B08365	A dialogue between a pastor and parishioner, touching the Lord's Supper. Wherein the most material doubts and scruples about receiving that holy sacrament, are removed, and the way thereto discovered to be both plain and pleasant. Very usefull for private christians in these scrupulous times. With some short prayers fitted for that occasion, and a morning and evening prayer for the use of private families / by Michael Altham, Vicar of Latton in Essex.	Altham, Michael, 1633-1705.	1687 (1687)	Wing A2933AB; ESTC R172247	65,705	236

to_o be_v very_o reasonable_a if_o we_o consider_v either_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o feast_n we_o be_v invite_v to_o or_o the_o unworthiness_n of_o the_o person_n who_o be_v invite_v it_o be_v

of_o the_o vine_n until_o that_o day_n when_o i_o shall_v drink_v it_o new_a with_o you_o in_o my_o father_n kingdom_n in_o which_o word_n the_o holy_a jesus_n seem_v to_o intimate_v two_o thing_n

11.26_o as_o often_o as_o you_o do_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o do_v show_v or_o show_v you_o forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v thus_o have_v i_o show_v you_o

may_v deserve_o be_v reckon_v as_o one_o of_o that_o number_n but_o to_o make_v the_o notion_n of_o this_o sacrament_n yet_o more_o plain_a to_o you_o let_v we_o consider_v by_o what_o name_n it_o
