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 eight Allegation. Exod. 7. it is said 1v. 19. that all the waters in Egypt were turned into blood, by Moses and Aaron: and yet v. 22. it is said, that the Magicians of Egypt turned water into blood also: which seems to imply an absurdity, considering that all the waters were turned into blood before.

Ans. Some answer thus: that the water which the Magicians turned, was newly digged out of new pits, and therefore they understand the former of all the waters that were seen, and that they only were turned into blood. Others answer more fitly, that the waters which the Magicians changed, were fetched out of Goshen, from amongst the Israelites, where the waters remained pure, and were not turned, as the other were. Either of these answers may satisfy, but specially the latter.
