SEQWNTVR informationes & cautelae, obseruandae presbytero volenti divina celebrate. PRima cautela est, ut Sacerdos Missam celebraturus, conscientiam suam per puram confesonē optimè praeparet sacramentum vehementer desideret, & conficere 1 intendat. Notulam de modo agendi officium, memoriter & been sciat.
