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.

So much sincerity as their is, Doct. 2 so much blessedness there will be: and according to the degree of our hypocrisy, will be the measure of our misery. It is not in the action done, or in the words spoken, that blessedness consists, but in the quality of them, that all be done, and spoken soundly and sincerely: this is required Psalm 15. that he that will be a member of the Church militant on earth, and of the Church triumphant in heaven, must Walk uprightly, and speak the truth from his heart. And again in another Psalm, a question is made to the same ⟨p. 14⟩effect, Who shall dwell in the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place? 1and the answer is: He that, hath innocent hands, and a pure heart, which hath not lift up his mind to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. In which words we have a description of a sound hearted man.
