Annotatio V §.II: Picherellus summons Augustine — two things in the sacrament, diverse modes of eating

For this whole point the sober pontifical author Petrus Picherellus (often cited) brings Augustine in summary — Opusc. Theol. Pp. 176–178.

Augustine, seeing two things in the Supper’s sacrament, makes diverse modes of eating and explains them by antithesis across Matthew and many other places.

Latin

Totius hujus nomine, Augustinum in compendio introducit pontificius quidam, ast sobrius Autor moderatusque, sæpius citatus Petrus Picherellus, cujus verba hîc recensuisse nemini ingratum accidere poterit; ita verò ille, Opusc. Theol. p. 176. in fine usque ad p. 178. in med. Augustinus profecto, ait, duas illas res in Cœnæ sacramento intelligens, diversos illius manducandi modos facit, de verbis Domini in Evangelium secundum Matth. & multis aliis locis, passim per antithesin explicat.
