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 second Vse of Baptisme is, that it serues to be a notable meanes, of our death vnto sinne, and that three waies.
First, by putting us in mind, of mortifying the flesh, and crucifying our own corruptions. ⟨p. 334⟩For if we be baptized into the death of Christ, as Paul saith, Rom. 6. 3. then ought we not to continue in sin, but to labour by all means, as by prayer, by fasting, by the word preached, and by avoiding all occasions of offence, to kill and destroy the corruption of our nature, and the wickedness of our hearts, Gal. 5. 24.
