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.

II. Rule. If we would truly honour our selves, we must honour God in all our ways. For God will honour them, who honour him, 1. Sam. 2. 30. Now to honour God, is to honour ⟨p. 635⟩him according to his will and word, in the duties of good conscience and good life. On the contrary, they that dishonour God, God will dishonour them before all the world. And this must teach us, even to dedicate our selves to God and his providence, in the whole course of our callings, whether in the Church or Commonwealth.
