A35314	The parable of the great supper opened Wherein is set forth the fulness of Gospel-provision. The frank and free invitation of Jews and Gentiles to this Supper: the poor excuses of the recusant guests that were invited. The faithful returns which the messengers make unto the Lord of their refusal. God's displeasure against those who slight his favours: his bringing in of despicable creatures to fill his house: with the condemnation of those that were bidden. Methodically and succinctly handled by that judicious divine, Mr. John Crump, late of Maidstone in Kent.	Crumpe, John, d. 1674.	1669 (1669)	Wing C7431; ESTC R214975	153,869	393

in_o express_a term_n as_o moses_n do_v his_o meekness_n at_o one_o time_n and_o his_o provoke_a god_n at_o another_o time_n now_o as_o it_o be_v a_o base_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o commend_v
