Annotatio V §.XII (1): Calixtus Senior — authority stands; Jud. Controv. n.76 union
(1) Calixtus Senior: the Author only tries to shrink his authority; among moderate antiquity-minded readers it still stands — even if not infallible, and not mainly because he beckons Papists and Reformed into one church society without Dort anathemas on Lutheran dogmas.
Add also Calixtus’s point (Jud. Controv. N.76): Protestant split over Oral does not block union — Reformed who eat spiritually also eat orally if Oral truth hangs on the institution’s will, not the eaters’ opinion.
Latin
(1.) CALIXTI Senioris, cujus Viri Autoritatem dumtaxat imminuere satagit, apud omnes interim bonos moderatosque, antiquitatis item Ecclesiasticæ studiosos, perduraturam, etiamsi non infallibilis, nec à nobis, istô potissimum nomine, habenda sit, quòd Pontificios non minus, salvô licet Tridentino Concilio, Protestantica multa anathematizante, quàm Reformatos, salva horum Synodo Dordracenâ, dogmata quædam Lutherana obliquè quidem & per latus Arminianorum improbante, nullo verò anathemate feriente, in unius Ecclesiæ Christianæ Societatem advocat. Testimonio intereà hujus Viri contra Fundamentalitatem Oralis Manducationis inconcusso persistenti superaddendum & illud est, quô idem dissidium de ea Protestanticum, Unioni Protestantium Ecclesiasticæ nihil quicquam officere posse, inde probat, quòd Spiritualiter Corpus Christi manducantes Reformati, non minus Oraliter id manducent, quàm ipsi Lutherani, cùm Oralis Manducationis veritas, non à Manducantium Opinione, sed à Voluntate Institutionis Cœnæ, dependeat. Jud. de Controver. n. 76.
