Annotatio VI §.II close: Epitome samples (faith/works, Supper, humanity’s capacity) — stop before §.III
That faith does not justify without good works (i.e. Solitary faith does not justify); that good works are necessary to salvation; that faith in Christ is not lost and the Spirit still dwells even when someone sins knowingly in act only.
That Christ’s body is not taken corporeally with the bread but only bread and wine by mouth, the body spiritually by faith; that the faithful must look to heaven rather than seek the body in the supper elements; that unbelieving communicants receive only bread and wine.
That Christ according to the humanity is incapable of divine omnipotence and the other infinite properties; that the greatest power given to His humanity still has no communication with God’s omnipotence (Epitome antitheses to Arts. 3–4, 7–8).
Stop before §. III (if Lutherans dropped this acerbic mode / swapped damnations for bare rejections, the door to fraternity would stand open).
Latin

Fidem in Christum non amitti, & Spiritum S. nihilominus in homine habitare, etiamsi sciens volens (puta actu duntaxat, non habitu, & semiplenâ voluntate) peccet homo. Ibidem, Ant. 3.

Infideles & impaenitentes Christianos in Coena Domini, non verum Corpus & Sanguinem Christi, sed Panem tantum & vinum sumere. Antit. 16. p. m. 575. Christum secundum Humanitatem (eóque finitam Naturam) Omnipotentiae, aliarumque Proprietatum Divinae Naturae (eóque Infinitarum), prorsus non esse capacem. Christo, item, secundum humanitatem, datam quidem maximam potestatem in Coelo & in Terra, videlicet majorem & ampliorem, quàm omnes Angeli & Creaturae acceperunt, sed tamen cum Omnipotentia Dei nullam habere communicationem, neg. Omnipotentiam divinam illi (h. e. humanae Naturae) datam esse, Antit. 15. & 16. ad Art. 8. p. m. 582.
