“Nostra quippe et ipsius
conjunctio, nec miscet personas, nec unit substantias, sed affectus
consociat, et confœderat voluntates.” — Cyp. de Cœn. Domini. [No treatise of
Cyprian bears such a title. There is a treatise, “De Cœnâ Domini,” ascribed to Cyprian, but on grounds
so questionable and insufficient that it is sometimes not included among
his supposititious works. A statement referring to the union between
Christ and his people, as illustrated by the sacramental elements, occurs
in his letter to Cœcilius, “De Sacramento
Dominici Calicis;” but the words of the above quotation are not
contained in it.]
