unworthy_a of_o answer_n yet_o be_v certify_v by_o the_o friend_n that_o bring_v it_o that_o it_o pass_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n among_o many_o of_o our_o gentry_n in_o these_o northern_a part_n

therefore_o the_o instance_n of_o melchisedeck_n and_o jacob_n bring_v to_o prove_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o tithe_n prove_v nothing_o in_o this_o question_n that_o they_o be_v of_o general_a and_o

of_o all_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v in_o his_o other_o book_n but_o only_o so_o much_o as_o may_v show_v the_o continue_a success_n of_o god_n church_n from_o family_n to_o family_n until_o such_o
