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.

The Doctrines of the sixth Sermon on MATH. 22.11. 1 God is the only absolute king over all the whole world. 2 The Lord taketh notice of every guest that sitteth at his table. 3 It is not sufficient to come to Gods wedding feast, but we must come as fit guests for so great a banquet, and so glorious a presence. 4 When God hath to deal even against sinners, yet he dealeth in good and peaceable terms. 5 Sinners shall have nothing to say for themselves when God entereth into judgement with them. 6 The special time and place of the punishment of wicked men, is after this life in hell fire.
