that_o god_n our_o of_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o increase_n of_o cattle_n that_o be_v worthy_a of_o he_o and_o fit_a for_o man_n use_n shall_v have_v a_o ten_o both_o in_o the_o

after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o jew_n policy_n the_o good_a christian_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o can_v get_v any_o outward_a form_n of_o a_o church_n &_o peace_n from_o persecution_n receive_v it_o in_o the_o very_a quotitie_n as_o a_o thing_n no_o less_o belong_v to_o their_o minister_n than_o it_o do_v appertain_v to_o the_o priest_n &_o levite_n of_o the_o

ecclesiastique_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o this_o number_n come_v from_o the_o judicial_a part_n of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o fit_a proportion_n to_o maintain_v one_o tribe_n out_o of_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o other_o eleven_o tribe_n for_o that_o this_o number_n or_o quotitie_n be_v reveal_v to_o be_v god_n long_o before_o the_o law_n and_o before_o there_o be_v any_o such_o

before_o there_o be_v any_o law_n or_o ceremony_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n or_o prime_n christian_n when_o as_o they_o do_v first_o change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o divine_a
