And as the People were to make an Heave-offering of the Tythes which the Levites received of them so the Levites were to make an Heave-offering also of the Tenth of the Tythes which the Priests receiv'd of them ver 26 27 28. So that both the Tythes from the People to the Levite and the Tythe of the Tythes from the Levite to the Priests were appointed to be made an Heave-offering to both which fully proves they were in each respect a part of the Ceremonial Law For what else but a Ceremony was either the Heaving or Waving of the Offering the difference whereof as Goodwyn in his Moses and Aaron ch 6. l. 2. shews was that the Heaving was perform'd by Elevation lifting the Oblation upward and downward the Waving was perform'd by Agitation waving it to and fro from the right Hand to the left Now since the Snake hath from Scripture brought by himself prov'd that Tythes were an Heave-offering under the Law let him Solve if he can his Contradiction in Asserting that Tythes are no part of the Typical or Ceremonial Law But to find this our Adversary in Contradictions is no wonder no more than it is to find him not sound in Expression I had almost said Heretical for so he wou'd have call'd a Position not half so Erroneous from us as is that of his which I am now about to discover It is this saying Ibid. Nothing else of the Law but what was Typical or Ceremonial was Abrogated by Christ. Pray then are the Judicials in Moses Law in force still and binding now unto Christians If an Ox that hath been known to push with his Horn in times past shou'd not be so kept in but that he should kill a Man or a Woman must the Owner of necessity be put to Death as well as the Ox Exod. 21.29 Must it still be Eye for Eye Tooth for Tooth Hand for Hand Burning for Burning Wound for Wound Stripe for Stripe as in Exod. 21.24 25. notwithstanding what Christ hath said Mat. 5.38 39 c Must the old Law of Jubilee still take place that Lands may not be Sold for ever but that they must return again from him that bought and paid for them to the Seller And to touch the Snake more nearly may not a Priest now take a Sup of Wine or strong Drink when he goes into the place he calls his Church lest he die Levit. 10.9 Or was not that a Judicial but Ceremonial Law fit enough in the Snake's Judgment to be Abrogated Ibid. They Tythes were before the Law and the Reason of them is Eternal That is Honouring the Lord with our Substance Prov. 3.9 They were no more before the Law than Circumcision and Bloody Sacrifices or Burnt-Offerings were And there is no more Reason that they shou'd continue after the Law than those which all acknowledge to be ended by Christ. And if Honouring the Lord with our Substance were only to be done by paying Tythe it would be a very mean way of Honouring the Lord to Honour Him with a Tenth Part only and our selves with Nine times as much The rest of this p. 271. and most of 272 he spends only in Quibling and Repeating his false Charges and Suggestions which are before Answer'd and Confuted from the places were they are first met with The Snake now turns to his old work of mangling Quotations and so gives for one from E. B's works p. 780. these Words Tythes as received and paid in these Days are of Anti-Christ which though so mangled are Sound and True for Edw. Burroughs shews the Reason why they are so viz. That they were brought at first into practice in the time of the Gospel by the Appointment and Ordinance of Popes and are grounded upon the Jewish Law for paying Tythes to Levi in which respects they are highly Anti-Christian Ibid. p. 273. The Snake here again repeats a Quotation which is a frequent practice with him from T. Ellwood which he had before given with some little variation in p. 246 and also in p. 254. to which Quotation I have already Answer'd p. 381 382. fore-going and therefore need not repeat it here but refer the Reader thither Ibid. p. 273. As to the Tenth Part of our Substance that was determin'd long before the Law and was the universally receiv'd Notion of the World in all Ages c. He who is not afraid or asham'd so far as I see to say any thing may if he please say that the Quantum of a Tenth was determin'd as soon as the Moon was made And also he may say if he please that it was paid to the Imaginary Man in that changeable Planet but they had need be more than common Lunaticks that believe him He begs what we deny and affirms what he cannot prove but a confident Assurance is his Talent Ibid. p. 274. He goes on in the same strain and takes for granted which is utterly false that Tythes were no Legal Ceremony and adds So neither says the Snake were they any Type of Christ. As well as that it is false in fact as I have already shewn from the Scriptures quoted by himself so also Peter Martyr as before quoted is of another Mind where he says Et enim in utroque Sacerdotio referebantur ad Christum i. e. for in each Priesthood they referr'd to Christ. So also when he asks Sed quid sibi decime volebant in utroque Sacerdotio Non sane aliud significabant quam veteres omnia sua debuisse ad Christum referre illa Ceremonia populus Christum ipsum venerabantur i. e. But what did Tythes signifie in either Priesthood Truly says he they signified nothing else but that the Ancients ought to refer all they had to Christ. By that Ceremony the People Worshipped Christ Himself Ibid. p. 274 Sacrifices and all other Types of Christ are fulfilled For He only is now our Sacrifice but He is not our Tythe An idle Whim He is not our Tythe Did Christ by his coming end no Types but those that were immediate Types of Himself But that even Tythes also were a Type of Christ to come Thomas Wilson where I have before cited him p. 420. does acknowledge they were a shadow and figure as other Oblations were and what pray is that less than a Type Ibid. As Tythes are no Legal Ceremony nor Type so neither are they Abrogated by Christ as T. Ellwood affirms but cannot prove c. Both their being a Ceremony a Type and Abrogated by Christ T. Ellwood hath not only affirm'd but prov'd also And the same is now again plainly prov'd in every part in this foregoing Discourse by Argument Scripture and Authority Ibid. We desire any one Text to shew it c. It might be Abrogated and that Abrogation shewn and prov'd from the nature of the thing without a Text. Yet so much according to the Snake's desire it happens that I have before-going shewn divers Texts for that Abrogation and particularly Heb.
