Unless confessing presence by faith empties the Supper; or Christ’s body cannot be present by faith though the whole Christ dwells in our hearts by faith; or faith-presence is empty imagination (the Author’s pen nearly blaspheming) so that faith itself becomes empty fiction.

Or unless he who sets Christ’s flesh most present by faith denies the body is already present in the Supper as faith’s object before faith is exerted, and as present is offered to faith — see German Tractate §.XV p.64. Stop §.X before §.XI.

Latin

Nisi fortè qui hoc fatetur, Cœnam S. evacuèt; aut non possit Christi corpus per fidem præsens esse, cùm tamen totus Christus per fidem in cordibus nostris habitet; aut præsentia corporis per fidem, sit merè imaginaria & inane commentum (uti calamus Autoris mentem fortè ejus præcurrens, tantum non blasphemat) perque consequens, fides mera Imaginatio & inane Commentum sit; aut denique, qui per fidem, carnem Christi præsentissimam statuit, hic ipse neget, corpus Christi, ceu objectum fidei, in Cœna, etiam jam ante fidem exsertam, in eadem præsens esse, atque prout præsens est, fidei offerri ac exhiberi. Vid. Tractat. meum Germ. §. XV. pag. 64.
