A21107 The maintenance of the ministery VVherein is plainely declared how the ministers of the Gospell ought to be maintayned: and the true and ancient practise of our Church in this case, shewed to be agreeable to the word of God, and all antiquity. Necessary in these times to be read and considered of all sorts of Christians, but specially of such as liue in townes and citties. By Richard Eburne, minister of the word.

turn_v we_o back_o therefore_o to_o 1._o cor._n 9_o where_o upon_o another_o occasion_n he_o do_v insist_v upon_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o minister_n maintenance_n there_o ver_fw-la 13._o take_v

i_o the_o apostle_n plain_o teach_v that_o the_o same_o measure_n and_o the_o same_o manner_n of_o maintenance_n which_o they_o have_v that_o once_o serve_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o attend_v at_o

be_v evident_a by_o this_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o such_o as_o they_o be_v we_o must_v be_v from_o this_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n let_v we_o proceed_v to_o another_o &_o that_o be_v heb._n 7._o where_o he_o make_v mention_v very_o often_o of_o abrah_n his_o pay_a tithe_n to_o melch_v which_o though_o he_o do_v to_o another_o end_n yet_o by_o those_o his_o word_n be_v about_o another_o matter_n he_o show_v withal_o that_o tithe_n pertain_v unto_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o once_o they_o do_v to_o that_o of_o the_o temple_n first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o apostle_n word_n that_o melchizedec_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o christ_n whence_o it_o follow_v that_o christ_n in_o the_o person_n of_o melchizedec_n receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n &_o that_o they_o be_v due_a no_o less_o to_o his_o priesthood_n then_o to_o that_o of_o melch._n but_o if_o christ_n have_v right_a to_o tithe_n before_o the_o law_n have_v he_o not_o the_o same_o right_n also_o since_o the_o law_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o his_o priesthood_n be_v perpetual_a so_o must_v his_o right_n be_v too_o far_o if_o we_o consider_v of_o melch._n in_o his_o own_o person_n that_o be_v not_o as_o a_o figure_n of_o christ_n but_o as_o the_o priest_n of_o god_n if_o melch._n have_v right_a to_o receive_v they_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o god_n who_o priest_n he_o be_v how_o much_o more_o christ_n who_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o same_o order_n that_o melchizedec_n be_v touch_v abraham_n we_o may_v consider_v of_o he_o either_o as_o a_o private_a man_n or_o as_o a_o patriarch_n as_o a_o private_a person_n in_o pay_v tithe_n what_o other_o thing_n do_v he_o but_o what_o be_v every_o godly_a man_n duty_n to_o do_v which_o say_v a_o certain_a learned_a writer_n be_v so_o report_v that_o thereby_o it_o may_v sufficient_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v a_o custom_n or_o ordinary_a thing_n among_o the_o godly_a of_o those_o time_n and_o who_o can_v show_v we_o that_o the_o godly_a be_v free_v from_o that_o duty_n since_o the_o law_n which_o they_o owe_v to_o god_n before_o or_o that_o god_n which_o accept_v tithe_n as_o his_o sacred_a right_n then_o have_v reject_v it_o now_o as_o a_o patriarch_n and_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a if_o we_o consider_v he_o do_v not_o he_o the_o father_n by_o perform_v that_o duty_n show_v in_o what_o step_v his_o child_n ought_v to_o walk_v who_o offspring_n we_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o by_o that_o which_o be_v the_o sure_a side_n by_o faith_n but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o we_o that_o be_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n very_o much_o every_o way_n for_o see_v we_o be_v in_o christ_n steed_n 1._o cor._n 5._o 20._o &_o he_o that_o receive_v

in_o the_o law_n as_o god_n right_a for_o their_o service_n at_o the_o altar_n such_o aught_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n receive_v now_o in_o christ_n behalf_n for_o their_o service_n to_o he_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o as_o god_n assign_v it_o unto_o his_o levit_n then_o so_o have_v christ_n who_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o that_o title_n of_o lord_n be_v common_o distinguish_v from_o god_n the_o father_n unto_o his_o minister_n now_o and_o as_o abrah_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v then_o to_o pay_v the_o ten_o to_o the_o priest_n of_o god_n as_o to_o god_n himself_o so_o all_o the_o faithful_a now_o be_v to_o pay_v they_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o to_o christ_n himself_o now_o that_o i_o have_v show_v
