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.

Likewise for the things of the world: do we not prosper in our estate, in our bodies, in our children? &c. let us make trial if there be not some wickedness that hath countenance with us. Note. And if there be, thence (may we be sure) comes all our woe: they that will not grieve for sin, because it is sin, shall be driven to grieve for it by many sore troubles: and they that are insensible of it when it is committed, shall be made sensible in the end by feeling it punished. And this is a good use that is made of the troubles of Gods Church, in the Lamentations of Jeremiah. Wherefore (say they) is the living man sorrowful, ⟨p. 27⟩why doth he turmoil and vex himself? 1man suffereth for his sin: what is the conclusion? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again unto the Lord, &c. We have sinned, Objection. and rebelled, therefore thou hast not spared, &c. But we know no special sin that should procure this hand of God against us.

And this is a good vse that is made of the troubles of Gods Church, in the Lamentations of Ieremie. Wherefore (say they) is the liuing man sorowfull, ⟨p. 27⟩why doth hee turmoile and vexe himselfe? 1man suffereth for his sinne: what is the conclusion? Let vs search and trie our waies, and turne againe vnto the Lord, &c. Wee haue sinned, Obiection. and rebelled, therefore thou hast not spared, &c. But we know no speciall sinne that should procure this hand of God against vs.
