A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §676

Annotatio V §.XI close: Jn 6:54 spiritual souls’ eating; stop before §.XII Lutheran testimonia

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

Near §.XIX’s end the Author asks how flesh stays incorrupt if fed by the Lord’s body and blood as by the tree of life — stacking petitio principii on Ignoratio Elenchi.

The real cause, from Christ’s mouth, is not corporal eating but Spiritual eating of souls alone (Jn 6:54: eat my Flesh, drink my blood — eternal life as to the body; I will raise him). Stop §.XI before §.XII.

Latin

Quomodo enim (quærit Autor circa finem Paragraphi XIX, Elenchi Ignorationem petitione principii adaucturus) incorruptio maneat caro, quæ à corpore Domini & sanguine, velut ab arbore vitæ, alitur & sustentatur? Quodsi verò Auctor genuinam causam Incorruptibilitatis corporum eorum, quæ dignè Eucharistiam perceperunt, & unde resurrectionis spem indepta sint, cognoscere cupit, ex ipsius Christi ore istud intelligat, non corporalem corporis Christi Manducationem, eam esse, sed Spiritualem Animarum, de qua, & quidem sola, ex hypothesi Autoris, ita Christus Joh. 6. Qui manducat Carnem meam & bibit sanguinem meum, hoc ipso habet vitam æternam, putà quà corpus, non quà animam, namque suscitabo eum in die novissimo, vers. 54.
