As there is great difference betwixt the paynting of an Image, to sette foorth an historie, and placing of it in the Churche to be worshipped, so is there also as great dif∣ference, or more, betwixt crossing a childe in the forehead at the time of baptisme, with expressing the cause and vse of it, and the placing of crosses in Churches or highways and streates.
The crossing of the childes forehead, is but for a moment, the crosse of wood and stone remayneth and continueth: the crosse in the childes forehead is not made to be adored and worshipped, neyther was euer any man so madde, as to imagine any such thing of it: but the crosses in churches, streates, and highwayes, of mettall and woode, were erected to be worshipped, and were so accordingly, and therefore there is no like perill in the one, as there is in the other.
