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
