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.

Verse 11. Where is neither Grecian nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all, and in all things.
Verse 11. Where is neither Grecian nor Iew, circumcision nor vncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond, free: but Christ is all, and in all things.
Whereby shall come to pass, that howsoever the false teachers place it in being a Jew, rather than being a Gentile: circumcised rather than uncircumcised: and the opinion of the common sort is, that the Barbarian and Scythian is in a far worse case than the Roman, and the servant but a beast in respect of the free man: yet ⟨p. 98⟩with God there is no difference, seeing Christ, whom by a new birth they have put on, is in all, and is all that God respecteth, and accepteth of.

Verse 12. Now therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercy, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering.
