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.

Answ. In the second place therefore we must remember▪ that God will temper and moderate our afflictions, so as we may be able to bear them. Habakkuk prayeth unto God, in the behalf of the Church, that he would in wrath remember mercy. And Paul 1saith, that the Lord will not suffer us to be tempted above that we are able to bear, but will give 2an issue with the temptation.
