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.

this_o whole_a treatise_n be_v contract_v 2_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o this_o syllogism_n 3_o the_o answer_v of_o certain_a objection_n the_o answer_n to_o the_o whole_a syllogism_n concern_v the_o main_a syllogism_n let_v we_o consider_v first_o a_o little_a of_o the_o form_n and_o then_o afterward_o come_v unto_o the_o matter_n in_o the_o form_n i_o only_o observe_v that_o if_o the_o treatiser_n have_v go_v ordinary_o to_o work_v and_o keep_v himself_o exact_o to_o the_o term_n of_o his_o mayor_n the_o minor_n will_v much_o better_o and_o with_o less_o suspicion_n of_o deceit_n have_v be_v conceive_v thus_o no_o humane_a ordinance_n become_v a_o idol_n may_v lawful_o be_v use_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v a_o humane_a ordinance_n become_v a_o idol_n ergo_fw-la the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n may_v not_o lawful_o be_v use_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n for_o so_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o word_n become_v will_v have_v still_o remain_v and_o we_o may_v still_o have_v be_v at_o our_o choice_n whether_o we_o will_v take_v it_o for_o beseem_v and_o add_v ornament_n or_o decency_n to_o a_o idol_n or_o for_o be_v make_v or_o become_v indeed_o a_o idol_n itself_o and_o i_o marvel_v much_o why_o the_o treatiser_n hold_v not_o this_o course_n consider_v that_o first_o it_o will_v have_v be_v as_o available_a for_o his_o present_a purpose_n and_o second_o it_o will_v still_o have_v leave_v a_o impression_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o reader_n that_o no_o ornament_n or_o other_o thing_n beseem_v or_o add_v decency_n to_o a_o jdol_n and_o they_o can_v make_v what_o the_o listen_v a_o jdol_n may_v lawful_o be_v use_v in_o god_n service_n by_o which_o mean_v as_o great_a a_o

say_v mean_v more_o honest_o and_o therefore_o have_v use_v a_o word_n of_o doubtful_a signification_n in_o the_o mayor_n he_o very_o sincere_o restrain_v it_o in_o the_o minor_a to_o his_o purpose_a intent_n thereby_o show_v that_o he_o deal_v plain_o &_o intend_v no_o deceit_n his_o sincerity_n and_o true_a deal_n be_v no_o way_n testify_v by_o this_o mean_n for_o have_v he_o indeed_o mean_v plain_o and_o intend_v no_o sophistication_n he_o will_v have_v conceive_v his_o syllogism_n in_o usual_a and_o know_v term_n &_o such_o as_o be_v proper_a and_o familiar_a in_o this_o argument_n of_o ceremony_n as_o namely_o instead_o of_o humane_a ordinance_n he_o will_v have_v use_v ecclesiastical_a constitution_n for_o become_v a_o idol_n he_o will_v have_v say_v abuse_v to_o idolatry_n or_o superstitious_o abuse_v in_o place_n of_o service_n of_o god_n he_o will_v have_v put_v celebrate_v of_o god_n service_n and_o so_o have_v conclude_v in_o this_o or_o some_o such_o like_a form_n no_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n that_o sometime_o have_v be_v superstitious_o abuse_v may_v afterward_o be_v reduce_v to_o his_o first_o lawful_a use_n and_o so_o retain_v in_o the_o celebrate_n of_o god_n service_n but_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a constitution_n that_o have_v sometime_o be_v superstitious_o abuse_v ergo_fw-la the_o sign_n of_o the_o

have_v set_v down_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n person_n and_o place_n or_o such_o other_o like_a of_o time_n in_o this_o sort_n no_o humane_a ordinance_n once_o of_o good_a use_n that_o
