A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §516

Annotatio IV §.VI close: Irenaeus Lib. 5 — nourished by creature, not natural body; stop before §.VII

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Irenaeus Adv. Haer. 5.12: as wheat falls, dissolves, and rises manifold into Eucharist (body and blood of Christ), so faithful bodies nourished from it shall rise. We are nourished by the Creature He supplies — cup and bread as creature confirmed as His blood and Body.

When cup and bread receive God’s word there is made the Eucharist of His blood and body — not the blood and body themselves — from which our flesh’s substance increases. To say our bodies grow from Christ’s natural incorruptible body would be absurd and blasphemous.

Stop before §.VII (third century: Tertullian).

Latin

Ita enim iterum Irenæus Lib. 5. contra Hæret. cap. 12. pergit: Quemadmodum granum tritici, decidens in terram & dissolutum, multiplex surgit, & percipiens verbum Dei fit Eucharistia; (quod est corpus & sanguis Christi); Sic & nostra, scil. fidelium, corpora, ex eo nutrita, & reposita in terram ac resoluta, resurgent (scil. cum gaudio) in suo tempore. Quin, ne quis sibi imaginetur, sanctissimum Patrem opinari, corpora nostra corpore Christi nutriri, non verò pane Eucharistico potius ab omni usu communi sejuncto, addit paulò post: Per Creaturam nutrimur, Creaturam autem ipse nobis præstat; Cùm Calicem, qui est creatura, suum sanguinem, & eum panem, qui est creatura, suum Corpus confirmavit. Quando ergo Calix & panis percipiunt verbum Dei, fit Eucharistia sanguinis & corporis Christi (non ipse sanguis & corpus Christi) ex quibus (calice scil. & pane) augetur & consistit carnis nostræ substantia. Quandoquidem non sine magna absurditate impietateque diceretur, ex naturali Christi corpore & sanguine, nostra corpora augeri ac consistere; cùm nihil corpus nostrum naturaliter augere possit, nisi quod per alterationem in carnem nostram & sanguinem convertitur, quod de corpore Christi incorruptibili affirmare blasphemum est.
