A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §606

Annotatio IV §.XXI close: prayers and after-warning — Spirit feeds souls with Lord’s body and blood — stop before next §

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

After the prayers, communicants are warned: do not cling to outward bread and wine; ground heart and faith on the Word of Promise.

Doubt not that by the Spirit’s working we are as truly fed and given drink at our souls with the Lord’s Body and Blood as we receive the holy bread and cup in His remembrance. Stop before the next § (spiritual-presence modes digression).

Latin

Denique, post preces finitas, quando Communicantes in universum omnes graviter monemur: Daß wir mit unseren Herzen nicht an dem äusserlichen Brodt und Wein hafften sollen; Sondern unsere Herzen und Glauben gründen auff das Wort der Verheissung: Und nicht zweiffeln / daß wir so warhafftig / durch die Wirckung des Heiligen Geistes / mit des HERRN Leib und Blut / an unseren Seelen, gespeiset und getränket werden / als wir das heilige Brodt und Tranck zu seiner Gedächtniß empfangen. i. e. ne cordibus nostris animisque pani & vino, externis symbolis adhærescamus, sed mentes Fidemque in Verbis Promissionis defixas habeamus, nulli dubitantes, nos non minus verè, per operationem Spiritûs S. ipsissimo Domini Salvatoris corpore & sanguine, quà animas nostras, escari potarique, quàm panem consecratum potumque in commemorationem Christi accipimus.
