A91214 The Lords Supper briefly vindicated; and clearly demonstrated by Scripture and other authorities, to be a grace-begetting, soul-converting, (as well as confirming) ordinance; against all false, vain, absurd, irreligious cavils, objections, whimsies, delusions of those novellists, who have lately contradicted it, both in press and pulpit : here satisfactorily refuted, retorted, dissipated. / By William Prynne of Swainswick Esquire; a bencher of Lincolns Inne. Prynne, William, 1600-1669. 1657 (1657) Wing P4006; Thomason E928_3; ESTC R35132 45,732 66
