A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §456 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio III §.IX close: Stillingfleet vs White before James II — Mass without Enim still latria = material idolatry; stop before §.X

Stillingfleet, disputing with Jesuit White before James II, used that to warn: standers at a Mass that omits Enim, adoring the ‘venerable,’ cannot escape even material idolatry on their own hypothesis.

By latria they would worship what — for want of enim — has not yet become Christ’s true body (Israel-in-the-desert parallel).

Stop before §.X (Transsubstantiation unworthy of Christ’s banquet; eliminate from the Church).

Latin

Id quod paucis abhinc annis Reverendiss. Stillingfleedio, coram Jacobo II. M. Britanniæ Rege, cum Jesuita White, disputanti, ansam dedit monendi, Pontificiorum alios, ab aliis celebratæ scil. cum omissione particulæ Enim, Missæ, adstantes ac venerabile, quod ajunt, adorantes, non posse, vel ex propria hypothesi, ab idololatria, saltem materiali, propriè interim dicta & Israëliticæ in deserto per omnia simili, immunes manere, cùm Latriæ Cultu prosequerentur id, quod, vitio omissæ voculæ enim, nondum in verum corpus Christi transiisset.
