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.

Again, God threatened by Jeremiah, that the Jews for their sins, should be led captive, and serve the king of Babel 70. years. Now if we take the just computation of 1time, it will appear, that so soon as ever those years were expired, the foresaid threat was accomplished. And therefore Daniel, alluding to Jeremies prophecy, exactly setteth it down, when he saith, The same night was Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans slain, that is, 2the very night wherein those 70. years came to their full period.
Againe, God threatned by Ieremie, that the Iewes for their sins, should be led captiue, and serue the king of Babel 70. yeares. Now if we take the iust computation of 1time, it will appeare, that so soone as euer those yeres were expired, the foresaid threat was accomplished. And therefore Daniel, alluding to Ieremies prophecie, exactly setteth it downe, when he saith, The same night was Belshazzarking of the Chaldeans slaine, that is, 2the very night wherein those 70. yeares came to their full period.
And as there are set times, allotted by God for the execution of his threatening sentences; so also hath he determined certainly, the accomplishment of all and every of his promises.
