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.

Where if you reply, that Abraham and other godly Patriarchs, and Fathers under the law, had this circumcision of the heart, and yet notwithstanding received the outward cutting of the fore-skin, for a seal of that inward circumcision, I grant; and therefore you have for an outward seal of your inward cutting & purging your corruption, the Sacrament of Baptism: a seal, that with Christ you are buried unto sin: that sin is truly mortified and deadened in you, that it should no more reign over you, nor you should live to it.
Where if you reply, that Abraham and other godly Patriarkes, and Fathers vnder the law, had this circumcision of the heart, and yet notwithstanding receiued the outward cutting of the fore-skin, for a seale of that inward circumcision, I grant; and therefore you haue for an outward seale of your inward cutting & purging your corruption, the Sacrament of Baptisme: a seale, that with Christ you are buried vnto sinne: that sin is truly mortified and deadned in you, that it should no more raigne ouer you, nor you should liue to it.
Another fruit also of this circumcision, whereof Baptism is a seal, is, that with Christ you are raised up to newness of life, through faith, which God hath wrought in you by the same almighty power, whereby he hath raised Christ from the dead.

Verse. 13. And ye which were dead in sins, and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, forgiving you all your trespasses.
