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 is forgiveness of private punishment; which is, when men return punishment for injuries done, in way of requital; and this must always take place with us, because as vengeance it self, so also punishment in way of revenge, is Gods alone.
The second is forgiuenesse of priuate punishment; which is, when men returne punishment for iniuries done, in way of requitall; and this must alwaies take place with vs, because as vengeance it selfe, so also punishmēt in way of revenge, is Gods alone.
The third is, forgiveness of judgement, when we judge an injury done to be an injury. This judgement we are not bound to forgive unto men. For we may with good conscience, judge a sin and a wrong to be as they are. And yet notwithstanding, if a man ⟨p. 493⟩make satisfaction for the wrong done, then there ought to be forgiveness, even in regard of judgment.
The third is, forgiuenesse of iudgement, when we iudge an inurie done to be an iniurie. This iudgement we are not bound to forgiue vnto men. For we may with good conscience, iudge a sinne and a wrong to be as they are. And yet notwithstanding, if a man ⟨p. 493⟩make satisfaction for the wrong done, then there ought to be forgiuenes, even in regard of iudgemen.
The fourth is forgiveness of satisfaction. This we are not alway bound to remit, but we may with good conscience, alway require satisfaction where hurt is done.
