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.

First, without this, we can have neither remission, Reasons. 1 nor sanctification: and therefore are so far from having interest in Gods mercies through Christ his merits, 1that we are liable to his wrath, and lie open to the strokes of his revenging hand.
