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.

To the end you may refrain all the vices aforesaid, and practise all the virtues afore spoken of, together with all other vices to be avoided, and virtues to be embraced, it is necessary that you be exhorted, that the word of God be as familiar unto you, as if now in one house it dwelt with you; that you have it also plentifully, & as it were treasured up against the day of need. Last of all, that you have it in all wisdom, making choice both of the things that are most important in it, and especially that which doth most concern your selves, and your own particular use, avoiding all curious questions, tending rather to strife than to edification of God which is by faith. And as you must have it for your own use, so also for the use of others, as well in teaching those that are ignorant, as in admonishing those that walk not according to their knowledge they have received.
