A03915 An ansvvere to a certaine treatise of the crosse in baptisme. Intituled A short treatise of the crosse in baptisme contracted into this syllogisme. No humane ordinance becomming an idoll may lawfully be vsed in the service of God. But the signe of the crosse, being an humane ordinance is become an idoll. Ergo: the signe of the crosse, may not lawfully bee vsed in the service of God. VVherein not only the weaknesse of the syllogisme it selfe, but also of the grounds and proofes thereof, are plainely discovered. By L.H. Doct. of Divinitie. Hutton, Leonard. 1605 (1605) STC 14023; ESTC S104328 89,079 150

take_v it_o that_o the_o reason_n be_v not_o like_a why_o the_o cross_n recover_v out_o of_o the_o abuse_n shall_v return_v to_o his_o ancient_a integrity_n &_o why_o the_o bread_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n reclaim_v from_o popish_a adoration_n shall_v be_v again_o restore_v to_o his_o right_a use_n the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v of_o a_o double_a use_n of_o the_o cross_n civil_a and_o religious_a whereby_o he_o will_v imply_v as_o i_o think_v that_o the_o civil_a use_n may_v be_v restore_v to_o his_o ancient_a indifferency_n but_o the_o religious_a use_n can_v the_o three_o part_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v concern_v our_o abuse_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n who_o he_o say_v retain_v it_o among_o we_o with_o opinion_n very_o

yet_o you_o prefer_v tertullians_n judgement_n who_o say_v traditio_fw-la tibi_fw-la praetenditur_fw-la auctrix_fw-la etc._n etc._n if_o this_o be_v not_o your_o meaning_n in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o your_o answer_n i_o confess_v i_o can_v attain_v unto_o it_o your_o word_n be_v so_o intricate_a &_o doubtful_o set_v down_o which_o have_v cause_v i_o to_o use_v the_o help_n of_o your_o

difference_n between_o that_o which_o god_n have_v create_v &_o command_v and_o that_o which_o man_n as_o man_n have_v ordain_v for_o the_o first_o proceed_v from_o the_o clear_a fountain_n of_o all_o

you_o make_v your_o comparison_n between_o that_o which_o god_n have_v command_v &_o that_o which_o the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v ordain_v as_o in_o reason_n you_o ought_v to_o do_v the_o difference_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o let_v god_n commandment_n have_v worthy_o the_o first_o place_n and_o pre-eminence_n in_o all_o thing_n as_o be_v meet_v but_o let_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o church_n be_v immediate_o subordinate_a unto_o god_n commandment_n and_o range_v in_o a_o second_o place_n not_o only_o because_o the_o church_n of_o god_n hear_v his_o voice_n but_o also_o because_o she_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o spirit_n and_o by_o the_o great_a 1.4_o 2._o pet._n 1.4_o and_o precious_a promise_n of_o god_n
