Annotatio III §.III: Later year — they also agree a Sacred Supper Formula (summary at p. 335): teach per Augsburg Confession that Christ is truly, vivifically, and substantially present

In the later year, after comparing reasons, they also agree on a Formula for the Sacred Supper (our author summarizes it at p. 335).

On this article, they say, our churches must teach according to the Augsburg Confession: in the Lord’s ordinance of the Sacred Supper, Christ is truly, vivifically, and substantially present.

With the bread and wine he has so ordained, he exhibits his body and blood for Christians to eat and drink, testifies that we are his members, gives himself with the promise of grace, and works efficaciously in us — as Hilary says: what is taken and drunk makes Christ to be in us and us in him.

Latin

POSTERIORI ANNO, collatis rationibus, in hanc de Sacra Coena quoque Formulam (cujus summarium Autor quoque noster pagina 335. recitat) consentiunt: De hoc Articulo, inquiunt, in Ecclesiis nostris doceri debet juxta Augustanam Confessionem, nempe quod in hac Domini nostri Jesu Christi Ordinatione Sacrae Coenae, vere, vivificè & Substantialiter Christus praesens sit, & cum pane & vino sic ab ipso ordinatis, Corpus & Sanguinem suum manducandum & bibendum nobis Christianis exhibeat, atque testetur, quod ipsius membra simus, & quòd se ipsum una cum promissione Gratiae nobis donet, & quod in nobis sit efficax & operetur, quemadmodum Hilarius inquit: Haec sumta & hausta, faciunt, ut Christus sit in nobis & nos in ipso.
