That the doctrine of the _real presence_ of the body and blood of the Saviour in the eucharist, is taught in the symbolical books, is acknowledged by the Plea of the Rev. Mr. Mann, and indeed generally admitted, though variously stated and explained. It would therefore be unnecessary to quote those symbols in proof, were it not that many of our readers have not access to them elsewhere, and that the completeness of our representation, as well as the plan of our work require it. The following passages will suffice to explain this view:-- _Augsburg Confession_, Art. X. OF THE LORD'S SUPPER. "Concerning the holy Supper of the Lord, it is taught, that the _true body and blood_ of Christ are truly present, under the form of bread and wine, in the Lord's Supper, and are there administered and received."--_Symb. Books_, p. 112. |
