how_o great_a this_o man_n be_v unto_o who_o even_o the_o patriarch_n abraham_n give_v the_o ten_o of_o the_o spoil_n and_o very_o they_o that_o be_v of_o the_o son_n of_o levi_n who_o receive_v the_o office_n of_o the_o priesthood_n have_v a_o commandment_n to_o take_v tithe_n of_o the_o people_n according_a to_o the_o law_n that_o be_v of_o their_o brethren_n though_o they_o come_v out_o of_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n but_o he_o who_o descent_n be_v not_o count_v from_o they_o receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o bless_v he_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n and_o without_o all_o contradiction_n the_o lisse_n be_v bless_v of_o the_o better_a and_o here_o man_n that_o die_v receive_v tithe_n but_o there_o he_o receive_v they_o of_o who_o it_o be_v witness_v that_o he_o live_v and_o as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v levi_n also_o who_o receive_v tithe_n pay_v tithe_n in_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o father_n when_o melchisedec_n meet_v he_o if_o therefore_o perfection_n be_v by_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n for_o under_o it_o the_o people_n receive_v the_o law_n what_o further_o need_n be_v there_o that_o another_o priesthood_n shall_v

scripture_n object_v against_o tithe_n draw_v from_o the_o close_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n 1._o it_o be_v undeniable_a from_o these_o text_n that_o abraham_n the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a be_v the_o first_o person_n we_o precise_o read_v of_o who_o give_v and_o pay_v tithe_n record_v both_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o new_a for_o his_o great_a honour_n and_o the_o imitation_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a under_o both_o testament_n 2._o that_o he_o give_v and_o pay_v tithe_n to_o melchisedec_n the_o first_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n mention_v in_o sacred_a writ_n who_o this_o melchisedec_n shall_v be_v there_o be_v great_a controversy_n among_o the_o learned_a some_o affirm_v he_o to_o be_v 91._o sem_fw-mi other_o a_o canaanitish_a king_n and_o priest_n of_o that_o name_n and_o 3._o dr._n griffith_n williams_n very_o probable_o and_o strong_o argue_v he_o to_o be_v christ_n himself_o then_o appear_v to_o abraham_n in_o his_o humane_a shape_n as_o petrus_n cunaeus_n hold_v before_o he_o i_o shall_v not_o decide_v the_o controversy_n certain_a it_o be_v he_o be_v either_o christ_n himself_o or_o a_o real_a type_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o eternal_a priesthood_n as_o the_o apostle_n oft_o resolve_v 3._o that_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o a_o far_o ancient_a better_a and_o more_o excellent_a order_n than_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n and_o that_o this_o payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v long_o before_o the_o law_n give_v by_o moses_n for_o payment_n of_o tithe_n to_o the_o levitical_a priest_n and_o before_o their_o order_n institute_v therefore_o tithe_n be_v not_o mere_o nor_o original_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n jewish_n or_o levitical_a as_o some_o rash_o now_o a_o verr_n nor_o eternal_o abolish_v as_o such_o by_o christ_n
