""A Discourse Concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper"" by Ralph Cudworth is a theological treatise on the Christian sacrament of the Eucharist. Published in 1670, the book explores the various interpretations of the Lord's Supper and argues for a more spiritual and symbolic understanding of the sacrament.

He also critiques the views of other theologians, including Martin Luther and John Calvin, who held more literal interpretations of the sacrament. Overall, ""A Discourse Concerning the True Notion of the Lord's Supper"" presents a thoughtful and nuanced perspective on an important aspect of Christian theology.1670. To which is added to sermons on I John Ch. 2. vers. 3, 4; I Corinth. 15, 57. The main work of this book discusses the grand error of the Papists concerning the Lord's Supper being a sacrifice. Perhaps at first this belief did rise by degeneration from a primitive truth, whereof the very obliquity of this error may bear some dark and obscure intimation, which will best appear when we have first discovered the true notion of the Lord's Supper, whence we shall be able at once to convince the error of this Popish tenet, and then give a just account of the first rise of it.
