Excerpt from A Plain Account of the Nature and End of the Sacrament of the Lord's-Supper: In Which All the Texts in the New Testament, Relating to It, Are Produced and Explained, and the Whole Doctrine About It, Drawn From Them Alone

In the following Treatise, I have endeavoured to establish and explain the true Nature, End, and Effect, of the Sacrament of the Lord's-Supper. The Substance of it is What I preached, many Years ago, in several Sermons, when I had the Care of a Parish in London.

In that Relation, I thought it my Duty always to have a View to the particular Demands of Those I was to instruct. Especially, I esteemed my self obliged to have a very peculiar Regard to the Wants of Some of the Best and most sincere Christians, whom I found often in danger of great Errors, or great Superstition, and too commonly disturbed and perplexed by such Fears and Terrors, as indeed made their Desire of being truly Religious, the Burthen and Misery, instead of the Delight, of their Lives.
