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.

Thirdly, it must be considered, that the best servants of God, have been in their times molested by the Devil. Christ in his 1second temptation, was carried by the Devil, from the wilderness, to a wing of the Temple of Jerusalem. The children of Job, were destroyed by the Devil, & he himself was filled with botches, and sores. A certain woman, even a daughter of Abraham, that is, one following the faith of Abraham, 2was troubled with a spirit of infirmity, eighteen years together. And the daughter of the woman of Canaan, was grievously vexed with a Devil. Math. 15. 21, 22.
