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.

It is not sufficient to confess sin, Doct. 3 but we must also leave and forsake it.
It is not sufficient to confesse sinne, Doct. 3 but wee must also leaue and forsake it.
This, as it is commanded by the Prophet Isaiah, who saith: Let the wicked forsake his ways, and the ungodly his own imaginations, &c. So was it practised by those worthy and excellent converts, 1mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles, who did not only acknowledge their vile and naughty practises, but to show their through detestation of them, and their resolution to forsake them, brought their curious books and burnt them openly, Note. though the price of them amounted to a great value: that so those that had been witnesses of their sin, might also be witnesses of their repentance: and that neither themselves nor others might be infected by them afterwards: and that those whose harts were not yet touched with remorse for that sin, might by their example be drawn to a dislike of it, and to hearty sorrow, and repentance for it.
