Annotatio IV §.XIII: Bertram (1) — Institution words improper; bread and wine exist FIGURATE; memory of Passion
Bertram (1): Institution words are improper — bread and wine exist FIGURATIVELY as Christ’s body and blood.
Named body and blood, they represent the memory of the Lord’s Passion; set on the altar in the FIGURE or memory of His death, so present memory of what was done may make us partakers of the divine gift.
Latin
Ac (1) quidem, verborum Institutionis Christi improprietatem edocturus Bertramus: Panis vinumque, ait ille, FIGURATE Christi corpus & sanguis existunt. Itemque: Iste panis & calix, qui corpus & sanguis Christi nominantur, memoriam representant Dominicæ Passionis sive mortis, quemadmodum ipse in Evangelio dixit: Hoc facite in meam commemorationem. Quod exponens Apostolus Paulus ait: quotiescunque manducaveritis panem & calicem biberitis, mortem Domini annunciabitis, donec veniat. Docemur à Salvatore nec non à S. Paulo Apostolo, quod iste panis & iste sanguis, qui super altare ponuntur, in FIGURAM sive memoriam Dominicæ mortis ponuntur, ut quod gestum est in præterito, præsenti revocet memoria, ut illius passionis memores effecti, per eam efficiamur divini muneris consortes, per quam sumus à morte liberati.
