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, Reasons. because God commandeth us to pray one for another. §1Now if those that are not tied unto us by any near bonds, 1are to be recommended unto God in our prayers; much more those whom God hath more especially united unto us either by nature, or by duty & service, on their part to be performed unto us. Yea, Christ Jesus straitly commandeth us to pray for our enemies. 2Now if that be a bounden duty; how much more is it to pray for our friends; especially if withal they be Gods friends? seeing they by our prayers may be much helped, and without them much endangered.
