A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §213

Annotatio III §.III close: Fathers on earthly and heavenly Eucharist — substance remains; later ‘bread changed like Moses’ staff’ phrases — Crocius; stop before §.IV

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Irenaeus says the Eucharist consists of two things, earthly and heavenly; Epiphanius and Theodoret clearly say the nature and substance remain, yet with the bread gifts are given — namely Christ’s body and blood.

Later new phrases came in: that the bread is changed, as Moses’ staff was changed into a serpent (Crocius on the Augsburg Confession, p. 204).

Stop before §. IV.

Latin

Irenaeus inquit: Eucharistia constat duabus rebus, Terrena & Coelesti, & Epiphanius ac Theodoretus clarè dicunt, quod natura & substantia maneat, & quod tamen cum Pane dona nobis dentur, videlicet Corpus & sanguis Christi. Postea nova locutiones introductae sunt: Panem mutari, sicut Baculus Mosis mutabatur in Serpentem. Crocius Comment. in August. Confess. pag. 204.
