Saint Ambrose in his treaty of the death of Theodosius the Emperor, saith, Helene found the cross and the title on it. She worshipped the king, and not the wood surely (for that is an ethnyshe error, and the vanity of the wicked) but she worshipped him that hanged on the cross, and whose name was written in the title, and so forth. See both the godly Empress fact, and saint Ambrose judgement at once. They thought it had ben an Heathenish error and vanity of the wicked, to have worshipped the cross it self which was imbrued with our saviour Christs own precious blood. And we fall down before every cross piece of timber, which is but an image of that cross.
Saint Ambrose in his treatie of the death of Theodosius the Emperour, sayth, Helene founde the crosse and the tytle on it. Shee worshypped the kyng, and not the wood surely (for that is an ethnyshe errour, and the vanitie of the wycked) but she worshypped hym that hanged on the crosse, and whose name was written in the title, and so foorth. See both the godly Empresse fact, and saint Ambrose iudgement at once. They thought it had ben an Heathenyshe errour and vanitie of the wycked, to haue worshypped the crosse it selfe which was embrewed with our sauiour Christes owne precious blood. And we fal downe before euery crosse peece of tymber, whiche is but an image of that crosse.
Saint Augustine, the best learned of all ancient doctors, in his. xliiii. Epistle to Maximus saith, Know thou that none of the dead, nor any thing that is made of God, is worshipped as god, of the catholic Christians, of whom there is a Church also in your town. Note, that by Saint Augustine, such as worshipped the dead or creatures, be no catholic Christians.
