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.

Tell also Archippus your Pastor and ordinary Minister, from me, that he look more diligently to his charge of ministry, which he hath received of the Lord: that he do it not by halves, but that he perform it in every respect, both of cheerful teaching, & of good example of life unto the flock.

verse 18. The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bands. Grace be with you.
Finally, I have sent you also my salutations, not by the hand of my Scribe, Secretary, (as the other salutations,) but by mine own hand: whereunto (for a close of my letters) I add my request unto you, that you would in your prayers, remember my bonds, for the obtaining of whatsoever my captive estate doth require.
