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.

Take an instance hereof in the Prophet Daniel, who knew well by the spirit of Prophecy, that the Lord had determined to bring upon the Jews 70. years captivity in Babylon. He knew also, that God had promised to put an end to that captivity, at the end and term of those years. Now what did Daniel in this case? Upon knowledge of the will of God in that point, during the said time, he prayed not unto the Lord for 1deliverance of his people: But when he understood that the time drew near, wherein it was the will of God, that the Jews should 2return out of captivity, then by faith applying the promise of God to that particular time: he besought the Lord in prayer and supplications, with fasting, in sackcloth and ashes, and the Lord gave ear unto his prayers, and yielded him a gracious answer.
