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.

Hypocrites, cannot abide that any should rub upon their galled backs as it were, or come near them to touch their gouty, and festered, and corrupted consciences, but they will wince and kick, and lay about them, and cry out on those that are such judgers, and such busy-bodies (as they term them) and so reject all wholesome reproofs, & carry a bitter heart against ⟨p. 22⟩the reprovers. Only those that are sound-hearted, can submit themselves, in the lowliness of their minds, and meekness of their spirits, to bear admonitions, when they need it, (be he a superior or an inferior that administereth the same) and labour to make a right use hereof, and to love the party the better, that will deal so mercifully and faithfully with their souls. Obser.
