9. That our Ceremonies are not individually, or singularly the same which Papists have solemnly abused, the Replier said, it is no marvel: because it is impossible to carry the same particular sign of the Cross, from the Font, to the Church door; or to keep it being so long as it is in making. That is therefore no great mystery. The Rejoinder answereth nothing to this, save only that he descanteth upon the term mystery.

10. It was added (as an overplus, not for necessity of the Argument) that as it seemeth, Papists do give divine honour unto the sign of the Cross, as it is used among us: because they ascribe divine operation un•o it, as it was used by Jews, Heathens, and Julian the Apostate. Bell, de effect. Sacram. lib. 2. cap. 31. and they do not account us worse then them. The Rejoinder opposeth 1. That the Papists honour not the Lords Supper in our hands. The difference is, that unto that Sacrament, they require a right-ordained Priest; but not so to the Cross. 2. He answereth, that they ascribe this divine operation unto it, only when there is an intention of such an operation, in him that maketh the Cross. Be it so: the Patrons of our crossing, defend that use which the Cross had among the Fathers, who allowed that intention, as Bellarmine (in the place now cited) showeth. And how shall the inward intention of them be discerned?
