Containing Every Thing necessary to be known or done on this solemn Occasion: To which are prefixed, three Discourses on the following Subjects: Discourse I. On the dignity of the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. - The method of receiving it in St. Paul's time. - The reason why so many in the present age neglect the Lord's Supper. - The great danger that those are in, who never come to the Holy Sacrament.
