Annotatio III §.III close: Four reasons Fathers meant moral / σχετική mutation; Dunelm; stop before §.IV vera causa
Four proofs Fathers meant no mutation beyond that: (1) consecrated breads remain what they were; (2) they are still called signs/figures/symbols/types — so conversion into Christ’s body is implicitly denied (Johnston).
(3) Same terms describe the faithful’s union with Christ by due Eucharist use; (4) same terms on other things no one takes as substantial conversion — Dunelm on that metabole vocabulary.
Stop before §.IV vera causa (idolatry and tyranny of Papism).
Latin
A Patribus interim nullam extra dictam Mutationem intellectam fuisse, probant, præter cætera, rationes hæ quatuor: (1) quòd expressè Patres docent, idque constantissimè, panes Eucharisticos post consecrationem manere semper idem, quòd ante fuerant. (2) quòd identidem panes post Consecrationem, Signa, Figuras, Symbola, Icones seu imagines, Typos, Antitypos, Similitudines, Metaphoras, Formas, Census, Species, appellant, sicque implicitè eorum versionem in corpus Christi inficiantur. Utramque rationem pluribus Patrum testimoniis confirmatam vide apud Jonston. citato tract. cap. 3. à pag. 82. ad 100. (3) quòd iisdem terminis utuntur Patres, quando fidelium cum Christo Unionem, per Sacræ Eucharistiæ usum debitum, describunt, probante ibidem eodem Jonstono cap. 5. à pag. 216. ad 225. (4) quòd adhuc terminos eosdem adhibent de aliis rebus variis locuti, quibus Conversionem Substantialem adscripsisse eos, nemini in mentem venerit. Pertinent huc verba Joh. Dunelmensis Histor. Transsubst. Papalis: Quid quod ipsi, inquit, Patres has easdem μεταβολῆς μεταποιήσεως & μεταστοιχείωσεως voces usurpant, cùm de Rebus aliis loquuntur, quæ substantiam suam, minimè vel amittunt vel mutant?
