A16619 A shorte treatise, of the crosse in baptisme contracted into this syllogisme. No humane ordinance becomming an idoll, may lawfully be vsed in the seruice of God. But the signe of the crosse being a humane ordinance is become an idoll: ergo· The signe of the crosse may not lawfully be vsed in the seruice of God. Bradshaw, William, 1571-1618. 1604 (1604) STC 3526; ESTC S120939 11,048 30
