Annotatio I §.II Schmidius: τὸ ῥητόν includes tropic acceptance — Matt. 16:16 and John 6:51 both literal; no Calvinist quarrel so far
Sebastian Schmidius agrees for the Supper proposition itself: the literal sense / the literal meaning is what the words immediately yield when all circumstances are weighed.
He gladly allows that the literal meaning covers not only words taken properly but also words taken tropically.
So Peter’s You are the Son of the living God (Matt. 16:16) and Christ’s I am the living bread (John 6:51) are both literal — though only the second is a trope — and thus far there is no quarrel with the Calvinists (pp. 18–19).

Cui adstipulatur, etiam quà applicationem ad propositionem S. Coenae de qua nunc quaeritur, Sebastian. Schmidius Tract. de principiis seu Fundamentis praesentiae corporis & Sanguinis Christi in S. Coena cap. 3. §. 17. Literalis sensus, seu τὸ ῥητόν, ait, est is sensus, quem verba ipsa immediatè, consideratis omnibus circumstantiis, reddunt: ubi libenter admittimus τὸ ῥητόν seu literalem sensum non tantùm esse, quem verba propriè sumta dare possunt, sed etiam quem tropicè accepta subministrant. Ut adeò literalem istum sensum, modò, verba propriè accepta, modò, verba tropicè usurpata, suggerant. Sic literalem sensum habent non tantum verba Petri, Matth. 16. vers. 16. Tu es Filius Dei viventis, sed & verba ipsius Domini Jesu, Joh. 6. vers. 51. Ego sum panis vivus; licet hic tropus sit, ibi nullus. Et hactenus inter nos & Calvinianos nihil erit controversiae, p. 18. in fin. & 19.
