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.

Therefore Daniel confesseth his own sins, the sins of the people and the sins of their forefathers; and aggravates the same in many words, 1saying, We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, yea we have rebelled, and have departed from thy precepts, and from thy judgements. We would not obey thy servants the Prophets that spake in thy name, &c. Unto us appertaineth open shame, to our Kings, to our Princes, and to our Fathers, &c. For we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, &c. Yea all Israel have transgressed thy law &c. therefore the curse is poured upon us.
