be_v of_o itself_o a_o holy_a thing_n but_o that_o this_o be_v it_o be_v apparent_a because_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o same_o use_n of_o this_o thing_n be_v retain_v when_o all_o ceremony_n be_v abrogate_a neither_o be_v tithe_n institute_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n i_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o tithe_n not_o of_o the_o leviticall_a assignation_n which_o assignation_n i_o grant_v be_v institute_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o the_o question_n of_o tithe_n in_o general_a be_v much_o differ_v from_o this_o assignation_n for_o tithe_n be_v before_o the_o law_n this_o assignation_n be_v not_o tithe_n be_v in_o use_n after_o the_o law_n end_v this_o be_v not_o therefore_o there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o tithe_n in_o general_a and_o this_o assignation_n as_o between_o thing_n perpetual_a and_o temporary_a last_o of_o all_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o tithe_n be_v not_o enjoin_v until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n for_o they_o be_v in_o use_n after_o that_o time_n therefore_o we_o reason_v thus_o no_o leviticall_a ceremony_n may_v be_v allow_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n any_o long_a than_o until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n but_o tithe_n be_v and_o have_v be_v by_o all_o godly_a allow_v to_o remain_v in_o the_o church_n after_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n therefore_o tithe_n be_v no_o such_o ceremony_n the_o assumption_n be_v in_o the_o manifest_a knowledge_n and_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n the_o proposition_n be_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o he_o describe_v ceremony_n in_o these_o word_n heb._n 9_o 10._o carnal_a rite_n which_o be_v enjoin_v until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n if_o those_o carnal_a rite_n be_v enjoin_v until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n then_o manifest_o it_o follow_v that_o these_o carnal_a rite_n be_v to_o be_v abolish_v at_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v retain_v in_o the_o church_n after_o that_o time_n here_o then_o of_o two_o thing_n we_o must_v choose_v one_o either_o to_o say_v tithe_n be_v no_o ceremony_n or_o to_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o christian_n of_o impiety_n in_o the_o high_a degree_n for_o appoint_v tithe_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o minister_n and_o so_o retain_v a_o ceremony_n in_o the_o church_n after_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n against_o the_o express_a doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n but_o now_o consider_v what_o answer_n be_v think_v by_o some_o to_o be_v sufficient_a this_o for_o sooth_n that_o tithe_n be_v use_v now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o as_o a_o ceremony_n but_o as_o another_o thing_n they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n say_v they_o ceremony_n but_o now_o they_o cease_v to_o be_v and_o be_v retain_v as_o some_o other_o thing_n let_v they_o be_v as_o what_o you_o list_v this_o be_v no_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v and_o to_o show_v the_o weakness_n hereof_o because_o in_o this_o answer_n be_v place_v all_o the_o hope_n of_o they_o who_o hold_v tithe_n ceremony_n let_v we_o take_v a_o little_a pain_n with_o it_o for_o the_o invaliditie_n of_o this_o poor_a shift_n be_v manifest_v we_o may_v go_v with_o more_o ease_n through_o the_o rest_n if_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a answer_n to_o say_v we_o understand_v tithe_n now_o not_o as_o a_o ceremony_n then_o sure_o nothing_o in_o any_o disputation_n can_v be_v prove_v and_o because_o this_o matter_n reach_v far_a than_o at_o the_o first_o show_v it_o seem_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v unprofitable_a by_o the_o way_n of_o a_o short_a digression_n to_o speak_v in_o general_a of_o insufficient_a answer_v that_o be_v of_o unexact_a distinguish_n where_o the_o

then_o be_v it_o certain_a that_o tithe_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o judicials_n for_o nothing_o be_v judicial_a but_o that_o which_o may_v be_v impose_v by_o the_o civil_a law_n this_o be_v

once_o which_o the_o schoolman_n so_o busy_o build_v up_o three_o we_o reason_n from_o his_o enumeration_n of_o law_n thus_o tithe_n be_v due_a by_o some_o law_n either_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n or_o by_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o prince_n constitution_n or_o by_o the_o canon_n law_n but_o abulensis_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o side_n grant_v that_o they_o be_v not_o due_a by_o the_o civil_a law_n and_o prince_n constitution_n and_o we_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v not_o due_a by_o the_o canon_n law_n because_o they_o be_v more_o due_o more_o orderly_a and_o sincere_o pay_v and_o

the_o papist_n so_o it_o stand_v no_o less_o strong_a against_o such_o as_o hold_v tithe_n prince_n constitution_n because_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o tithe_n be_v hold_v as_o orderly_o and_o due_o in_o the_o church_n before_o they_o be_v confirm_v by_o prince_n constitution_n as_o afterward_o prince_n indeed_o may_v confirm_v or_o forbid_v the_o use_n but_o they_o can_v make_v or_o take_v away_o the_o right_n wherefore_o see_v all_o that_o stand_v against_o we_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v of_o no_o force_n and_o that_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o maintenance_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n be_v nothing_o but_o alm_n that_o tithe_n be_v establish_v in_o the_o church_n as_o the_o ancient_a ordinance_n of_o god_n that_o this_o ordinance_n be_v not_o judicial_a because_o it_o be_v
