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.

Another thing that doth usually disquiet the hearts of those that are turning unto God, is, that their sins have been heinous and extraordinary, and many of them such as have broken the covenant, of which sort is Idolatry: concerning which, 1he addeth, and from all your Idols will I cleanse you: and in an other place, that he would open a fountain of grace to wash them from all sins, even from sins of separation, and such presumptuous offences as deserved excommunication from Gods people, yea and to be cut off by the sword of the Magistrate.
