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.

With earthly Judges, the more is confessed by a malefactor, the worse it's likely to go with him: Note. but it is otherwise with the great Judge of heaven: the larger and freer our confession is, the easier, and surer, and speedier, 1shall our remission be: if we judge our selves, we shall not be condemned of the Lord.
With earthly Iudges, the more is confessed by a malefactour, the worse it's likely to goe with him: Note. but it is otherwise with the great Iudge of heauen: the larger and freer our confession is, the easier, and surer, and speedier, 1shall our remission be: if wee iudge our selues, wee shall not be condemned of the Lord.
