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

be_v about_o we_o have_v need_n use_v our_o utmost_a care_n that_o we_o may_v attend_v upon_o god_n without_o distraction_n else_o will_v our_o heart_n before_o we_o be_v aware_a slide_n into_o vain_a
