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.

There are two texts of Scripture commonly alleged, concerning the force and use of Excommunication. The first, is Matth. 18. the second, is 1. Cor. 5. The scope of them both is, to show, that the man which is excommunicated, is barred from the kingdom of heaven. For he is not to be holden a true member of the church, but as a Heathen and a Publican: and therefore is put out of Gods kingdom, and delivered up to Satan. Of this weight is Excommunication.
