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 instruction, Use 1 to teach us a point of wisdom, that seeing ⟨p. 63⟩all sinners are so unfaithful, therefore we should beware how we trust them, and how we commit our selves or our secrets unto them: for albeit their looks be fair and smooth, and their speeches and outward carriage seem loving and kind: yet if they fear not God, they will lye in wait for an advantage, and do us a mischief before we be aware, if we take not the better heed of them: and therefore let us not expose our selves unto them.
