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.

The third evil is, the Changeable condition of our life in this world, whereby it comes to pass, that we are alway in a fleeting and transitory state. For we are (as Saint Peter speaketh) but strangers and Pilgrims, that wander to and fro in the earth, as in a 1strange country, and still are making forward to our own home. We have here no abiding city. The houses wherein we dwell, 2are but Inns, in which we sojourn for a time: yea the bodies which we have, are but •ents and tabernacles, alway ready to be shifted, and our selves to be translated into another place.
