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.

There that holy man of God showeth, that when any one is a favourer, and a hither of sin, every thing that should be for his good shall turn to his hurt; his ordinary food, his wealth and substance: and in a word, whatsoever otherwise might be comfortable unto him, all shall go cross with him: nothing shall be prospered and blessed unto him. These places do in part manifest unto us the danger of this cloaking of sin: what misery it brings; what happiness it deprives us of: yet besides those, there are reasons that may more clearly evict and prove that it must needs be so: for,
