XXII. Prolectio pro^ihetiae in veteri Testamento invalescehat
But the wing that is on his back tilts toward the left side and not the right, because it has great strength as the protection of prophetic admonition, laboring in the unfolding of its secrets and in the integrity of its words, providing the entire defense of the Old Testament, since prophecy and the Law are one, and they provided carnal things for those who live according to the flesh, nor did they intend the right side of spiritual things, because he had not yet come who would promise the rewards of heaven.
Read the original Latin
Ala autem quae in dorso ipsius est, in summitate extremitatis suae ex inte* gro ad alam sinistram, et non ad alam dextram se declinat, quia protectio propheticae admonitionis magnam fortitudinem habens, in protelatione secretorum suonim et in integritate verborum suorum, totam defensionem veteris Testamenti insudabat, quoniam prophetia et Lex unum sunt, et carnaliter viventibus carnalia providebant, nec dextram spiritualium intendebant, quia ille nondum venerat qui praemia coelestium promittebat.
