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. 24. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receiue the reward of the inheritance: for ye serue the Lord Christ.
Knowing that you shall receive in reward from the Lord, life, as an inheritance which he will freely as upon his children, bestow upon you: for it ought to uphold you in your dutiful service, that you serve not so much your masters, which are but men, and therefore sometimes unthankful and unable to recompense; but the Lord, who is both able, and will recompense your well doing.
