scripture_n which_o no_o man_n have_v at_o any_o time_n as_o yet_o prove_v for_o it_o shall_v be_v prove_v by_o scripture_n that_o tithe_n be_v a_o leviticall_a ceremony_n and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o once_o be_v a_o ceremony_n may_v be_v retain_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o we_o have_v show_v the_o contradictary_n to_o both_o that_o tithe_n be_v never_o a_o ceremony_n by_o the_o description_n of_o a_o ceremony_n and_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o ceremony_n may_v not_o be_v retain_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christian_n because_o it_o be_v enjoin_v only_o until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n and_o therefore_o we_o conclude_v this_o answer_n be_v every_o way_n weak_a and_o no_o sufficient_a exception_n against_o our_o cause_n but_o for_o the_o latter_a part_n thereof_o it_o may_v be_v thus_o object_v some_o thing_n be_v ceremony_n which_o yet_o be_v or_o may_v be_v lawful_o retain_v among_o christian_n as_o not_o to_o sow_v a_o vineyard_n with_o diverse_a kind_n of_o seed_n not_o to_o plough_v with_o a_o ox_n and_o a_o ass_n not_o to_o wear_v a_o garment_n of_o diverse_a sort_n as_o woollen_a and_o linen_n together_o deut._n 22._o i_o answer_v these_o scripture_n deut._n 22._o do_v not_o speak_v of_o ceremony_n but_o of_o judicial_o of_o this_o answer_n there_o be_v these_o reason_n first_o throughout_o that_o chapter_n he_o speak_v of_o thing_n judicial_a and_o in_o the_o chapter_n next_o before_o as_o also_o in_o that_o which_o next_o follow_v he_o declare_v precept_n judicial_a of_o all_o sort_n concern_v matter_n of_o state_n when_o they_o go_v to_o war_n touch_v public_a affair_n touch_v private_a touch_v husbandry_n touch_v a_o man_n comely_a carry_v of_o himself_o abroad_o and_o at_o home_n for_o judicial_o reach_v not_o only_o to_o the_o great_a affair_n of_o a_o state_n but_o even_o to_o a_o comeliness_n in_o husbandry_n and_o apparel_n of_o which_o civil_a comeliness_n these_o precept_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o in_o a_o civil_a state_n well_o and_o exact_o govern_v to_o be_v receive_v for_o civil_a comeliness_n and_o a_o exact_a order_n be_v to_o be_v settle_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o state_n another_o reason_n that_o these_o precept_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o judicial_o not_o of_o ceremony_n be_v because_o these_o thing_n can_v agree_v to_o the_o description_n of_o a_o ceremony_n out_o of_o the_o apostle_n word_n for_o neither_o be_v these_o carnal_a tip_n of_o holy_a thing_n neither_o be_v they_o institute_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n again_o it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v that_o a_o ceremony_n be_v negative_a as_o a_o precept_n may_v be_v for_o they_o be_v not_o set_v down_o in_o negative_n this_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v but_o in_o affirmative_n in_o do_v or_o use_v for_o a_o ceremony_n be_v positive_o to_o represent_v a_o holy_a thing_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o apostle_n call_v they_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 24._o moreover_o in_o these_o and_o such_o like_a precept_n we_o observe_v that_o albeit_o some_o signification_n may_v well_o be_v draw_v from_o they_o yet_o that_o will_v not_o suffice_v to_o prove_v they_o ceremony_n for_o from_o that_o which_o be_v write_v deut._n 25._o thou_o shall_v not_o mussel_n the_o mouth_n of_o the_o ox_n that_o tread_v out_o thy_o corn_n the_o apostle_n 1._o cor._n 9_o 9_o draw_v a_o signification_n and_o thereby_o a_o strong_a reason_n for_o maintenance_n of_o minister_n and_o yet_o i_o suppose_v no_o man_n will_v hold_v that_o precept_n to_o be_v ceremonial_a for_o it_o be_v judicial_a altogether_o because_o it_o be_v of_o thing_n in_o common_a use_n therefore_o certain_o judicial_a even_o so_o be_v these_o precept_n deut._n 22._o to_o be_v understand_v wherefore_o the_o contrary_a apparaunce_n be_v remove_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o conclusion_n will_v better_o appear_v tithe_n be_v no_o ceremony_n now_o as_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o any_o without_o much_o learning_n to_o say_v tithe_n be_v ceremony_n and_o to_o rest_v there_o without_o reason_n without_o discuss_v the_o manner_n and_o cause_n thereof_o so_o if_o any_o will_v enter_v judicious_o into_o the_o careful_a and_o conscionable_a search_n hereof_o and_o open_a unto_o we_o the_o signification_n of_o this_o ceremony_n and_o show_v we_o the_o proper_a end_n and_o use_v thereof_o and_o prove_v with_o one_o sound_a reason_n that_o tithe_n be_v institute_v to_o signify_v something_o only_o for_o a_o time_n as_o all_o ceremony_n be_v i_o shall_v for_o my_o part_n think_v my_o self_n much_o behold_n to_o he_o otherwise_o if_o thou_o shall_v tell_v i_o a_o thousand_o time_n it_o be_v a_o ceremony_n though_o this_o be_v true_a that_o thou_o say_v yet_o because_o thou_o know_v not_o the_o reason_n and_o ground_n thereof_o to_o thou_o it_o be_v as_o a_o untruth_n he_o who_o hold_v this_o a_o ceremony_n aught_o to_o bring_v a_o approve_a reason_n from_o the_o word_n and_o declare_v the_o true_a end_n and_o use_v of_o the_o ceremony_n which_o will_v open_v the_o signification_n thereof_o till_o that_o be_v do_v lie_v that_o say_v it_o be_v a_o ceremony_n speak_v without_o understanding_n we_o shall_v have_v less_o trouble_n to_o disprove_v the_o other_o opinion_n judicials_n which_o hold_v tithe_n judicials_n because_o it_o be_v hold_v with_o much_o less_o show_v of_o reason_n for_o to_o be_v brief_a herein_o we_o reason_v thus_o no_o holy_a thing_n be_v judicials_n but_o all_o tithe_n be_v holy_a thing_n therefore_o no_o tithe_n judicials_n the_o proposition_n of_o this_o syllogism_n be_v manifest_a by_o that_o distinction_n which_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v between_o thing_n holy_a and_o common_a holy_a thing_n be_v take_v from_o common_a use_n which_o thing_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n either_o such_o as_o the_o lord_n separate_v from_o common_a use_n as_o the_o sabbath_n and_o tithe_n and_o such_o like_a or_o such_o as_o man_n separate_v from_o common_a use_n to_o the_o lord_n of_o which_o those_o word_n be_v levit._n 27._o 28._o nothing_o separate_v from_o common_a use_n that_o a_o man_n do_v separate_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o that_o he_o have_v may_v be_v sell_v nor_o redeem_v and_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v thing_n separate_v from_o common_a use_n be_v expound_v separate_v from_o man_n thus_o be_v all_o holy_a thing_n separate_v from_o common_a use_n or_o from_o man_n but_o all_o judicials_n be_v of_o thing_n in_o common_a use_n not_o separate_v from_o man_n therefore_o no_o judicials_n be_v holy_a thing_n no_o holy_a thing_n judicials_n by_o this_o which_o we_o have_v say_v the_o question_n i_o hope_n be_v clear_v which_o be_v move_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n how_o tithe_n stand_v under_o the_o law_n it_o appear_v that_o then_o they_o be_v not_o as_o ceremony_n nor_o judicials_n but_o a_o perpetual_a ordinance_n and_o part_n of_o the_o moral_a truth_n before_o we_o pass_v from_o this_o place_n i_o will_v add_v a_o word_n of_o the_o antiquity_n of_o these_o two_o opinion_n which_o i_o have_v last_o refute_v the_o judgement_n of_o former_a age_n be_v a_o great_a presumption_n and_o man_n of_o judgement_n will_v very_o hardly_o depart_v from_o a_o ancient_a opinion_n without_o great_a reason_n now_o as_o the_o opinion_n which_o i_o seek_v to_o confirm_v be_v ancient_a and_o have_v be_v lield_n by_o the_o best_a learned_a in_o the_o church_n from_o the_o begin_n till_o these_o late_a year_n so_o those_o other_o two_o opinion_n last_o speak_v of_o be_v both_o new_a though_o the_o one_o somewhat_o elder_a than_o the_o other_o that_o tithe_n be_v ceremony_n be_v a_o opinion_n devise_v about_o a_o hundred_o year_n since_o not_o above_o the_o other_o

but_o one_o thing_n i_o wish_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o after_o the_o pope_n have_v through_o corruption_n make_v tithe_n away_o from_o their_o proper_a church_n by_o impropriation_n then_o forsooth_o to_o salve_v this_o corruption_n lest_o it_o may_v have_v be_v think_v open_a sacrilege_n these_o device_n be_v first_o invent_v this_o i_o think_v good_a to_o note_v that_o it_o may_v be_v
