26 I| and have hanged him on the cross. And a matron, a widow,
27 I| ascended on high upon the cross, and the robber of the people
28 I| thou hangedst him in the cross thou knewest not what damage

33 I| saints. And the cause why the cross is borne and the bells rung
34 I| for trumps, he hath the cross for banners. And like as
35 I| of the King, that is the cross, which the enemies dread
36 I| thunder, they set out the cross against the tempest to the
37 I| therefore in procession the cross is borne, and the bells
38 I| leave to tempest us. The cross is borne for to represent

46 I| hour he was nailed to the cross, and darknesses were throughout
47 I| he was taken down off the cross and borne to the sepulchre;
48 I| Jesu Christ saved by the cross the four parts of the world,

55 I| made by Jesu Christ on the cross and therefore is this cross
56 I| cross and therefore is this cross laid and made transverse
57 I| accomplished by Jesu Christ on the cross, for he said when he died:
58 I| is accomplished. And the cross is made transverse because
59 I| they see the sign of the cross there, by which they have
60 I| dread much the sign of the cross. And hereof saith Chrysostom:
61 I| they see the sign of the cross they shall flee, for they
62 I| twelve lights before the cross, for to represent the twelve

78 II| saluted it, and said: All hail cross which art dedicate in the
79 II| thee to embrace. O thou cross which hast received beauty
80 II| then they hung him on the cross, like as to them was commanded.
81 II| to take him down off the cross. And when Andrew saw him
82 II| have taken him down off the cross he made this orison hanging
83 II| this orison hanging on the cross, as S. Austin saith in the
84 II| not to descend from this cross alive, for it is time that

152 III| the same place where the cross lay, a temple of a goddess,
153 III| he knew not which was the cross of our Lord, he laid them
154 III| Jerusalem.~When Helena had the cross of Jesu Christ, and saw
