<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. </p>
