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 A second reason, §2to show the necessity of this inward touch for sin, is, 1that without the same it is impossible we should have any faith: for the promise is made to them that are weary of their corruptions; as a poor prisoner is of his bolts and Irons: 2even to them that account sin to be a bondage and a captivity unto them. 3And none have any warrant to come unto Christ, but those that are weary and heavy laden: if they feel not their sickness, the Lord Jesus Christ is not a Physician for their turn: he will not bind up the wounds, ⟨p. 54⟩nor cure the maladies of any, but of those, who are touched and pained with the sense and feeling of the same.
