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.

IV. Every petition must be grounded upon the word of God, and not framed according to the carnal conceit and fancy of mans brain. And this is the assurance that we have in him, that if we ask any thing ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, he heareth us. 1. Joh. 5. 14. Now we have a double ground of our prayer in Gods word; a commandment to make the prayer, either general or ⟨p. 267⟩particular; and a promise that our requests shall be granted.
