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.

1 First, when we see the bread broken, and the wine poured out, we must consider of the bitter passion of Christ Jesus, who was wounded for our transgressions, 1and broken for our iniquities: who encountered with his fathers wrath, and with Satan, death and hell; and for our sakes in particular sustained such woeful terrors in his soul, and torments in his body, that he cried out in the bitterness of his heart, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me; and at length, shed forth his most precious blood for the pacifying of his fathers displeasure, and the satisfying of his infinite justice. And withal we should seriously ponder upon the inconceivable love of God the father, in giving his only and well-beloved Son, to suffer ⟨p. 15⟩such unspeakable tortures for us, who were cursed rebels against him: and thence be drawn to think on the heinousness and odiousness of our sins, which so far incensed the Lords wrath and indignation, that nothing could quench the flame thereof, but only the precious blood of his deer Son.

And withall wee should seriously ponder vpon the inconceiuable loue of God the father, in giuing his onely and welbeloued sonne, to suffer ⟨p. 15⟩such vnspeakeable tortures for vs, who were cursed rebels against him: and thence bee drawen to thinke on the hainousnesse and odiousnesse of our sinnes, which so farre incensed the Lords wrath and indignation, that nothing could quench the flame thereof, but onely the precious blood of his deere sonne.
