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.

IN the former part of this Chapter, the Prophet had charged these Jews, that though they carried the name of Gods children, and of Gods people, & thought themselves in very good case, yet they were indeed notable traitors and rebels against him; which rebellion of theirs is set out by two comparisons: for first he compares them with the Ox and the Ass, which though they be of the dullest sort of creatures, yet the one knows and remembers his owner: 1and the other his masters crib: and where they have received kindness, they will acknowledge it, and do service for it. But these Jews though they had been fed at full, and received innumerable blessings from the Lord, yet they were unmindful of God, and of his favours, and more unteachable and untractable concerning their duty, then were the Ox or the Ass. ⟨p. 44⟩They considered not whence, nor why, they had those many mercies which they enjoyed, and therefore did service therewith, not to God, but to their own lusts.
