A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §483

Annotatio IV §.I: Institution propositions include a trope — not one that eliminates body and blood

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

Those words (bread taken, blessed, broken, given; cup blessed and offered) do include a trope as full propositions — Annotatio I’s reasons; even Lutherans must admit it, a few explicitly, all implicitly.

But no Orthodox — Lutheran or Reformed — will say the trope is the kind that eliminates Christ’s body and blood from the Sacred Supper.

Latin

Hæc enim verba Christi de pane ab eo accepto, benedicto, fracto, sicque discipulis suis dando, de calice item benedicto similiter, discipulisque porrigendo, enunciata, etsi ob expositas Annotatione Ima rationes, quatenus propositionem plenam ac integram absolvunt, Tropum includant eòque propositiones figuratæ dicendæ sint, non inficiatis omnino vel ipsis Lutheranis, quin paucioribus quidem explicitè, implicitè omnibus idem ipsum admittere necesse habentibus, tamen talem tropum minimè omnium continere eòque sensu figuratas constituere propositiones à quoquam Orthodoxorum, Lutheranorum pariter ac Reformatorum perhibebuntur, quæ corpus & sanguinem Christi Cœnâ S. eliminant.
