A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §705

Annotatio VI §.III close: Bernard — res sacramenti only for the worthy; stop before §.IV

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

Bernard agrees: the worthy receive the sacrament unto life; the unworthy unto judgment and death.

No one perceives the Thing (res) of the sacrament unless worthy and fit — sacrament without the Thing is death; the Thing, even apart from the sacrament, is eternal life. Stop §.III before §.IV (patristic metonymy).

Latin

Utrique verò adstipulatus Bernardus, Epist. ad fratres de Monte: Sacramentum sicut ad vitam accipit dignus, sic ad judicium & mortem suam indignus. Rem enim Sacramenti nemo percipit, nisi dignus & Idoneus. Sacramentum enim sine re mors est; Res autem sacramenti, etiam præter sacramentum, sumenti, est vita æterna.
