The third comparison was, that Sopping was used by Christ, at the very table of the Supper, but Crossing was never so much honoured by him or his Apostles, as to use it at any time. The Rejoinder answereth, that this argument would prove as well, that the eating of a Paschal lamb before the Sacrament, to be better then Sprinkling of water on the forehead of the Baptized. Because CHRIST did that, and not this. But this is not so well. For that ⟨p. 40⟩1. Sprinkling of water is no instituted ceremony distinct from that washing which Christ and his Apostles used. 2. It is very probable that the Apostles going into the colder part of the world, did use sprinkling.

3. Concerning a Paschal lamb, used before the Sacrament, as a Ceremony morally significant and reductively Sacramental, I see not why it should not be preferred before the Cross or any such invention, even because Christ did use it, if that Circumcision be now a lawful Christian Ceremony, as the Def. and Rejoinder profess and maintain, pag. 285. It is also credibly reported a great Bishop, not long since living, that every Easter day, he used to have a whole lamb, prepared after the Paschal manner, brought to his table. D. B. knoweth well who it was, and of whom he hath heard it.
