Annotatio V §.IV FIRST genus (1): merely spiritual food cannot be mouthed corporally — Mt 15:17; stomach/latrine
FIRST genus (1): the Body in the Supper is merely spiritual food for the soul — not corporal food for the body (though soul-nourishment overflows to the whole man after resurrection).
A merely spiritual food cannot be mouthed corporally without becoming corporal food that goes to the belly (Matt. 15:17; 1 Cor. 6:13). Pontiffs agree it reaches the stomach; Christ’s own latrine-clause they vainly shove onto Stercoranists.
Latin
Ad PRIMUM Argumentorum GENUS pertinet. (1) Corpus Christi in Cœna S. manducandum, esse Cibum merè Spiritualem, non Corporalem, solius Animæ, non Corporis, in animæ tantùm, non Corporis etiam alimoniam cessurum, etiamsi per alimoniam hanc animæ, in Corpus quoque, ob arctissimam cum anima Unionem, eóque in totum hominem, utilitas eximia, per & post resurrectionem à mortuis se exsertura, redundet; At Cibus merè spiritualis, Corporaliter, etiam quà Os tantùm, manducari, i. e. Ori imponi, nequit, quin hôc ipsô, si Cibus sit, evadat Cibus Corporalis, Cibus verò Corporalis Ore receptus, nec eôdem emissus, denique abit in ventrem, cibus sic ex toto Corporalis evasurus; Quicquid intrat in os, abit in Ventrem, Matth. 15, 17. Esca Ventri & Venter escis, 1. Cor. 6, 13. Consentiunt hactenus Pontificii, Corpus Christi, ex pane transmutatum, eô ipsô quòd manducatur, non in os tantùm, sed & in ventrem seu stomachum recipi. Porrò ventre receptus cibus, in secessum ex parte emittitur, juxta aliud, quod Matth. 15, 17. additur à Christo: Nondum intelligitis, quicquid intruditur in Os, in Ventrem ingredi & in latrinam ejici. Consequentiam abnuentibus quidem Pontificiis postremam, & Stercoranistis hæreticis imputantibus, sed frustrà, utpote ab ipso Christo nexam.
