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.

Now, as there were some things temporarie and Ceremoniall in the Sabboth: so there are some things in it perpetuall & Morall, and those I take it are three especially.
First, that there should be a day of rest, in which man and beast might be refreshed after labour.
Secondly, that this day should be sanctified; that is, set apart to the worship of God. These two first, are therefore moral, because they are expressly mentioned in the Commandment touching the Sabbath.
