A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §410

Annotatio II §.IX close (5): Determination aporiae — spiritual presence in the believer’s soul, not in bread; stop before Annotatio III

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

(5) Consubstantiation cannot settle the body’s internal quality or external condition if it is corporally in the bread — emptied or exalted? with soul or without? bloody or bloodless? whole in each species or part?

The doubt ends only if we confess the body present in the Supper supernaturally and spiritually — not in the bread, but in the soul of the true-faith eater alone.

Stop before Annotatio III.

Latin

Denique (5) Consubstantiatio adversa est Determinationi tam qualitatis internæ, quàm conditionis externæ corporis Christi, sub qua, in pane, corporaliter præsens, & olim, in prima Institutione fuisse, & modò, in omni cœnæ administratione, adhuc esse, credendum est, puta: Num exinanitum & crucifixum? an verò exaltatum & glorificatum? Num animæ rationali junctum? an verò ab hac anima separatum? Num sanguine turgidum; an verò exsangue? Num uti in pane cum sanguine, ita sanguis in vino cum corpore? Num in utraque Coenæ parte, i. e. specie utraque, tàm panis, quàm vini, totum? an pars totius? Dubio determinationis protinus, nec aliter tamen, terminando, quàm si corpus Christi præsens quidem, non tamen corporaliter, verum supernaturaliter ac spiritualiter duntaxat in Coena præsens, sed non in pane, verùm in anima solius credentis ac vera fide manducantis, confiteamur.
