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.

And so for Sanctification, though I be tainted with much ignorance, with many errors, with bad affections and evil actions; yet the Lord according to his covenant, will reform all, and give me a mind to know him, and his will; and a memory to hold fast what I know: he will give me a heart to love him, to fear him, and to obey his commandments. I shall have Christ his power to strengthen and uphold me, his ⟨p. 17⟩wisdom to instruct and direct me, & his spirit to work all needful graces in me; so that all the powers of hell shall never be able to prevail against me, much less shall the afflictions of this world be able to separate me from Christ Jesus. I need not fear any evil: For all shall work together for the best unto me: 1neither can I want any thing that is good, for God having given us his Son, how shall he not with him give us all things?
