Unto M. Bucers authority / I could here oppose men of as great authority / yea the authority of all the reformed churches / which shall also be done afterward. And if there were nothing to oppose but the word of God / which will have the sacraments ministered simply / and in that sincerity that they be left unto us / it is enough to make all men to cover their faces / and to be ashamed / if that which they shall speak / be not agreeable to that simplicity. The reasons which Bucer bringeth I will answer / which in this matter of crossing are two. First that it is ancient / and so it is in deed. For Tertullian maketh mention of this 1usage / and if this be sufficient to prove the goodness of it / then there is no cause why we should mislike of the other superstitions and corruptions which were likewise used in those tunes. For the same Tertullian showeth / that they used 2also at baptism to taste of milk and honey / and not to wash all the week after they had ministered baptism.
