Annotatio I §.IV (3): Many Lutherans concede tropic speech — Marbachius vs Pezelius

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

(3.) Not a few Lutherans concede tropic speech in genus, or metonymy / synecdoche in species.

Marbachius against Pezelius allows that This is my body does not shut out every figure — only the kind that forces us off each word’s proper signification.

On that the Reformed easily rest, pressing tropic locution while caring less whether the trope sits in the words or in the predication.

Latin

(3.) LUTHERANI NON PAUCI, partim eorum, qui tropicam in genere, eorum partim, qui vel Metonymicam, vel Synechdochicam in specie, concedunt. Ex prioribus memoramus Marbachium contra Pezelium, p. 36. disertis verbis passum, in propositione: Hoc est corpus meum, non in universum omnem figuratam locutionem excludi, sed eam tantùm, quae à propria singularum vocum significatione nos cogit deflectere; In qua Marbachii determinatione facilè acquieverint Reformati, tropicam duntaxat locutionem urgentes, modum ejus non ita, sed promiscuè potiùs habentes, tropus ne in verbis, vel in praedicatione, collocetur.
