The two seventeenth-century essays translated and offered in this book were originally designed to help people of the Dutch Further Reformation derive the greatest benefit from celebrating the Lord s Supper. Guilelmus Saldenus's The Efficacy of the Lord's Supper concentrates on the joy received in celebrating the sacrament and the sanctified living that it ought to generate. Wilhelmus a Brakel's Edifying Discourses instructs believers in preparing their hearts for the celebration, participating in the Supper responsibly, and following up the meal in a spiritually beneficial manner. These contributions are but two examples of a much larger genre of edifying Lord's Supper literature that developed in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century
