PACE

Statement of the proof of the Real Presence from the words

of Institution, Matt. xxvi. 26-29; Mark xiv. 22-25; Luke

xxii. 19, 20; 1 Cor. xi. 23-26-Strong dogmatical ground

of this Argument from the Decision of the Council of

Trent-Onus probandi thrown upon Protestants, who are

obliged to demonstrate two things: 1. That these words

may be taken figuratively; 2. That we are obliged so to

take them-Examination of the first point

LECTURE VI.

Examination of the second point at issue between Catholics

and Protestants, on the Words of Institution; are we

compelled to prefer the figurative interpretation in order to

escape from greater difficulties, such as contradictions

and violations of the law of nature.-Hermeneutical disqui-

sition on the subject.-Philosophical principles applied to

it. Strong confirmatory Arguments of the Catholic Inter-

pretation, from the construction of the words, and from the

circumstances of the institution

LECTURE VII.

Objections to the literal interpretation of the Words of Insti-

tution answered.-First: Ordinary practice of calling a

representation by the name of the thing signified.—

Secondly: Objections drawn from the Celebration of the

Paschal Feast; and Thirdly: From the language in which

our Saviour spoke.-Notice of Dr. Lee's Allegations

LECTURE VIII.

Arguments for the Real Presence, from the doctrine of St.

Paul regarding the use of the blessed Sacrament.-Gene-

ral objections against the Catholic doctrine from Scripture.
