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.

Let the reason of both be observed. This Sacrament contains many particular Signs; as not only the bread and wine, but the actions about the same. The Signs may be thus distinguished. Some of them are representing signs; some are signs applying.
Let the reason of both be obserued. This Sacrament cōtaines many particular Signes; as not onely the bread and wine, but the actions about the same. The Signes may be thus distinguished. Some of them are representing signes; some are signes applying.
Representing signs are such, as do lively set forth unto us Christ, with his benefits; as the bread and the wine, the breaking, and the pouring. Applying are those, that do appropriate the same; as, the giving, and receiving of the bread and wine. The first sort serves properly to renew our knowledge: The second, to confirm the same by application.
