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.

To this same purpose there is a heavy threatening denounced against this devilish cunning and craft in covering of sin, ⟨p. 21⟩by the Prophet Isaiah. 1Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsels from the Lord, &c. they that have such skill and art to hide their wickedness in the dark, and to carry bad matters covertly and closely, what do they get by it? they think thereby to have the credit and reputation of wise men & deep politicians: but the curse of God belongs unto them, which there is denounced against them, that shall pursue them, and his hand shall find them out, with all their wretched and sinful plots and devises, which they have hatched in the secrets of their brains, and thought to keep close from God and men: and he shall bring to nothing both them, and their counsels; for all their deep reaches God can overreach them, and his judgements shall overtake and overthrow them.
