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.

4 Fourthly, §4this is a very effectual means to quicken us unto prayer, and therefore still in the Scripture we shall find, 1that where there hath been hearty confession, there have followed as hearty petitions; as we see in the former examples of Daniel and Nehemiah. For how vehement their requests were, may appear in the places before alleged, by the manner of putting them up. O Lord hear, O Lord forgive, 2O Lord consider and do it, (saith Daniel) defer not for thine own sake, O my God. And Nehemiah comes with the like importunity. 3O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepest covenant and mercy, &c. I pray thee let thine ears be attent, and thine eyes open, to hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee daily, day and night for the children of Israel thy servants. O Lord ⟨p. 30⟩I beseech thee let thine ear now hearken to the prayer of thy servant, &c.
