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.

How the Sabbath of the New Testament is to be observed?
How the Sabboth of the New Testament is to be obserued?
Ans. In observing a Sabbath of the new Testament, there are two things required; a Rest, and a Sanctification of the same rest to an holy use. This Answer is made out of the very substance of the fourth Commandment, which is moral, and hath nothing ceremonial in it. And the fourth Commandment (for substance) consists in a ceasing from labour, and a holy dedication of our rest to holy use, that is, to the worship and service ⟨p. 454⟩of God.
