A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §347 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio I §.IV IMPLICITE Lutheran: Luther’s duplex — in/cum/sub hoc pane (Schwärmer sermon)

The better-known Lutheran reading of This is my body is twofold.

Luther’s: This / this bread is my body means in, with, and under this bread is my body (Wittenberg Tom. II vs the Fanatics, p. 98).

Let the Schwärmer go — his nickname for those not ὁμοψῆφος with him on the sacrament — and stay with the words as they sound: IN THE BREAD Christ’s body, IN THE WINE His blood truly.

Latin

LUTHERANORUM famosior propositionis interpretatio duplex est. Altera Lutheri: Hoc, seu hic panis, est corpus meum, i. e. in, cum & sub hoc pane est corpus meum, Tom. II. Witteberg. sermone contra Fanaticos pag. 98. Laß sie / die Schwärmer / (ita suo more cognominat eos quos non habet in controversia sacramentaria ὁμοψήφους) fabren / und laß uns bey den Worten bleiben wie sie lauten: Daß IM BROD der Leib Christi und IM WEIN warhafftig sein Blut sey.
