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 they_o but_o second_o why_o do_v they_o not_o as_o well_o argue_v in_o respect_n of_o apparel_n that_o minister_n ought_v to_o wear_v no_o scrip_n or_o shoe_n that_o chapter_n will_v as_o strong_o prove_v that_o as_o what_o they_o will_v prove_v out_o of_o it_o but_o they_o i_o s●e_v be_v loath_a trade_n shall_v fail_v in_o that_o respect_n their_o own_o interest_n be_v too_o much_o concern_v in_o it_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o they_o may_v have_v their_o will_n the_o minister_n shall_v have_v neither_o scrip_n or_o shoe_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o 3._o be_v it_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n that_o all_o his_o minister_n shall_v be_v altogether_o peripatoticke_v travail_v from_o city_n to_o city_n without_o any_o abide_a place_n live_v whole_o at_o other_o man_n table_n sure_o i_o think_v not_o be_v please_v to_o look_v into_o titus_n 1.5_o and_o you_o may_v see_v that_o elder_n be_v to_o be_v ordain_v in_o every_o city_n god_n will_v have_v fix_v star_n in_o his_o church_n and_o every_o bishop_n must_v be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o rule_v his_o own_o house_n well_o 1_o tim._n 3.4_o therefore_o sure_o he_o may_v have_v a_o house_n of_o his_o own_o and_o i_o pray_v resolve_v i_o another_o question_n if_o such_o a_o free_a contribution_n be_v only_o the_o maintenance_n that_o a_o bishop_n ought_v to_o have_v how_o can_v he_o be_v give_v to_o hospitality_n or_o where_o be_v any_o maintenance_n at_o all_o appoint_v by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o that_o 10_o of_o luke_n for_o his_o wife_n and_o child_n be_v it_o his_o intent_n they_o shall_v be_v starve_v it_o be_v lawful_a enough_o for_o he_o to_o marry_v 1_o tim._n 3.2_o i_o pray_v consider_v these_o thing_n here_o be_v two_o chargeable_a duty_n impose_v upon_o a_o minister_n the_o one_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 poor_a man_n case_n which_o god_n own_v for_o his_o to_o who_o he_o have_v command_v charity_n to_o be_v enlarge_v yet_o how_o be_v the_o magistrate_n often_o enforce_v to_o wring_v out_o of_o many_o man_n purse_n diminutive_a livelihood_n for_o he_o and_o his_o family_n and_o do_v you_o then_o think_v it_o will_v come_v in_o so_o free_o to_o the_o minister_n sure_o you_o be_v mistake_v let_v i_o compare_v one_o scripture_n more_o with_o your_o aforecited_a place_n and_o see_v how_o they_o agree_v 1_o cor._n 9.14_o even_o so_o have_v the_o lord_n ordain_v that_o they_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n shall_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n certain_o if_o you_o mark_v well_o these_o word_n even_o so_o have_v no_o reference_n to_o your_o recite_v place_n from_o whence_o you_o shall_v draw_v your_o way_n of_o maintain_v minister_n i_o take_v it_o otherwise_o and_o that_o this_o so_o have_v not_o a_o unlimited_a exposition_n but_o declare_v a_o certainty_n of_o maintenance_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v for_o his_o gospell-minister_n do_v but_o consult_v with_o the_o context_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v how_o the_o apostle_n prove_v a_o certain_a maintenance_n 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 france_n and_o do_v give_v england_n to_o he_o but_o for_o all_o that_o he_o be_v to_o conquer_v it_o afore_o he_o can_v have_v it_o do_v you_o think_v god_n give_v his_o minister_n their_o maintenance_n thus_o you_o will_v make_v his_o gift_n which_o he_o have_v make_v absolute_a to_o be_v conditional_a that_o god_n have_v ordain_v a_o maintenance_n for_o minister_n yet_o it_o must_v 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 objection_n but_o some_o may_v say_v how_o if_o the_o people_n will_v contribute_v nothing_o and_o they_o answer_v it_o as_o wise_o that_o it_o signify_v to_o they_o that_o their_o ministry_n and_o doctrine_n be_v much_o to_o be_v question_v that_o it_o work_v no_o better_a effect_n and_o fruit_n this_o be_v full_a of_o reason_n but_o it_o be_v to_o prove_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o true_a church_n where_o be_v sufficient_a effect_n this_o way_n of_o its_o ministry_n all_o seducer_n may_v well_o argue_v thus_o because_o common_o they_o have_v most_o follower_n aaron_n golden_a calf_n want_v nothing_o that_o the_o people_n can_v afford_v exod._n 32.3_o but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o rather_o with_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o christ_n though_o the_o corinthian_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o paul_n apostleship_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o find_v this_o effect_n of_o his_o ministry_n among_o they_o 1_o cor._n 9_o and_o 4._o peter_n do_v catch_v many_o fish_n but_o i_o read_v but_o of_o one_o that_o come_v up_o with_o money_n in_o its_o mouth_n the_o entertainment_n that_o the_o world_n give_v to_o the_o minister_n prove_v neither_o pro_fw-la nor_o con_v christ_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o send_v they_o out_o as_o lamb_n among_o wolf_n but_o by_o your_o argument_n if_o you_o see_v a_o lamb_n worry_v by_o a_o wolf_n you_o will_v therefore_o judge_v it_o be_v no_o lamb_n new-vaumped_n error_n have_v need_n be_v better_o stitch_v further_o to_o illustrate_v this_o they_o say_v christ_n make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o where_o his_o doctrine_n be_v receive_v his_o minister_n shall_v have_v maintenance_n nor_o do_v i_o neither_o for_o i_o suppose_v if_o morality_n teach_v man_n to_o allow_v maintenance_n to_o the_o minister_n divinity_n much_o more_o but_o to_o answer_v their_o answer_n more_o full_o all_o this_o time_n they_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o tha●_n effect_v the_o ministry_n have_v wrought_v upon_o this_o commonwealth_n in_o tha●_n our_o
