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.

It beseemeth not a good man, to suffer his heart to be as it were bribed with kindness, that his mouth should be stopped, when God and fit opportunity calleth upon him to open it. Dan. 5 Though Belshazzar would needs have Daniel clothed with purple, and a chain of gold put about his neck, with promise of great preferment: yet Daniel spared not to tell Belshazzar, that he had lift up himself against the Lord of heaven, and profaned his holy vessels, and praised Idols, and not glorified the GOD in whose hand was his breath, and all his ways.
