The Glorious Law-Giver, and the Obedient Subject / Being the Substance of a Sermon, on the Duty of All Believers to Commemorate the Death of the Redeemer, in the Lord's Supper. Intending to Set Forth the Authority of Christ; the Nature of the Ordinance; and a Description of the Persons Who Have a Right to Partake of the Same.

A sermon argues that believers are duty-bound to commemorate Christ’s death in the Lord’s Supper and sets out the ordinance’s meaning, authority, and communicant qualifications. It explains Christ’s threefold office as Prophet, Priest, and King: prophetic revelation and spiritual illumination, priestly atonement and intercession, and kingly rule over believers. Old Testament types and anointing prefigure these roles, while union with Christ supplies holiness and assurance. The preacher presents the New Testament as the church’s rule of conduct and emphasizes that genuine faith and mutual love are the inward laws that govern worthy participation in the sacrament.
