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 fourth, is Charity towards man. For ⟨p. 341⟩this Sacrament is a Communion, whereby all the receivers, jointly united together in love, do participate of one and the same Christ. And therefore, as no man in the old law, might offer his Sacrifice, without a forehand agreement with his brother; so no Communicant may partake with others at this Table, without reconciliation, love, and charity.
