A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §706

Annotatio VI §.IV open: Fathers seem to give Indigni partaking — via metonymy

§.IV: the Fathers sometimes seem to teach that even the unworthy partake Christ’s body.

That appearance comes from metonymy — they often call the sacrament or the Lord’s bread “Christ’s body,” following Christ’s own speech.

Latin

§. IV. Equidem videntur quandoque Patres opinari, etiam indignos corporis Christi fieri participes, sed id inde evenit, quòd metonymicè loquuntur Patres, Sacramentum corporis Christi, seu panem Domini, ad exemplum Christi ipsius, corpus Christi haud rarò nuncupantes.
