§.XXIV: proven to the eye — the true most-real presence of Christ’s body and blood in the Supper is the Spiritual presence the Reformed Church has always taught and still teaches.

It runs from Christ the Institutor through the Christian centuries into the Reformed by succession; and with Cosin (Durham) Strimesius has already professed it as antecedent to faith / spiritual eating (Kurzer Entwurff p. 64).

Latin

§. XXIV. Probatum sic ad oculum est, præsentiam corporis & sanguinis Christi in Cœna veram & realissimam, i. e. Spiritualem, à Reformata Ecclesia edoctam semper esse atque hodienum edoceri, ab ipso Cœnæ Sacræ Institutore Christo, per omnem seculorum Christianorum decursum, uti in aliis Ecclesiis sotam conservatamque, sic ad Ecclesiam Reformatam successionis ordine, derivatam; quam insuper, Fidei, seu manducationi spirituali antecedaneam, cum COSINO Episcopo Dunelmensi ipsimet professi sumus in Tractatulo Germanico Kurzer Entwurff. p. 64.
