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.

And there is no cause to the contrary, but that God may remit and pardon one sin as well as another, (excepting only the sin against the holy Ghost, which shutteth up the heart from all repentance) and all as well as one.

1 Reason. First, because Christ Jesus hath satisfied for all alike: for the greatest as well as for the smallest: for every one as well as for any one: 1for so saith the Prophet Isaiah. He hath borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows, &c. He was wounded for our transgressions, & broken for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we were healed. All we like sheep have gone astray: we have turned every one to his own way, and the Lord hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all. Whence it's plain and evident, that Christ hath payed our whole debt, and not a piece of it only: he hath discharged our pounds, as well as our shillings and pence: and hath suffered for our must horrible and fearful rebellions, as well as for our smallest slips. And therefore as an honest creditor when the surety hath satisfied him for all that was owing, will not come with after reckonings, nor challenge any thing of ⟨p. 93⟩the debtor: so neither will the Lord lay any thing to our charge, his Son Christ Jesus having laid down the full price for our iniquities, whereby his wrath is appeased, and his justice perfectly satisfied. That is one reason on Gods part, why he must of necessity blot out of his book and out of his remembrance, all the offences of repentant sinners, without any exception at all.
