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 as we give not over praying for you, so do we not cease to give thanks to God the Father, because that it is he that by his holy Spirit hath made us fit to have a part in the inheritance of Saints: whom whether we consider as they are in this world by reason of the comfort and true knowledge of God, or as they shall be in the world to come, by reason of their perfect blessedness, may well be said to be in light.

This part of our inheritance standeth first, in that God with a merciful hand pulled us out, both of the present darkness of ignorance, and disobedience, and from that which is to come, even the most fearful punishment of them both. And secondly, it standeth in this, that the same God hath translated us into the kingdom of his most dear Son, which being here begun, shall be accomplished in the life to come.
