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.

The Prophet Samuel understood that this was a duty, ⟨p. 117⟩when he accounted the neglect hereof to be a sin against God, as in that book it appeareth that he did: for when the people were frighted and humbled, both by the words of Samuel, and by the miraculous work of God, in sending extraordinary thunder and rain in the time of wheat harvest, and thereupon came unto Samuel, saying, 1Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not: his answer was, God forbid, that I should sin against the Lord, 2and cease praying for you.
