A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §582

Annotatio IV §.XVII close: not corporal under species but SPIRITUALLY; receive not sacrifice — stop before §.XVIII

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

Christ is not said to exist under the species — not in, from, or with the bread — not there corporally by natural abiding, but SPIRITUALLY, powerfully, blessedly, in truth, dwelling in His people’s hearts.

Only those inwardly vivified by His Spirit receive Christ in the Sacraments; body and blood are to be perceived by the Faithful — not sacrificed, elevated for veneration, or carried about. Stop before §.XVIII.

Latin

Nihilo magis dici Christum sub speciebus existere, neque in pane, neque ex pane, neque cum pane. Non ibi esse Christum in corpore, naturali mansione, existenter & corporaliter, sed SPIRITUALITER, potenter, benedictè, in veritate; Secundum quam mansionem non aberit, neque abiturus sit à suis, in quorum cordibus habitat. Eos proinde solos, non alios CHRISTUM in Sacramentis recipere, qui intrinsècùs ejus spiritu vivificati sunt. Cæterum, corpus & sanguinem Christi à Fidelibus percipi debere, non autem sacrificari, aut venerationis causa, attolli, aut circumferri, pag. 1650.
