Dico, quòd Sacerdos intendens facere, quod facit Ecclesia, legens distinctè verba Canonis, à Principio usque ad finem, verè consicit: nec est tutum alicui, reputare see valde peritum in scienua sua, & dicere, volo uti praecisè istis verbis pro Consecratione: The mater being ⟨p. 209⟩so doubtful, what then is your Counsel? I say, that the Priest intending to do, what so ever the Church doth, and reading the words of the Canon distinctly, and plainly, from the beginning to the end, doth verily Consecrate. Neither is it good for a man to reckon him self very skilful in his knowledge, and to say, I vvil use precisely these, or these words to work Consecration. Where also these words are specially noted in the Margin, Nota, quòd de hae materia, Doctor nihil hîc asserit, sed probabiliter aliquid dicens, sub dubio relinquit: Here mark, that touching this matter (of Consecration) the Doctor avoucheth nothing: but speaking somewhat by the way of likelihood, he leaveth the whole matter under doubt. In the end Scotus uncertainly, and doubtfully concludeth thus: Unde dicunt aliqui, quòd Forma Graecorum,1 & Forma nostra, & quaecunque scripta in Evangelijs, sufficiens est ad Consecrationem: Whereof some say thus, that the Form of words, that the Greeks use, and the Form that we use, and any Form else written in the Gospels is sufficient to Consecration. The like certainty Bonaventura teacheth us: For thus he endeth: 2De hoc est utilius dubitare: Quis enim potest scire, utrùm Evangelistae, aut Apostolus ipse intenderint describete Formam? Igitur melius est, hîc piè dubitare, quàm praesumptuosé definire: Hereof it is best to stand in doubt. For who can tell, whether the Evangelists, or the Apostle Paul him self, meant to write us the Form of Consecration? Therefore in this point it is better, Soberly to doubt, then presumptuously to determine.
