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?

This at the least seemeth to follow, that as for uncertainty of the Priests intention, divers Papists worship the Host, only upon condition, if it be changed into the body, by the Priests intention; so they must ascribe divine honour unto our Crosses, upon the like condition of such an intention, as was in the Fathers.
