A47326 Convivium cœleste a plain and familiar discourse concerning the Lords Supper, shewing at once the nature of that sacrament : as also the right way of preparing our selves for the receiving of it : in which are also considered those exceptions which men usually bring to excuse their not partaking of it. Kidder, Richard, 1633-1703. 1684 (1684) Wing K401; ESTC R218778 114,952 274
