Annotatio IV §.III (4): Carnal / corporal participation profits nothing — Spiritus est qui vivificat

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

(4) Carnal or corporal participation of Christ’s flesh is of no use at all (John 6:63): the Spirit quickens; the flesh profits nothing; His words are spirit and life.

Augustine and Paschasius: without the Spirit neither flesh nor sacrament profits; Lutherans admit Christ without faith harms; Brentius: Capernaite tooth-tearing profits nothing — faith’s heart-teeth do.

Latin

(4) Quia Carnalis seu Corporalis corporis aut carnis Christi Participatio nulli omnino usui esse disertè à Christo perhibetur, quando murmurantibus adhuc Discipulis & sibi durum paulò antè visum verbum nec tum quidem absque indignatione transmittentibus, ipse tandem pertinaciori obmurmurationi finem impositurus & pessulum obditurus vers. 63. respondet: Spiritus est qui vivificat, caro non prodest quicquam. Verba quæ ego loquor vobis, spiritus & vita sunt; Hisce verbis, vel binâ ratione expressa, Carnalem Præsentiam ac Participationem Carnis & Sanguinis sui suppressurus, erectis & in apricum positis solis Spiritualibus: primò quidem, dum carnem suam, non equidem per se spectatam, sed carnaliter manducandam (de qua sola hactenus disputatio, se inter & Judæos partim, partim Christianos discipulos suos, intercesserat) nihil prodesse ait, interpretante sic verba Augustino, Serm. secundô de Verbis Domini & suffragante Paschasio: Sine Spiritu S. inquit sicut nec caro Christi prodest quicquam, ita nec hoc Sacramentum Christi prodesse potest lib. 3. de Corp. & Sangv. Christi, i. e. Corpus Christi non prodest quicquam, non per se, sed per accidens & aliud, quod impedit illius Operationem, ut ipsi Lutherani, Lutherô contra Carlstadium præeunte, non possunt non fateri, quia sine fide Christus & Evangelium non tantum nihil prosunt, sed nocent, sunt odor mortis & judicium Dei accelerant. Unde Brentius in Exegesi Johannis: Verum equidem est, ait, carnem Christi comesam, quomodo Capernaitæ intellexerunt, dentibus laceratam, nihil prodesse, prodest autem plurimùm mysterio fidei & dentibus cordis accepta.
