gospel_n ministry_n succeed_v to_o the_o levite_n who_o receive_v tithe_n but_o be_v not_o priest_n much_o more_o colour_n have_v the_o chorister_n singing-man_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o rabble_n bring_v into_o the_o late_a cathedral_n to_o claim_v they_o and_o only_o to_o pay_v out_o a_o ten_o part_n to_o the_o priest_n as_o the_o levite_n do_v other_o say_v that_o abraham_n pay_v tithe_n to_o melchisedec_n which_o be_v before_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o christ_n jesus_n be_v make_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n abraham_n return_v from_o the_o

payment_n of_o tithe_n unless_o it_o oblige_v the_o soldier_n for_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o abraham_n pay_v the_o ten_o part_n of_o his_o own_o increase_n nor_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o

either_o of_o these_o example_n more_o bind_v then_o any_o other_o of_o the_o good_a act_n that_o either_o of_o these_o holy_a man_n do_v object_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n say_v you_o tithe_n min●_n etc._n etc._n these_o thing_n you_o ought_v not_o to_o leave_v undo_v it_o be_v answer_v that_o jesus_n christ_n then_o speak_v to_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o time_n when_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n be_v not_o end_v who_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v of_o force_n till_o he_o be_v offer_v up_o and_o say_v it_o be_v finish_v but_o though_o divine_a right_n have_v be_v of_o long_o pretend_v few_o be_v now_o leave_v who_o will_v only_o stand_v to_o it_o and_o the_o generality_n both_o of_o lawyer_n priest_n and_o people_n be_v of_o a_o contrary_a mind_n for_o if_o tithe_n be_v absolute_o due_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n no_o custom_n usage_n prescription_n privilege_n or_o popish_a dispensation_n can_v acquit_v from_o payment_n of_o the_o utmost_a penny_n of_o the_o ten_o part_n but_o scarce_o the_o ten_o person_n in_o england_n pay_v tithe_v in_o kind_n and_o many_o plead_v they_o be_v tythe-free_a and_o pay_v none_o at_o all_o and_o other_o very_o small_a matter_n and_o so_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n deny_v tithe_n to_o be_v due_a by_o god_n law_n again_o if_o tithe_n be_v due_a by_o

that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n ought_v to_o live_v of_o the_o gospel_n let_v he_o that_o be_v teach_v communicate_v to_o he_o that_o teach_v and_o the_o like_a and_o to_o such_o i_o say_v that_o not_o
