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.

Sect. 3.
The third sort of conditions, are those which are required after prayer; and they are 1specially two.
- 1Conditions after prayer.
The first is, a particular faith, whereby he that prayeth, must be assured that his particular ⟨p. 270⟩request shall be granted. Mark. 11. 24. Whatsoever ye desire when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye shall have it, and it shall be done unto you. And that he may have this particular faith, he must first have that whence it ariseth, namely, true justifying faith, standing in a persuasion of his reconciliation with God.
