1.20 Ne vocetis. Agnoscit synagoga calamitatem suam, quam post adventum Christi merito patitur: et refugit pulchra vocari, quia tempora prosperitatis suæ finiri conspicit. Quando primum. Id est quando lex incarnationis suæ ordinem ad mysterium passionis Christi convertit. Messis enim hordeacea tempus Dominicæ passionis exprimit, quæ mense novorum, id est, primo mense contigit. Bene ergo tempore illo ad Bethlehem veniunt, quando lex Christum quem docet in Bethlehem natum, in pascha, id est in mense novorum, prædicat occisum.

Messis hordeacea Judæorum exprimit credulitatem: qui peracto sacramento passionis, prædicantibus apostolis, primum ad fidem veniunt. Qui alibi quinque panibus hordeaceis pasti a Domino leguntur.
