Annotatio IV §.XX close: in sacrament SPIRITUALLY not corporally; Calixtus — they denied true-body presence — stop before §.XXI

Hear them: in the sacraments Christ’s Body is present — not PERSONALLY, CORPORALLY, or SENSIBLY to our body, but only in the SPIRITUAL mode of being, by power and efficacy working salvation for every believer.

Strauch need not wish for an ancient Waldensian confession — we already have part of it above (§.16), diametrically against the Lutheran sentence; Calixtus notes the Bohemian/Moravian Picards denied true-Body presence in the Eucharist. Stop before §.XXI.

Latin

Audiamus illos loquentes…: In Sacramentis verò est, inquiunt, Corpus Christi… atque hinc est ut in sacramentis profiteamur Christum esse non PERSONALITER aut CORPORALITER, sive SENSIBILITER nostris sensibus ac corpori, sed solum essendi MODO jam dicto SPIRITUALI… utrobique SPIRITUALITER, POTENTIA SCIL. SUA AC EFICACIA, HIC OPERANDO SALUTEM OMNI CREDENTI… Christus adsit in Sacramento NON CORPORALITER ac sensibiliter corpori nostro, sed MODO ESSENDI SUO SPIRITUALI… Nec est cur Ægidius Strauchius… dicat: Optandum esse ut haberemus antiquorum Waldensium genuinam Confessionem… Nam & hanc, ex parte saltem, habemus, istamque partem adduximus suprà §. 16., Lutheranæ Sententiæ è diametro adversam. Ut permotus videatur hôc ipsô B. Georgius Calixtus…: Waldenses, inquit, sive Picardos Bohemiæ & Moraviæ, præsentiam veri Corporis in Eucharistia, negasse notum est.
