A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §435 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio III §.VI: Ego Berengarius — sensualiter handled, broken, worn by the faithful’s teeth (Gratian)

Ego Berengarius: after consecration the altar bread and wine are not only sacrament/symbol/figure but the true body and blood.

And SENSUALLY — in truth, not only in sacrament — priests’ hands handle and break them, and the faithful’s teeth wear them (Gratian De Consecr. Dist. 2 c. 42).

Latin

Ego Berengarius consentio S. Romanæ & Apostolicæ sedi & ore ac corde profiteor, de Sacramento Dominicæ mensæ eam fidem me tenere, quam Dominus & venerabilis Papa Nicolaus & hæc sacra Synodus Autoritate Evangelica & Apostolica tenendam tradidit mihique firmavit: panem scil. & vinum quæ in altari ponuntur post consecrationem non solummodo sacramentum, symbolum, sive figuram, sed etiam verum corpus & sanguinem Domini nostri Jesu Christi esse & SENSUALITER non solum sacramento, sed veritate manibus sacerdotum tractari, frangi & FIDELIUM DENTIBUS ATTERI, apud Gratianum de Consecr. dist. 2. c. 42.
