Annotatio V §.III close: Neoterici make Oral fundamental; Tertullian twist; Mayer on Spener — stop before §.IV
§.III close: many Lutheran modernists (a Wittenberger among them) fight not only for the triple’s truth but for Oral’s necessity and fundamentality to Christian faith — branding deniers of Oral (even with spiritual emphasis) as fundamental dissenters...
The Oral claim is unheard in Scripture and the primitive Church, and is twisted from one partly rhetorical Tertullian line (Bajer, Compend. P. 586); Mayer hints Spener is rightly called our age’s Tertullian (Bibl. Theol. Mor. P. 27). Stop before §.IV.

Quin Neoterici Lutheranorum plurimi, hosque inter Wittebergensis quidam, non pro veritate duntaxat Trigæ manducationis, sed & pro necessitate ejusdem ad salutem, certè pro Fundamentalitate Oralis Corporis Christi Manducationis, in relatione ad fidem Christianam, graviter depugnant, fundamentaliter à se pariter atque à fide Christiana dissidere, clamitando, quotquot Oralem Corporis Christi Manducationem, Supernaturali licèt Spiritualique enixissimè adstructa, inficiantur, utut in Scriptura & primitiva Ecclesia prorsus inauditam, & nonnisi ex unius Tertulliani dictione hac, partim obscura, partim æquivoca, partim denique Rhetorica: (Caro, Corpore & sanguine Christi vescitur, ut & anima de Deo saginetur.
