The Whole Treatise of the Cases of Conscience
The whole treatise of the cases of conscience distinguished into three books: the first whereof is revised and corrected in sundry places, and the other two annexed. Taught and delivered by M. W. Perkins in his holy-day lectures, carefully examined by his own briefs, and now published together for the common good, by T. Pickering Bachelor of Divinity. Whereunto is adjoined a twofold table: one of the heads and number of the questions propounded and resolved; another of the principal texts of Scripture which are either explained, or vindicated from corrupt interpretation.The whole treatise of the cases of conscience distinguished into three bookes: the first whereof is revised and corrected in sundrie places, and the other two annexed.

The second Objection. Jehu openly professed the worship of Baal, and yet he dissembled, meaning nothing less: 2. king. 10. 18. And the Lord commends him, for his diligent execution of that, which was right in his eyes, vers. 30.

Ans. Jehu is commended, not for his dissembling, but for his diligence in destroying Achabs house, his religion, & the Priests, with all that belonged unto them; though in other matters belonging to the service of God, he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam.

The third objection. Dan. 3. 6. Nebuchad-nezzar made a decree, that whosoever would not fall down and worship the golden Image, should the same hour be cast into the middest ⟨p. 366⟩of an hot fiery furnace. Now we do not read, that any moe refused to obey but three, and therefore it seems, that Daniel did worship the Image, as well as others.
