Neque hoc genus virtutis vlli per legem Dei necessario imparutū est, sed volutaria devotione Domino offerendū, dicente ipso de hoc, Evangelio: Nō omnes capiunt verbū istud, sed quibus datū est. Ad quā tamē benigna mox exho•tatione eos qui possunt inuitat dicens: 1Qui potest capere •apiat. Undè gratia distinctionis nō Moses foeminalibus vestire Aaron & filios eius jubetur, 2ut de prioribus dicitur: vesties ijs Aaron fratrē tuū & filios eius cū eo: sed, facies (inquit) faeminalia linea ut operiant carnē turpitudinis suae. Ipsi (inquit) operian• ea•nē turpitudinis suae, tu foeminalia pontifici & filijs eius facies: tu castitatis regulam docebis: tu abstinendum ab uxorio complexu eis qui Sacerdotio functuri sunt, intimabis: nulli tamē violentū huiusmodi continentiae jugū imponens: sed quicunque Sacerdotes fieri ac ministerio altaris seruire volunt, ipsi sua sponte uxori serui esse desistant. Quod ubi perfecerint, atque suscepto semel continentiae proposito, ministros se Sanctuarij atque Altaris fore consenserint, aderit divina gratia quae velut caeteris illis habitū Sacerdotibus congruū imponens, quomodo vivere vel docere debeant, abundanter instituit. Qui sensus subsequentibus quoque Domini verbis affirmatur, quibus post pauca subiungit: Cùmque laveris patrē con filijs aqua, endues Aaron vestimentis suis, id e•t, linea & tunica, 3& superhumerali, & rationali, quod stringes balteo, & pones tiaram, & oleum unctionis funds super caput eius, atque hoc ritu consecrabitur. Filios quoque illius applicabis & endues tunicis lineis, cingesque Aaron balteo, cilicet & liberos eius, & impones eis Mitras, eruntque Sacerdotes mei in religione perpetua: Namque hic de foemmalibus à Moyse accipiendis praecipitur. Undè liquidò constat quod se hoc genere vestimenti ipse prius Aaron ac filij eius induerant, & •ic ad manum Moysi lavandi, inducendi, ungendi & consecrandi intrabant. Hic apertè ostenditur & docetur nulli continentiae jugum inuito imponendum, sed à Deo prompta & devota voluntate accipiendum.
