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 cause why we should rest fully resolved of this point, Reason. that none of Gods household shall ever want necessary relief. Because all will yield that he is the governor of heaven and earth, and the disposer of all things in them both: and then they must grant further, that those that are best, and do best, shall speed best; because God loveth them most: and how then can we make question, whether or no, the Lord will bestow upon them a competent measure, and a comfortable use of these earthly blessings, seeing all is in his hand, and he wisheth so well unto his own people? especially seeing he hath straightly charged us, not to care what we shall eat, 1or ⟨p. 102⟩drink, or what we shall put on: but first to seek the kingdom of heaven, and the righteousness thereof, promising us faithfully that if we do so, all other things shall be east upon us.
