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.

For confutation of the Papists, Use. 1 1that little regarding the commandments of God, expect great matters for their devotion, and their outward inventions and observations: but who hath required those things at their hands? the Lord commandeth them to keep his precepts, otherwise they can expect no recompense from him; but that may be said of all their invented worship, which was spoken of them that were so full of external ceremonies (as touch not, taste not, handle not) in the Apostles time: concerning all which he saith: That they perish with the using, 2seeing they are after the commandments, ⟨p. 29⟩and doctrines of man: So soon as the work is done, the reward is gone.
