The reason why napkins from Paul's body1 had an importance, that pocket-handkerchiefs dipped in martyrs' blood had not, is as simple as possible. In Paul's case God was confirming the word preached by Paul by signs following; in the other case He was not. I must say, if a person has not some more sensible objections to make, it is hardly fair to waste rational people's time with such as these.
 
1. ”Why Should I look with more respect on the napkins taken from Paul’s body (Acts 19:1212So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. (Acts 19:12)), than on pocket-handkerchiefs dipped in the blood of martyrs? (Phases, pp.130, 131)
