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 Isaiah prophesied naked and bare-foot, Esa. 20. […]. and so did Saul, 1. Sam. 19. 24. I answer: first, that which the Prophet did, was done by commandment, as may appear in the second verse of that Chapter. For the Lord gave him commandment so to do. Again, he is said to be naked, because he put off his upper, •ent, which was sackcloth, or some other rough garment, that Prophets used to wear; but it cannot be proved, that he put off that garment which was next his flesh and skin.
