A10898 A treatise of the two sacraments of the Gospell: baptisme and the Supper of the Lord Divided into two parts. The first treating of the doctrine and nature of the sacraments in generall, and of these two in speciall; together with the circumstances attending them. The second containing the manner of our due preparation to the receiving of the Supper of the Lord; as also, of our behaviour in and after the same. Whereunto is annexed an appendix, shewing; first, how a Christian may finde his preparation to the Supper sweete and easie: secondly, the causes why the sacrament is so unworthily received by the worst; and so fruitefly by the better sort: with the remedies to avoyd them both. By D.R. B. of Divin. minister of the Gospell. D. R. (Daniel Rogers), 1573-1652. 1633 (1633) STC 21169; ESTC S112046 376,405 453

the_o formality_n of_o some_o in_o this_o kind_n argue_v a_o deep_a leaven_n with_o popish_a blindness_n who_o think_v that_o oft_o receive_v may_v derogate_v from_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o
