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.

Look about you by sound knowledge of the truth, lest any of what opinion, holiness, or learning soever, by either show of reason coming from the brain of men, which hath been received from hand to hand, and yet is nothing else but a deceit or sleight, or else by the ceremonies of the Law, wherewith as by certain rudiments or ABC, the people of God as children were trained to this perfection of doctrine, which now hath shined out unto you, do vanquish you, & draw you before them, as prisoners fast bound in chains and manacles of errors: yea take heed of any doctrine whatsoever, that either taketh any thing away from Christ, or placeth any the least jot of salvation otherwhere than in him.

vers. 9. For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily
vers. 9. For in him dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodily
For seeing that in the nature of Christ, the fullness of the Godhead doth personally rest and abide, that both the natures of the Godhead & the manhood, make but one Christ, what is there needful for your salvation, that you may not have abundantly in him?
