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 that we should not endanger our souls for the enjoyment of the pleasures of sin for a season; yet many are so foolish, that so they might satisfy their fleshly desires, they care not though they do it with the price of their souls: so they may have their pleasures and commodities, and fulfil their beastly lusts, they will even sell themselves unto destruction ⟨p. 67⟩as Ahab did: not caring what miseries they cast themselves into, nor what snares they entangle themselves in, so they may accomplish their brutish and devilish purposes, being therein more silly then the poor bird or fish, that once perceiving the snare or the hook, will not easily meddle, nor adventure the danger the second time.
