29. Nomen ipsum crucis absit non modo a corpore civium
Romanorum, sed etiam a cogitatione, oculis, auribus. Cicero
pro Rabirio, c. 5. The Christian writers, Justin, Minucius
Felix, Tertullian, Jerom, and Maximus of Turin, have
investigated with tolerable success the figure or likeness
of a cross in almost every object of nature or art; in the
intersection of the meridian and equator, the human face, a
bird flying, a man swimming, a mast and yard, a plough, a
standard, etc., etc., etc. See Lipsius de Cruce, l. i. c.
