the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n will_v be_v apparent_a by_o these_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o custom_n in_o army_n for_o different_a company_n or_o troop_n to_o have_v banner_n or_o ensign_n but_o it_o be_v never_o the_o custom_n of_o any_o army_n for_o every_o several_a soldier_n to_o carry_v a_o banner_n or_o ensign_n from_o the_o custom_n of_o a_o banner_n or_o ensign_n then_o how_o you_o can_v conclude_v for_o the_o sign_v of_o every_o singular_a christian_a with_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n pass_v my_o imagination_n 2._o the_o customary_a use_n of_o a_o banner_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a war_n and_o not_o only_o at_o the_o first_o enrolment_n of_o soldier_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o prove_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n it_o will_v conclude_v for_o the_o frequent_a and_o constant_a use_n of_o it_o all_o the_o time_n of_o our_o warfare_n and_o this_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o plead_v for_o 3._o a_o permanent_a cross_n have_v more_o proportion_n unto_o the_o banner_n and_o ensign_n of_o army_n than_o the_o transient_a and_o aërial_a cross_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o of_o your_o party_n who_o allow_v of_o the_o transient_a cross_n in_o baptism_n that_o dislike_v permanent_a cross_n in_o god_n worship_n because_o they_o think_v there_o be_v more_o danger_n of_o superstition_n in_o they_o now_o these_o man_n in_o all_o probability_n lay_v no_o great_a stress_n upon_o this_o your_o resemblance_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o a_o banner_n or_o ensign_n and_o my_o reason_n for_o this_o my_o conjecture_n for_o i_o urge_v it_o only_o as_o a_o conjecture_n be_v because_o they_o reject_v all_o permanent_a cross_n in_o god_n service_n which_o do_v more_o resemble_v a_o banner_n or_o ensign_n than_o a_o transient_a cross._n 4._o i_o have_v do_v my_o best_a to_o sound_v the_o depth_n and_o strength_n of_o your_o argument_n and_o if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v thus_o it_o stand_v the_o omission_n of_o a_o banner_n or_o ensign_n in_o our_o spiritual_a warfare_n that_o be_v use_v by_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v undecent_a but_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n be_v thus_o use_v by_o the_o primitive_a christian_n therefore_o omission_n of_o it_o be_v undecent_a by_o primitive_a christian_n i_o suppose_v you_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o apostle_n or_o such_o apostolical_a person_n as_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o infallible_a spirit_n and_o then_o i_o deny_v your_o major_n and_o for_o this_o my_o denial_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o reason_n 1._o in_o christ_n our_o
