A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §357 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio I §.V: Hoc pacto the controversy vanishes — tropus that keeps presence vs tropus that ejects it

On that pact the whole controversy ceases and vanishes.

The Reformed defend a tropus that will not let Christ’s body be absent from the Supper — still less make it so; the Lutherans fight a tropus that is less shy about moving the body out and stripping presence from the meal.

Latin

Hoc verò pacto Controversia tota cessat omnino & evanescit, Reformatis tropum quidem defendentibus, sed qui corpus Christi Coenâ abesse haud patitur, nedum facit; Lutheranis verò tropo adversantibus, qui corpus Christi Coenâ movere ejusque praesentiam ex ea tollere minus verecundatur.
