A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §480

Annotatio III §.XI close: Translocation / Transfiguration, not Transsubstantiation — ask for Vicesubstantiation; stop before Annotatio IV

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

So where is the Trans? This is translocation (body from heaven into bread’s place) and transfiguration (holy body under the fugitive bread’s leftover figure) — not Transsubstantiation.

Ask the Roman correctors to fix Autun’s misnomer: if error must breed error, start from another letter and call it Vicesubstantiation.

Stop before Annotatio IV (true Eucharistic sentence through the ages).

Latin

Cui igitur Substantia, aut unde suum Trans? Qua heic Transsubstantiatio est? Translocatio quidem ista est; Succedere enim volunt Corpus de Cælo in Locum Substantiæ Panis; Et Transfiguratio est; Submittere enim se aiunt Sanctum Corpus Figuræ, quam profugus Panis in Speciebus suis (satis inclementer post se relictis) gesserat. Sed ecquid est aliud? Rogandi igitur sunt Romani Correctores, ut & Augustodunensem istam ἀκυρολογίαν corrigere jam velint, & (si fatalis necessitas sic ferat, Error Errori Errorem ut semper pariat, atque Prodigium Dogmatis & nominis stribiligine æternum insigniatur,) ut ab altera porrò literula orsi, appellari hanc nunc jubeant, pro Transsubstantiatione, Vicesubstantiationem.
