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.

1 First, they have right to nothing, 1but are mere thieves and usurpers, and shall answer for laying hold of those things, that are in truth none of their own. A thief may break into the Kings treasury, yet it is none of his, but he shall quickly be thrust out thence: and so may a moth creep into a velvet gown, yet hath it no right there, 2but may be brushed out at the owners pleasure: and the same is the case of all unregenerate persons: they are intruders into other mens possessions, and the great Landlord of the world may thrust them forth when it seemeth best unto himself, and call them to a reckoning for meddling with those things, that they could lay no lawful claim unto, by any one clause or title that is contained in Gods Law.
