1685 Cambridge 1ed Imitation Christ Thomas Kempis + Widdrington Coena Dominica

1685 Cambridge 1^ed Imitation Christ Thomas Kempis + Widdrington Coena Dominica

“Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be.”

― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

Thomas a Kempis’s most famous and important work has, for centuries, been ‘The Imitation of Christ.’ It has widely been known to have influence important Christian conversion including that of John Wesley and John Newton.

This 1685 edition of Kempis is bound with Ralph Widdrington’s 1688 ‘Deipnon kai epideipnon Coena Dominica’. These two works were printed and bound together, as expected.
