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.

It is objected that Moses saith, Levit. 23. 32. From even to even shall ye celebrate your Sabbath. Ans. The words must be understood of the feast of reconciliation, being the tenth day of the seventh month, which was solemnized and kept from even to even. And it is called a Sabbath, because it was by special commandment appointed to be kept as the Sabbath day and that in two respects. First because it was to be kept holy by the ⟨p. 468⟩Jews, in humbling themselves and offering Sacrifices, vers. 27. Secondly, because upon that day it was not lawful to do any servile work upon pain of death, vers. 25. 30.
