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 sixth allegation, is out of Gen. 21. 9. ⟨p. 242⟩1where Ismael is said to mock at Isaac when he was weaned, at which time Ismael was fifteen years of age at the least. For he was borne when Abraham was 86 year old, Gen. 16. and Isaac was borne, when Abraham was about a hundred, Gen. 21. 5. both which put together, make 14 years: whereto one year being added, before Isaac was weaned, makes up the age of Ismael, as before. And yet afterward in that chapter, v. 14. Hagar is said, to carry the child in her arms, and to cast him under a tree, when he and his mother were cast out of Abraham's house, which argues him to have been but a little child: whereas before he was said to be 15 years old.
The sixt allegation, is out of Gen. 21. 9. ⟨p. 242⟩1where Ismael is said to mocke at Isaak when he was wained, at which time Ismael was fifteene yeares of age at the least. For he was borne when Abraham was 86 yeare olde, Gen. 16. and Isaac was borne, when Abraham was about a hundred, Gen. 21. 5. both which put together, make 14 yeares: whereto one yeare beeing added, before Isaac was wained, makes vp the age of Ismael, as before. And yet afterward in that chapter, v. 14. Hagar is saide, to carrie the child in her armes, and to cast him vnder a tree, when he and his mother were cast out of Abrahams house, which argues him to haue beene but a little child: whereas before he was said to be 15 yeares olde.
