A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §354 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio I §.V: Bucer — Luther rejected our reading as if it removed presence; nostri deny absence-sign

Bucer: Luther rejected our interpretation, so far as his writings show, because he thought it removed Christ’s presence from the Supper.

Our doctors deny that bread is a sign meaning the body is absent or not taken — and they have said so in many books.

Latin

Quòd verò Lutherus, inquit, nostrorum interpretationem rejecit, ex eo, quantum ego quidem ex scriptis ejus judicare possum, factum est, quòd praesentiam Christi per eam in Coena tolli & removeri fuit arbitratus. Nostri vero panem ejusmodi signum corporis Christi nequaquam esse dicunt, per quod corpus Christi abesse vel non sumi denotetur, id quod multis scriptis editis hactenus notum fecerunt.
