SOME of the Fathers saw the cross in everything. “For observe,” says JUSTIN MARTYR, in his Apology (§ 72) how impossible it is that anything in the world should be regulated, or any mutual intercourse carried on, without employing this figure. The sea cannot be navigated, unless this symbol, as the mast and yard-arm of the sail, remains firm in the ship. Without an instrument in this form, the land cannot be ploughed; neither can they who dig exercise their labour, nor handicraftmen pursue their occupations, without implements which are fashioned in like manner. human figure also differs from those of irrational animals in no respect but this, that it is erect, and hath the hands extended; and in the countenance also hath the nose reaching downward from the forehead, by which we are able to breathe. This again shows no figure but that of the cross.'
