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.

11. About material formal sameness, the Replier refused to dispute: that was (saith the Rejoinder) because if he had, he must either have opposed all learning and common sense, or else have yielded to the Defendant, that change of essential form maketh the same material to become another thing; as in the changing of water into wine. But 1. with consent of all common sense, we may say, that our Cross differeth not so from the Popish Cross as the wine did from water, Joh. 2. 2. It were no opposition to all learning (whatsoever Aristotle teacheth) if one should say, that not the form only, but also the matter was in a great part changed, when water was turned into wine. 3.

For one and the same ceremonial Cross, is used by Papists, to divers intentions, as to represent a Mystery, to cure diseases, to drive away devils, &c. Bellarmine in the fore-cited place. And opinion belongeth to the efficient or making cause, not to the form. 4. The very making of a Cross▪ in such a manner, or with such circumstances, as put upon it a relation to religion, maketh both matter and form of that Ceremony: and so after idolatrously abused, carrieth with it at least a show of an Idolatrous Ceremony.
