Ternio sacrorum theorematum, de uno Deo, de uno mediatore, et de Iesu, qui est Christus

6:51. But who would doubt that it was given for the Fathers as well, and consequently communicated to them? For those for whom it was given, for them it was and is given to be nourished.

3. That this Flesh is that Bread of life which descended from heaven, so that he who eats of it may not die, but live forever. John 6:48, 50, 51. But the Fathers live, and are going to live to God forever. Matt. 22:32.

4. That the same Flesh was represented to the Fathers in the wrapping of the Evangelical promise by God (to whom all things are present, and who calls those things which are not as though they were, Rom. 4:17; whose judgment, not the intelligence of the flesh, which only looks at corporal presence, is what we must stand by), sealed by the Sacraments, and perceived by the Fathers through FAITH, which is the hypostasis substance making the things which are hoped for to exist, and is the proof of those things which are not seen. Heb. 11:1.

Glory be to the Lord JESUS CHRIST, the Sun of righteousness, who, with the ray of truth scattered into my mind, illuminated it in such a way that I now grasp that pious and orthodox sentiment regarding the Flesh of Christ, according to the common faith of the Elect, shared by us with the Fathers, such that I can refute the adversarial Opinion by a most evident Reduction to Absurdity. It is of this kind:

If those holy Fathers did not eat the same Bread of life by which we are nourished, then these blasphemous and absurd consequences follow:

1. That those arguments of Paul, concerning our election and the reprobation of the unfaithful, drawn from the examples of Isaac, Jacob, Esau, and Pharaoh, are false. Rom. 9.

2. That the argument of the same Apostle, concerning the justification of Abraham and his children, is false. Rom. 4.

3. That there is not one Catholic Church of the Saints.
