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.

Thirdly, he that would be a good chapman, and procure himself these heavenly robes, 1must come to the places and shops where he may buy and have choice for his money: which are, where the word is powerfully preached, and the Sacraments duly administered. Thence must these robes be fetched whereby all naked souls may be covered, and the most deformed creature may be beautified: 2the word is it which worketh grace and together with the Sacraments doth continually increase the same: so that thereby the Lord conveyeth unto us whatsoever legacies Christ hath deserved for us. And thus we see how the wedding garment may be come by: our own rags must be rejected, this must be desired and sought for where it is to be found.
