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.

This early‑nineteenth‑century sermon invites listeners into a reverent meditation on the Lord’s Supper, framing the observance as a duty grounded in Christ’s own authority. Drawing from the New Testament and the older covenantal shadows, the minister sets out why the holy feast is more than ritual— it is a tangible reminder of the Redeemer’s self‑offering and a proclamation of his ongoing priestly work.

The discourse unfolds around the three classic offices of Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King—explaining how each role underpins the communion’s meaning. It outlines, in clear language, who may partake, emphasizing faith, repentance, and a living connection to the Spirit. The sermon’s rich imagery, from the ancient high‑priestly vestments to the everlasting throne, gives the listener a vivid sense of the theological depth behind a familiar practice.

Presented with measured cadence and earnest exhortation, the work offers a window onto historic evangelical preaching. It’s especially rewarding for those who enjoy thoughtful, scripturally rooted reflections on worship and the continual presence of Christ in the believer’s life.
