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.

2 This redressing of a mans ways, as well as confessing of his faults, §21is very needful, because otherwise one can have no assurance that he hath faith; for that purifies the heart: and if the heart be clean, 2all that proceeds from it will be answerable thereunto. A pure fountain cannot send forth impure streams.

3 Further, §3he may be certain, that the spirit of Christ ⟨p. 37⟩dwells not in his heart: for wheresoever that takes possession, 1it expels sin, and will not suffer such filthy ware to rest in that room where it doth remain: and if it be not in the warehouse, it cannot be brought forth into the shop.
