A85243	Festered consciences new launced: or, tith-paying defended against William Westup and Thomas Puckle Penned by way of an epistle to every one, who had rather disburden his purse then burden his conscience. By Hierophilus, a young fencer.	Havighurst, Johannes, b. 1701.	1650 (1650)	Wing F828; ESTC R229586	22,857	29

fancy_n and_o perverse_a opinion_n for_o first_o how_o can_v this_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v allege_v for_o abolish_n of_o tithe_n when_o as_o christ_n after_o that_o approve_v of_o they_o luke_n 11.42_o and_o if_o tithe_n be_v moral_a as_o they_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o disprove_v certane_o it_o be_v not_o the_o intention_n of_o christ_n now_o to_o appoint_v a_o mintenance_n for_o his_o minister_n but_o to_o leave_v tithe_n rather_o after_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n shall_v be_v rend_v in_o twain_o as_o a_o due_a maintenance_n to_o they_o for_o tithe_n be_v assign_v by_o god_n for_o a_o time_n to_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n the_o lord_n christ_n who_o come_v to_o establish_v the_o law_n will_v not_o afore_o the_o expiration_n of_o their_o term_n take_v they_o from_o

be_v that_o he_o be_v give_v to_o hospitality_n which_o never_o any_o almsman_n can_v well_o be_v the_o other_o be_v that_o he_o provide_v for_o his_o family_n unless_o you_o will_v have_v he_o worse_o than_o a_o infidel_n these_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v with_o the_o people_n free_a contribution_n when_o my_o eye_n see_v it_o i_o shall_v believe_v it_o let_v i_o but_o instance_n in_o the_o

to_o be_v due_a to_o gospell-minister_n from_o a_o similitude_n his_o meaning_n be_v evident_a to_o be_v this_o as_o they_o that_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n and_o serve_v at_o the_o altar_n have_v certain_a maintenance_n even_o so_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v have_v a_o certain_a maintenance_n now_o i_o pray_v do_v the_o priest_n and_o levite_n live_v upon_o the_o free_a contribution_n of_o the_o people_n your_o argument_n prove_v their_o allot_v portion_n then_o certain_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o with_o the_o minister_n for_o god_n have_v ordain_v it_o so_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o the_o magistrate_n to_o ordain_v it_o so_o i_o remember_v the_o pope_n be_v once_o very_o bountiful_a to_o the_o king_n of_o

be_v always_o provide_v that_o you_o will_v pay_v it_o they_o i_o conceive_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v more_o valid_a then_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o man_n for_o what_o he_o command_v it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o pay_v and_o the_o magistrate_n to_o enforce_v they_o further_o proceed_v have_v thus_o grant_v their_o own_o argument_n without_o proof_n to_o raise_v a_o
