notes 3–5, chapter ii<br />

3. Ap. F.C. 154B, “Da Sakrament der Beschneidung und Osterlamb sagen oder haben gar<br />

nichts uberall von der waren Gegenwertigkeit und Austeilung des Leibes und Elutes<br />

Christi/ als die dazumal auch noch nicht gewesen/ s<strong>in</strong>temal Christus zu der Zeit noch<br />

nicht warer Mensch empfangen und geboren gewest: Wie sollte dann aus den Reden/ <strong>in</strong><br />

welchen dieselben Sacramenta beschrieben/ mit Grundt und Warheit konnen geschlossen<br />

werden/ was <strong>in</strong> H. Abendmal von Christo ex speciali quadam ord<strong>in</strong>atione is e<strong>in</strong>gesetzt und<br />

gestiftet worden.”<br />

5. For example, Bente (Hist. Int. Trig., 179), writ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> Saliger (Beatus), says that Saliger<br />

taught that “<strong>in</strong> virtue <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> consecration before <strong>the</strong> use (ante usum) bread and w<strong>in</strong>e are<br />

<strong>the</strong> body and blood <strong>of</strong> Christ, denounc<strong>in</strong>g all who denied this as Sacramentarians.” From<br />

<strong>the</strong>se words it appears that Bente has omitted <strong>the</strong> consecration from <strong>the</strong> div<strong>in</strong>ely <strong>in</strong>stituted<br />

action and restricted it to <strong>the</strong> distribution and consumption, a concept foreign not only to<br />

<strong>Chemnitz</strong>, but also to Lu<strong>the</strong>r and <strong>the</strong> Formula.
