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

Augustine (2): the figure does not remove true presence or participation — Christians celebrate with sacrosanct oblation and participation of Body and blood (Against Faustus 20.18).

(3) Presence and participation are spiritual: understand spiritually; the sacrament understood spiritually quickens (Ps. 98). Tract. 25 John: Why prepare teeth and belly? Believe, and you have eaten.

Latin

(2) Figuratam interim Christi locutionem, veram corporis ejus in Cœna S., vel præsentiam, vel participationem, neutiquam è medio tollere dicit: Jam, ait Augustinus, Christiani, peracti sacrificii memoriam, celebrant, sacrosanctâ oblatione & participatione Corporis & sanguinis Christi, Lib. 20. contra Faustum cap. 18. confer. cap. 21. At verò (3.) Præsentiam atque participationem Corporis Christi in Cœna, Spirituales facit: Spiritualiter inquit, intelligite quæ locutus sum (Christum hic loquentem introducens); Nam hoc Corpus, quod videtis, manducaturi estis & bibituri illum sanguinem, quem fusuri sunt, qui me crucifigent, Sacramentum vobis aliquod commendavi, SPIRITUALITER intellectum vivificabit vos in Psalm. 98. Item Tractatu 25. in Johannem: Ut quid paras dentes & Ventrem: Crede & manducasti.
