fowl_n or_o the_o like_a which_o be_v to_o relieve_v their_o family_n from_o any_o creature_n but_o as_o he_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n not_o call_v nor_o make_v of_o man_n so_o he_o be_v maintain_v by_o he_o and_o not_o by_o man_n and_o he_o be_v like_o to_o he_o that_o call_v he_o a_o bountiful_a man_n ready_a to_o give_v ready_a to_o bless_v and_o to_o relieve_v other_o in_o their_o way_n as_o appear_v in_o what_o he_o do_v to_o abram_n and_o his_o army_n in_o the_o way_n he_o meet_v they_o with_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o give_v they_o free_o and_o ask_v

or_o tillage_n nor_o ever_o demand_v or_o sue_v or_o take_v by_o force_n any_o part_n of_o any_o man_n good_n upon_o any_o pretence_n whatsoever_o so_o here_o be_v melchisedecks_n order_n if_o you_o be_v of_o it_o and_o his_o child_n than_o you_o will_v own_v it_o and_o it_o will_v own_v you_o and_o we_o shall_v own_v it_o also_o in_o you_o and_o in_o this_o order_n we_o find_v he_o who_o be_v of_o that_o priesthood_n christ_n jesus_n a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o his_o order_n who_o to_o we_o be_v a_o example_n for_o ever_o and_o all_o that_o walk_v contrary_a we_o deny_v who_o say_v

free_a not_o covet_v any_o man_n gold_n money_n or_o apparel_n nor_o ever_o in_o the_o least_o do_v mention_v tithe_n to_o themselves_o or_o make_v any_o yearly_a bargain_n about_o carnal_a thing_n whatsoever_o but_o preach_v free_o and_o receive_v free_o or_o nothing_o and_o this_o in_o scripture_n we_o find_v to_o be_v the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_n and_o the_o order_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o apostle_n if_o you_o can_v receive_v it_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o we_o see_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n who_o never_o hear_v god_n voice_n run_v and_o inquire_v who_o can_v get_v the_o great_a yearly_a stipend_n tithe_n or_o augmentation_n and_o tear_v people_n body_n and_o estate_n if_o they_o get_v it_o not_o according_a to_o the_o havoc_n that_o have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o priest_n of_o this_o nation_n in_o these_o late_a year_n this_o be_v never_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedeck_n christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n nor_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n neither_o who_o have_v a_o law_n for_o tithe_n but_o the_o order_n of_o eli_n son_n who_o be_v son_n of_o belial_n who_o know_v not_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o send_v their_o servant_n to_o take_v it_o by_o
