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.

He it is that is blessed and Prince, 1the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. This Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged after that the Lord had made him, being the mightiest Monarch in the world, to become more wretched then the poorest man in the world, living as a beast for seven years together: after that (I say) the Lord had abased him, and raised him up again, he acknowledged that God was the King of all the earth, whereas he thought before that he himself had been: showing what manner of King he is, 2namely, the most high, everlasting, of an unresistable power, so that all the inhabitants of the earth are to be reputed as nothing in comparison of him.
