Of the Cross in Baptism.
P. 417. But of all our Ceremonies, there is none that I have more suspected to be simply unlawful, than the Cross in Baptism.
P. 418. Yet I dare not peremptorily say, That it is unlawful, nor will I condemn either Ancients or Moderns that use it; nor will I make any disturbance in the Church about it, more than my own forbearance vvill 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, tho' still with a suspicion of my own Understanding, and a love and honour to Dissenters.
I presume not to censure them that judge it lavvful, but only give the Reasons that make me doubt, and rather think it to be unlavvful, tho' still with a suspicion of my own Understanding, and a love and honour to Dissenters.
