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.

Sect. 1.
This Question consisteth of two parts. 1Touching the first. Sundry men are of opinion, ⟨p. 368⟩that it is utterly unlawful to fly in persecution; as Tertullian, who hath written a whole book of this argument: and besides him, certain Heretics, named Circumcelliones, in that part of Africa, which we now call Barbary, and some also of the sect of the Anabaptists. But the truth is, that sometimes it is lawful to fly, though not always. For proof whereof, consider these reasons.
