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.

It is a note of true repentance, Doct. 5 and of an honest and sincere heart, to discharge the duties that belong unto us in our places ⟨p. 79⟩and callings. For look what is here said of Magistrates, 1and men of higher places, that if they would manifest the soundness of their repentance, and the uprightness of their hearts, they should leave off their oppression, and fall to equal dealing betwixt man and man: the like holds in all other callings, and among men of all sorts and degrees, to wit, that they put to their utmost endeavour, to find out what are the works of that vocation wherein God hath set them, and accordingly to do the same, reforming the special things, wherein they have faulted heretofore.
