A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §465

Annotatio III §.X (3)(b): Instituted praxis — cup as well as bread; Mass/Transsubstantiation snatches the cup from the laity

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

(3)(b) Instituted praxis from Christ binds every communicant to the cup and wine no less than to the bread.

Mass and Transsubstantiation’s rationale snatch that cup from all the laity — so it also hits the second table, withdrawing from the neighbor what Christ ordered by ‘Do this.’

Latin

(b) Praxi Institutæ, quatenus hæc à Christo immediatè originem trahit, quâque non minùs ad Calicis vinique, quam panis usum, singulos Communicantes obstringit, per Missam interim & Transsubstantiationis rationem, Laicis cunctis eripiendum. Hoc pacto Transsubstantiatio etiam in posteriorem Divinæ Legis Tabulam impingit, Proximo id subducens, quod illi tribuendum expresso Christus mandato voluit per τὸ: Hoc facite, S. Coenam administraturis id omne designandum injungens, quod ipse administrans designaverat.
