IV.The PASSOVER was the slaughter and eating of an unblemished little lamb for memory of liberation from Egypt and as a shadow of Christ.
The paschal lamb is not a sacrifice properly so called, but a true sacrament shadowing Christ and His merit and benefits—because the institution mentions no sacrificing; slaughter was by the people not a priest; it was eaten not burned; and it was slain in Egypt where no sacrifice was to be offered (Exod.8:26).Yet it was a type of Christ's sacrifice: unblemished yearling (1 Pet. 1:19); set apart; slain (Isa. 53:7); bones unbroken (John 19:36); blood on the doorposts; memorial of liberation; flesh eaten without leaven (1 Cor. 5:7-8).
Chapter thirteen continues with a discussion of baptism.

IV. PASCHA fuit agniculi immaculati mactatio & esus ad memoriam liberationis ex Aegypto & adumbrationem Christi. Agnus paschalis non est sacrificium proprie dictum, sed verum sacramentum adumbrans Christum eiusque meritum & beneficia credentibus conferens—quia in institutione nulla mentio sacrificandi; mactatio non a sacerdote sed a populo; non comburebatur sed comedebatur; mactabatur in Aegypto ubi nullum sacrificium offerri debuit (Exod. 8:26). Typus tamen sacrificii Christi: agnus anniculus immaculatus (1 Pet. 1:19; Isa. 53:9); segregatus; mactatus (Isa. 53:7); os non confractum (John 19:36); sanguis postibus adspersus; memoriale liberationis; caro edebatur sine fermento (1 Cor. 5:7-8).
