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.

How should we trie our selues in the matter of repentance?
We must examine, Repentance. 1 1. whether we have at any time carefully sifted our hearts and behaviour, to find out as many of our corruptions as possibly we could. 2. Whether we have been, and are heartily sorrowful for the same. 3. Whether we have rightly confessed them before the Lord, with an earnest desire of the pardon thereof. And 4. whether we purpose and resolve for ever hereafter (through Gods gracious assistance) to reform both our hearts and ways.
