Annotatio I §.II open: First prior Supper controversy — Institution words Hoc est corpus meum needlessly split in two
§. II. Of the earlier Protestant Supper controversies, the first is how to read the definitive Institution words: This is my body.
One party has needlessly torn that question in two: whether literally / κατὰ the literal meaning, and whether the propositions This is my body / This is my Blood are taken properly or improperly.
Latin
§. II.
Inter priores de S. Coena Controversias Protestanticæs, prima omnium est de Interpretatione verborum Institutionis Coenae horisticorum seu definitivorum: Hoc est corpus meum: Quae ut tanto amplior pinguiorque appareret, ab altera Protestantium parte in duas nequicquam discerpta est, quarum priori quaeritur: Num literaliter vel κατὰ τὸ ῥητόν? Posteriori: Num propriè, an verò impropriè verba S. Coenae, vel potiùs propositiones: Hoc est corpus meum, & Hic est Sanguis meus, capiendae sint.
