TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>The letter TAV saith Hierome (vpon
        Marke ) being one of the Hebrew Alphabet,
        is a most healthfull and sacred letter, and al-
        so a true note or type of the crosse it selfe, &amp;
        because that this letter in the holie tongue
        signifieth a marke. Some partly, who mour-
        ned ouer the abhomination of Ierusalem to
        bee marked, whereby they were saued in the
        midst of the wicked, who by the comman-
        dement of God were all sodenly destroyed.
        Moreouer Tau signifieth a ful perfection, and
        therefore it is the last letter of the Hebrew
        Alphabet, as both ending and perfecting the
        same. Whereof also they make a great mi-
        stery, especially whereas our redeemer Christ
        being nayled to the crosse, before hee gaue
        vp the Ghost, burst forth into these words:
        thereby declaring the type of all Prophesies,
        and holie scriptures, that is, euen the verie
        same houre that he was fastned to the tree,
        shewing that the accomplishment of this Jet-
        ter was performed. Which letter, although
        it surely tend vnto a figure; yet described by
        the manifest character, it farre plainer shew-
        eth the figure of the crosse, than otherwise.
        And therefore both the Greekes and Latines
        to this day do write it in forme of a crosse.<lb/>
        <pb n="embmne_pae1591_fac003"/>
        This letter therefore is a most proper and
        true badge or cognizance of all those that
        being mustered do warre in the Church of
        Christ to the worldes end.
