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.

Sect. 1.
The Practise is that, which is to be used, in 1all distresses of mind what soever. And it is a diligent examination of the conscience in ⟨p. 119⟩regard of sin; an earnest and hearty confession thereof unto God: and deprecation, that is, earnest prayer unto him, for the pardon of the same. These three things, being done truly and unfeignedly from the heart, are a present remedy against this trouble, and bring with them much comfort.
