III.There are sacraments of the Old Testament and of the New.Before Abraham the Church was without sacraments strictly so called, fed by the word alone—though in integrity the tree of life showed Christ with a kind of sacramental signification, and after the fall there were extraordinary sacramental signs (Noah's ark, 1 Pet. 3:20-21; 1 Cor. 10:1-4).
On the sacraments of the Old Testament.
Latin
III. Sunt autem sacramenta alia veteris, alia Novi Testamenti. Ante Abrahamum Ecclesia fuit sine sacramentis stricte sumptis, solo verbo pasta; etiamsi in statu integritatis arbor vitae quadam sacramentali significatione Christum ostenderit, & post lapsum signa sacramentalia extraordinaria fuerunt (arca Noae, 1 Pet. 3:20-21; 1 Cor. 10:1-4). CAPUT DUODECIMUM sequitur, De sacramentis veteris testamenti.
