_o a_o image_n be_v for_o representation_n but_o we_o do_v not_o thus_o honour_v all_o sepulcher_n nail_n etc._n etc._n because_o they_o be_v not_o image_n or_o representation_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n of_o christ_n nor_o of_o the_o nail_n that_o fasten_v his_o body_n to_o the_o cross._n but_o if_o any_o one_o do_v build_v a_o sepulchre_n or_o erect_v a_o manger_n or_o make_v nail_n or_o choose_v out_o thorn_n in_o imitation_n and_o for_o a_o representation_n of_o the_o first_o sepulchre_n manger_n nail_n and_o thorn_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o they_o may_v be_v worship_v for_o than_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o and_o have_v in_o they_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o image_n which_o be_v representation_n so_o that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o sepulchre_n and_o sepulchre_n manger_n and_o manger_n and_o which_o distinction_n be_v such_o that_o the_o one_o be_v a_o object_n of_o worship_n and_o another_o be_v not_o so_o there_o be_v betwixt_o cross_n and_o cross_n that_o be_v betwixt_o a_o cross_n either_o natural_a accidental_a and_o artificial_a when_o make_v for_o other_o use_n and_o a_o cross_n that_o be_v representative_a as_o the_o same_o author_n there_o show_v so_o that_o our_o author_n may_v safe_o enough_o declare_v 10._o that_o if_o his_o religion_n do_v either_o teach_v or_o practise_v such_o stupid_a idolatry_n as_o pray_v to_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n he_o can_v no_o more_o be_v any_o long_o of_o her_o communion_n than_o he_o can_v sacrifice_v to_o molech_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o wood_n it_o be_v not_o the_o cross_n we_o be_v here_o concern_v in_o not_o the_o cross_n by_o representation_n not_o the_o cross_n by_o consecration_n which_o alone_o and_o under_o that_o consideration_n be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o worship_n so_o that_o though_o he_o may_v continue_v in_o that_o communion_n and_o make_v this_o protestation_n against_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n yet_o he_o can_v be_v of_o that_o communion_n and_o enter_v the_o like_a protestation_n against_o a_o represent_v and_o consecrate_a cross_n and_o call_v such_o application_n to_o it_o idolatry_n for_o this_o cross_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o be_v not_o only_o representative_a but_o be_v also_o consecrate_v for_o that_o purpose_n and_o there_o be_v
