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.

Thirdly, §3if at any time we be overtaken by infirmity (as who is not often? 1for in many things we offend all) let us lament & bewail our offences, and that presently upon the committing of them: for if sin be quickly and heartily lamented, the course thereof will be speedily stayed, and we shall gain by an infirmity, which is by that means soundly healed. For our experience ⟨p. 40⟩of our own weakness, and so our humility will be increased: our discerning of the subtleties of Satan, and the deceitfulness of sin, and our care and watchfulness to resist it hereafter, will be thereby augmented.
