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.

Then came men unto me (says she) but I wist not whence they were: 1And when they shut the gate in the dark, the men went out, whither they went, I wot not: follow after them quickly, for you shall overtake them. Every word she here spake, was false, and savoured of much weakness: yet all this God takes no knowledge of, when he is to speak or her, and of her faith, and love. Indeed she was but a new comer on, and had not been instructed as yet what the danger of a lye was, &c. and therefore notwithstanding her failing in that particular, she is brought by the Apostle James, 2as an example of one that was justified, (or made known to be a just and righteous woman) by her works: none other being reckoned up, but those which she did at that time.
