A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §216 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio III §.IV: Some call this fruit-doctrine ‘Cothurnos’ and demand body-in-bread formulas — then invent inclusion, conversion, transubstantiation, ubiquity unknown to learned antiquity

Yet some brand this true, simple fruit-doctrine as Cothurnos (inflated tragic boots) and demand a yes/no: is the body in the bread, or in the species of bread — as if the sacrament were instituted for the bread and that papistic adoration.

Then they invent how to shut it into the bread; some invent Conversion, others Transubstantiation, others Ubiquity.

All these portentous inventions are unknown to learned antiquity.

Latin

Sed hanc veram & simplicem Doctrinam de fructu nominant quidam Cothurnos, & postulant dici, an sit Corpus in Pane, aut Speciebus panis, quasi verò Sacramentum propter Panem & istam Papisticam Adorationem institutum sit. Postea fingunt, quomodo includant Pani; Alii Conversionem, alii Transsubstantiationem, alii Ubiquitatem excogitarunt. Haec portentoze omnia ignota sunt eruditae Vetustati.
