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.

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
