A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §607 · Samuel Strimesius

Annotatio IV §.XXII open: Reformeds’ dual exposition of spiritual presence — in the body itself vs in the mode

§.XXII: all the Reformed seriously confess the most real presence of Christ’s body and blood in the Supper — in a Spiritual mode.

Yet after the old Doctors they expound that spiritual presence under a light difference in a double way: some put SPIRITUALITY in the body and blood themselves present; others rather in the mode of their presence.

Latin

§. XXII. Interim annotandum operæ pretium ducimus, Reformatos realissimam corporis & sanguinis Christi in S. Cœna præsentiam, Spirituali scil. modo factam, ad unum omnes seriò totôque pectore credentes ac profitentes, Spiritualem tamen præsentiam hanc, ad exemplum Veterum Ecclesiæ Doctorum, non uno eodemque simpliciter, sed sub levi quodam discrimine, Modô admodùm duplici, exponere consuevisse, ita quidem, ut alii hîc SPIRITUALITATEM in ipso Christi corpore & sanguine, in Cœna omnino præsentibus; alii in præsentiæ horum modo potiùs, quæsiverint locaverintve.
