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.

no_o less_o liable_a to_o this_o duty_n and_o bind_v to_o contribute_v towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o their_o minister_n than_o those_o that_o live_v by_o husbandry_n &_o tillage_n by_o the_o

they_o ought_v to_o pay_v little_a or_o nothing_o but_o that_o therein_o they_o do_v deceive_v themselves_o these_o word_n of_o our_o text_n do_v make_v it_o as_o apparent_a as_o the_o light_n at_o

by_o that_o and_o those_o kind_n of_o good_n they_o must_v help_v to_o maintain_v he_o too_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v speak_v it_o indifferent_o of_o the_o one_o sort_n of_o good_n aswell_o as_o

this_o use_n be_v it_o not_o the_o same_o to_o one_o sort_n as_o well_o as_o to_o another_o if_o townsman_n have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o teach_v as_o they_o in_o the_o country_n or_o rather_o more_o if_o they_o can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o a_o minister_n then_o the_o other_o why_o shall_v they_o not_o maintain_v he_o aswell_o as_o the_o other_o 3._o go_v to_o the_o rule_n of_o equity_n which_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o labourer_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o hire_n and_o if_o by_o that_o rule_n the_o townsman_n or_o tradesman_n be_v bind_v to_o pay_v he_o that_o work_v for_o he_o in_o his_o shop_n his_o house_n or_o other_o business_n which_o concern_v his_o body_n no_o less_o than_o the_o husbandman_n be_v and_o do_v and_o will_v give_v as_o good_a wage_n for_o such_o cause_n as_o he_o why_o shall_v he_o not_o pay_v his_o minister_n likewise_o that_o labour_n for_o his_o soul_n and_o do_v his_o best_a work_n as_o large_o and_o bountiful_o as_o the_o husbandman_n do_v 4._o look_v upon_o the_o necessity_n and_o state_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o have_v not_o he_o that_o live_v in_o the_o town_n need_v of_o asmuch_o maintenance_n as_o he_o that_o live_v in_o the_o country_n nay_o rather_o have_v he_o not_o need_v of_o much_o more_o for_o need_v not_o his_o study_n to_o be_v great_a be_v not_o housekeeping_n be_v not_o diet_n and_o apparel_n more_o chargeable_a unto_o he_o be_v there_o not_o great_a cause_n of_o hospitality_n why_o then_o where_o there_o be_v great_a need_n shall_v there_o be_v mean_a help_n and_o where_o be_v most_o use_n of_o maintenance_n there_o least_o be_v yield_v 5._o beside_o all_o this_o consider_v we_o whence_o all_o man_n have_v their_o good_n be_v it_o not_o god_n that_o same_o god_n that_o give_v his_o blessing_n aswell_o upon_o the_o labour_n of_o they_o that_o live_v by_o trade_n or_o handicraft_n as_o upon_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o make_v man_n to_o prospe●_fw-la whether_o it_o be_v by_o sea_n
