Ten sermons tending chiefly to the fitting of men for the worthy receiving of the Lords Supper Wherein amongst many other holy instructions: the doctrines of sound repentance and humiliation, and of Gods special favours unto penitent sinners, and worthy communicants are largely and effectually handled. The six first, by I. Dod. The four last, by R. Cleaver. Whereunto is annexed, a plain and learned metaphrase on the epistle to the Colossians, written by a godly and judicious preacher. There is also set before the sermons, a short dialogue of preparation: containing the chief points that concern the worthy receiving of the Lords Supper, taken for the most part, out of the sermons following: and collected into a method for the benefit and ease of those that desire direction in this matter.Ten sermons tending chiefely to the fitting of men for the worthy receiuing of the Lords Supper VVherein amongst many other holy instructions: the doctrines of sound repentance and humiliation, and of Gods speciall fauours vnto penitent sinners, and worthy communicants are largely and effectually handled.

Thirdly, §3whereas others leave executors to perform their Wills, the Lord liveth for ever, so that he himself that made it, will also execute it: and therefore as it is called a Testament, so is it also elsewhere termed a covenant: for the fulfilling whereof, the Lord hath entered into bonds, 1and pawned his word and promise, his truth and fidelity, his oath, yea himself, his nature, and all that he hath: so that it is impossible he should fail in performing the lest clause thereof. The use thereof shall be.
