Of the Cross in Baptism.
Of all our Ceremonies,1 there is none that I have more suspected to be simply unlawful than the Cross in Baptism, yet ⟨p. 31⟩I dare not peremptorily say, that the Cross in Baptism is unlawful; nor will I condemn Ancients or Moderns that use it; nor will I make any disturbance in the Church about it, more than my own forbearance will make. I presume not to censure them that judge it lawful, but only give the Reasons that make me doubt, and rather think it to be unlawful, though still with a suspicion of my own Understanding.
