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.

But Christ saith, John. 6.53.55. Object, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you: for my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
But Christ saith, Iohn. 6.53.55. Obiect, Except ye eate the flesh of the Sonne of man, and drinke his bloud, yee haue no life in you: for my flesh is meate indeede, and my bloud is drinke indeed.
He speaketh not there of the Sacrament, Answer. but rather of the faithful embracing of him in his word: for the Lords Supper was never before, nor at that time instituted, and as yet the words of consecration had not been spoken: and therefore if this be understood literally without the spiritual meaning ⟨p. 76⟩thereof, it will follow, that either Transubstantiation was before the Lords Supper, or the Lords Supper before the night in which he was betrayed. And in this place he maketh no mention of bread to be turned into his body: and the words wrested, would rather argue his body to be transubstantiated into bread, or flesh, then bread to be changed into his body.
