Annotatio VI §.VIII: convert conditional to absolute — Reformati do believe substantial presence
Convert their conditional — “if the Reformed really believed substantial presence, controversy would shrink and the rest would compose easier” — into the absolute charity demands (1 Cor 13).
The Reformed beyond doubt believe what they say: body and blood truly and substantially present — so the main moment of controversy is gone, and the way to lesser remaining heads is open.
Latin
Et Propositionem hanc suam Conditionatam: Si reverà hoc crederent, quod se credere simulant Reformati, nempe Corpus & sanguinem Christi, verè & Substantialiter adesse in S. Cœna, non modo plurimum decessurum esse momento Controversiæ, sed & munitum iri aditum ad ea quæ restant capita facilius componenda, in hanc absolutam & categoricam convertant, quam vel charitas Christiana, per omnia propemodum attributa sua essentialia, Apostolo 1. Cor. XIII. descripta, ab iis efflagitat: Reformati credunt proculdubio, quod credere se dicunt, nempe corpus & sanguinem Christi verè & substantialiter adesse in Sacra Cœna, sicque non modo deest omne momentum Controversiæ, sed & munitus aditus ad ea quæ restant pauciora minoraque inter Evangelicos capita facilius componenda.
