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 Apostle Paul in his time foretold the destruction of the Roman Empire, and the revealing of Antichrist, 2. Thes. 7, 8. &c. which prophecy was shortly after fulfilled. For Antichrist grew from those times by little and little, till at length he came to sit in the Emperors throne. Men indeed may foretell things to come, but things foretold by them are present in their causes, and so they know and foretell them, not otherwise. But God foretelleth simply, and the scriptures foretell simply, therefore they are the word of God.
