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. 20. Children, obey your parents in all things: for that is well pleasing vnto the Lord.
You children, from a heart subdued and truly humble obey your parents, not by halves and so far as they command things to your liking, but in all things, not contrary to the word of God, although it be to the crossing of your desires: for which cause let it be always before your eyes as a goad to stir you up to this obedience, that in so doing you shall not only please your parents, but do a thing acceptable to the Lord himself.
