CAPUT DUODECIMUM, De sacramentis veteris testamenti. Sacramenta V.T. sunt, quae populo Judaico a Deo tradita & instituta per rem terrenam Messiam venturum designabant ad conferendam et obsignandam Euangelii gratiam. II. Sunt autem potissimum duo, CIRCUMCISIO & PASCHA. Alia enim signa sub arctiore sacramentorum notione hic non censemus.
