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.

And that I write unto you, know, that I do it with warrant: for I am an Apostle of Jesus Christ, and not tied to any particular congregation, or to one province, yea or to one kingdom; but am an Ambassador, and have commission to all the world. Neither do I come to this charge of mine own will, or of the will of any other man, but by the will of God, and the same his revealed will. And albeit my authority herein be sufficient to convince all men of the truth I write of, yet for further and stronger confirmation thereof, I have joined Timotheus, my well beloved brother, to bear record with me, that in the mouth of two witnesses, the truth may be more surely established.
