of_o all_o god_n give_v the_o land_n to_o all_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n except_o they_o but_o to_o the_o levite_n your_o brethren_n i_o give_v none_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o ten_o of_o all_o and_o live_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n deut._n 10.9_o 10._o and_o from_o his_o right_n in_o all_o he_o dispose_v the_o ten_o to_o they_o and_o god_n have_v declare_v only_o his_o take_v the_o right_a of_o the_o tithe_n for_o a_o time_n only_o in_o that_o incorporation_n as_o the_o truth_n affirm_v so_o long_o as_o they_o serve_v the_o tabernacle_n num._n 18.21_o but_o say_v he_o the_o same_o right_n descend_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o he_o be_v too_o short_a to_o bring_v any_o word_n for_o it_o and_o this_o be_v deny_v before_o but_o he_o bring_v in_o this_o lame_a argument_n which_o can_v go_v upon_o all_o four_o nor_o upon_o two_o thus_o so_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o the_o leviticall_a minister_n as_o minister_n not_o as_o leviticall_a and_o so_o be_v successive_o due_a to_o evangelicall_n pastor_n as_o pastor_n not_o formal_o as_o evangelicall_n by_o way_n of_o reply_n thus_o the_o levite_n by_o the_o offering_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n to_o which_o they_o serve_v be_v maintain_v but_o when_o the_o offering_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n cease_v the_o maintenance_n of_o they_o as_o minister_n must_v be_v at_o a_o end_n numb_a 18.21.31_o there_o be_v no_o law_n of_o right_a reason_n nor_o proof_n of_o scripture_n to_o maintain_v they_o as_o minister_n long_o but_o approve_v to_o the_o contrary_a heb._n 13.10_o again_o it_o be_v not_o levy_n simple_o as_o levites_n do_v accomplish_v the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o as_o they_o be_v levites_n minister_a and_o leviticall_a minister_n that_o receive_v it_o as_o the_o wage_n of_o their_o work_n num._n 18.31_o so_o say_v he_o be_v successive_o due_a to_o evangelicall_n pastor_n as_o pastor_n not_o formal_o as_o evangelicall_n and_o thus_o it_o seem_v he_o will_v imply_v a_o minister_n to_o be_v maintain_v and_o maintenance_n due_a to_o they_o neither_o do_v the_o service_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o the_o gospel_n not_o levitical_o as_o serve_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n nor_o evangelical_o as_o preach_v the_o gospel_n be_v ever_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o this_o affirm_v under_o the_o law_n or_o speak_v for_o in_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o least_o allowance_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n the_o law_n be_v against_o it_o it_o be_v the_o priest_n portion_n for_o his_o service_n psal_n 16.4_o the_o apostle_n reprehend_v it_o philip_n 3.18_o 19_o but_o his_o argument_n will_v join_v a_o pastor_n or_o minister_n in_o name_n and_o maintenance_n by_o mean_n in_o the_o substance_n together_o and_o so_o will_v contradict_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n who_o see_v this_o evil_a by_o order_n declare_v put_v it_o down_o as_o in_o all_o non-residences_a plurality_n dumb-dogge_n so_o far_o as_o god_n have_v give_v they_o light_n to_o part_v of_o that_o he_o will_v have_v they_o strip_v the_o false_a and_o antichristian_a ministry_n of_o till_o god_n have_v make_v her_o desolate_a and_o naked_a and_o because_o his_o argument_n be_v lame_a and_o can_v stand_v i_o need_v not_o stand_v long_o to_o prove_v it_o to_o halt_v or_o not_o to_o go_v ob._n it_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o god_n church_n in_o all_o age_n to_o pay_v tithe_n to_o the_o lord_n before_o the_o law_n be_v write_v abraham_n pay_v tithe_n of_o all_o gen._n 14.20_o therefore_o tithe_n be_v marrall._n a._n it_o be_v deny_v it_o can_v be_v prove_v to_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o all_o age_n before_o the_o law_n to_o pay_v tithe_n first_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v it_o to_o instance_n only_a abraham_n in_o his_o

morrality_n of_o tithe_n be_v before_o the_o law_n he_o may_v as_o well_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o same_o of_o circumcision_n and_o of_o burnt-offering_a that_o these_o be_v all_o moral_n and_o perpetual_a as_o well_o as_o tithe_n and_o plead_v for_o they_o to_o be_v which_o be_v before_o the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o tithe_n and_o observe_v by_o abraham_n and_o for_o that_o he_o say_v of_o jacob_n he_o say_v nothing_o to_o prove_v it_o for_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o jacob_n pay_v tithe_n at_o all_o in_o any_o place_n and_o for_o his_o bring_n in_o of_o jacob_n now_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n f._n further_o he_o say_v tithe_n be_v due_a &_o be_v pay_v to_o milchizedech_n by_o abraham_n r._n this_o argument_n have_v two_o part_n in_o it_o first_o tithe_n be_v due_a and_o in_o this_o he_o have_v recourse_n unto_o what_o he_o have_v say_v before_o of_o jacob_n of_o who_o he_o conceive_v it_o be_v jacob_n opinion_n that_o tithe_n be_v to_o be_v pay_v because_o jacob_n vow_v so_o to_o do_v it_o in_o which_o say_v he_o jacob_n sin_v against_o god_n if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v it_o please_v god_n that_o he_o will_v vow_v such_o a_o thing_n but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o he_o find_v that_o jacob_n do_v it_o not_o here_o he_o leave_v he_o under_o the_o first_o charge_n of_o a_o rash_a vow_n and_o second_o of_o never_o observe_v that_o mr._n knutton_n say_v be_v a_o moral_a thing_n by_o he_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o therefore_o say_v he_o in_o this_o four_o reason_n that_o he_o may_v sin_v yet_o to_o say_v something_o because_o tithe_n be_v due_a and_o so_o as_o from_o jacob_n here_o be_v a_o moral_a due_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v but_o not_o morral_o keep_v ergo_fw-la not_o so_o moral_a in_o jacob_n judgement_n to_o action_n second_o part_n of_o
