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.

First, either one Christ in his bodily presence must be both in heaven and earth, 1and in innumerable places there at one instant: or else be multiplied, §1and many Christs & many Saviours, and many redeemers, must be dispersed throughout all the Churches, where the Mass is offered, or the Sacrament administered: and so when the Lord did first celebrate it, there was to be one Christ breaking and distributing, and another Christ broken and given: one Christ to Peter, another Christ to John, and to every Apostle one.
