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.

BY propounding this Question (as in the former) I mean not to make a doubt touching the godhead of Christ, which is one of the principal grounds of our religion, but to take away, or at least, prevent an inward corruption of the heart in them, that are weak in knowledge; whereby they may be brought sometimes to make doubt and question of the divinity of Christ, and therefore have need to be resolved in the truth hereof.
