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.

Thirdly, we must give in simplicity. Rom. 12. 8. He that distributeth, let him do it with simplicity, that is, of mere pity and compassion, and not for any sinister respect, pleasure, or praise of men. Mat. 6. 3. When thou dost thine alms, let not thy left hand know, what thy right hand doth.

Fourthly, we must give in love. 1. Cor. 13. 3. Though I feed the poor with all my good: &c. and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
Fourthly, we must giue in loue. 1. Cor. 13. 3. Though I feede the poore with all my good: &c. and haue not loue, it profiteth me nothing.
Fifthly, in justice. For we must not give other mens goods, but our own truly gotten. Esa. ⟨p. 612⟩
