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.

- 1Verse. 19.
Sorrowful they were, because their Master had told them, that he should be betrayed into the hands of sinners, & that one of them should do it, & every one was doubtful & distrustful of himself: and therefore partly that they might be better acquainted ⟨p. 53⟩with their own hearts, to the intent that if they were of such an ill disposition, they might be helped against it: partly that each of them might have comfort that he was not the man: and partly that they might be cleared every one of them before his fellows they ask our Saviour, saying: Is it I? Judas indeed proposeth the same question, but not with the like affection, nor to the like end & purpose, but only that he might thereby cloak his unfaithful and ungodly plots & practises against his Master, having before this compounded with the high Priests for the betraying of him.
