A87828	Seven questions about the controversie betweene the Church of England, and the Separatists and Anabaptists, breifely [sic] discussed. 1. Whether is the Church of England as it now stands a true church? 2. Whether the Church of England be a right nationall church? 3. Whether are the ministers in the Church of England sent of God, and so are true ministers or not? 4. Whether is the baptisme of infants a true and lawfull baptisme or no? 5. Whether it be lawfull to be rebaptized or not? 6. Whether it is lawfull to separate from all the publike ordinances and Christian assemblies in our English church, because there are some defects in discipline, and in other things amongst us? 7. Whether is it necessarie to demolish our churches (steeple-houses as the Separatists call them,) and to build them in other places, because they were built by idolators for idolatrous worship, were abused with images, and dedicated to saints? By Immanuel Knutton, preacher of Gods word at Beeston in Nottingham shire [sic].	Knutton, Immanuel, d. 1655.	1645 (1645)	Wing K744; Thomason E25_20; ESTC R4217	31,540	40

a_o ten_o part_n of_o all_o why_o be_v this_o compare_v with_o leviticall_a tithe_n which_o be_v pay_v yearly_a if_o this_o be_v not_o also_o usual_a and_o continual_a the_o apostle_n will_v not_o use_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o one_o only_a action_n unless_o it_o show_v the_o common_a use_n and_o practice_v how_o tithe_n be_v then_o pay_v to_o the_o priest_n as_o by_o common_a use_n and_o practice_v they_o be_v afterward_o pay_v to_o the_o levite_n beside_o i_o think_v with_o judicious_a calvin_n that_o abraham_n pay_v tithe_n not_o of_o the_o spoil_n but_o of_o his_o own_o good_n because_o it_o be_v say_v gen._n 14.22.23_o that_o abraham_n have_v lift_v up_o his_o hand_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o take_v so_o much_o as_o a_o thread_n or_o shoe_n latchet_n of_o that_o which_o be_v take_v which_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o king_n of_o sodom_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o he_o pay_v no_o tithe_n of_o the_o spoil_n see_v he_o will_v not_o account_v any_o part_n thereof_o his_o own_o the_o next_o testimony_n before_o the_o law_n be_v gen._n 28.20.21_o etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n of_o the_o godly_a before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v that_o tithe_n ought_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n for_o otherwise_o jacob_n do_v offend_v unless_o he_o know_v that_o this_o thing_n please_v god_n as_o be_v appoint_v by_o he_o object_n but_o jacob_n vow_v a_o vow_n to_o give_v the_o ten_o now_o no_o moral_a thing_n may_v be_v vow_v because_o we_o be_v bind_v without_o a_o vow_n to_o perform_v such_o thing_n answer_n yet_o its_o lawful_a to_o vow_v moral_a duty_n which_o god_n command_v we_o to_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o more_o careful_a obedience_n to_o excite_v our_o dulness_n to_o prevent_v omission_n the_o holy_a practice_n of_o the_o godly_a prove_v it_o 2_o chron._n 15.12_o 13_o 14_o psal_n 119.106_o psal_n 50.14_o psal_n 56.12_o and_o though_o ceremonial_a thing_n may_v be_v vow_v under_o the_o law_n yet_o no_o otherwise_o but_o as_o they_o draw_v to_o some_o moral_a duty_n beside_o the_o other_o part_n of_o jacob_n vow_n be_v not_o ceremonial_a but_o moral_a gen._n 28.20_o 21_o 22._o that_o god_n shall_v be_v his_o god_n this_o be_v vow_v by_o he_o on_o like_o condition_n with_o tithe_n and_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v jacob_n may_v as_o well_o vow_v tithe_n to_o god_n for_o ever_o as_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v his_o god_n jacob_n in_o this_o vow_n i_o think_v vow_v not_o for_o himself_o alone_o but_o for_o his_o seed_n that_o shall_v succeed_v because_o the_o vision_n which_o jacob_n see_v concern_v all_o his_o posterity_n so_o do_v his_o vow_n god_n promise_v many_o blessing_n to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n he_o vow_v holy_a service_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n for_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n those_o that_o will_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n by_o jacobs_n ladder_n which_o be_v christ_n john_n 1.51_o must_v be_v tie_v to_o jacobs_n vow_n for_o jacobs_n vow_n answer_v the_o vision_n while_o any_o part_n of_o the_o vision_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v which_o will_v be_v till_o christ_n second_o come_v so_o long_o shall_v tithe_n be_v god_n inheritance_n because_o as_o i_o say_v his_o vow_n concern_v his_o seed_n as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o himself_o and_o those_o be_v his_o seed_n who_o be_v more_o of_o his_o faith_n then_o his_o flesh_n for_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o here_o be_v bless_v in_o jacobs_n seed_n be_v not_o all_o of_o jacobs_n flesh_n but_o even_o japhets_n seed_n come_v to_o the_o tent_n of_o sem_fw-mi the_o gentile_n call_v therefore_o all_o subject_n by_o jacobs_n vow_n to_o tithing_n rom._n 9_o 6.7.8_o object_n but_o we_o read_v not_o of_o the_o constant_a pay_v of_o tithe_n nor_o of_o any_o law_n for_o tithing_n till_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n numb_a 18._o answer_n neither_o do_v we_o read_v of_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n from_o the_o creation_n till_o exod._n 16._o yet_o doubtless_o the_o people_n of_o god_n observe_v it_o but_o as_o concern_v tithe_n we_o have_v here_o two_o example_n abraham_n and_o jacob_n reas_n 4_o because_o tithe_n be_v due_a and_o be_v pay_v to_o melchizedeke_n by_o abraham_n and_o so_o ought_v to_o be_v pay_v to_o christ_n or_o else_o christ_n shall_v fail_v in_o some_o thing_n to_o be_v as_o melchizedeke_n be_v which_o may_v not_o be_v grant_v see_v he_o be_v after_o his_o order_n as_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n after_o aaron_n order_n and_o so_o be_v in_o every_o thing_n as_o aaron_n now_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o christ_n must_v be_v pay_v to_o his_o servant_n the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n heb._n 7.1_o to_o 11._o from_o this_o place_n consider_v these_o thing_n 1._o the_o scope_n of_o this_o place_n be_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o greatness_n and_o the_o honourable_a condition_n of_o melchizedek_n and_o consequent_o of_o jesus_n christ_n 2._o melchisedeck_n receive_v of_o tithe_n the_o apostle_n make_v a_o special_a argument_n of_o his_o greatness_n viz._n his_o receive_a tithe_n of_o abraham_n who_o offspring_n the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n take_v tithe_n 3._o melchizedek_n be_v as_o great_a as_o ever_o he_o be_v and_o so_o in_o all_o thing_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o that_o never_o die_v and_o so_o his_o priesthood_n and_o the_o right_n of_o it_o never_o cease_v 4._o how_o can_v his_o admirable_a greatness_n in_o his_o antitipe_n christ_n be_v say_v still_o to_o be_v the_o same_o if_o christ_n take_v no_o tithe_n neither_o have_v right_a to_o take_v they_o see_v the_o apostle_n urge_v this_o as_o a_o main_a argument_n of_o his_o greatness_n his_o scope_n be_v to_o prove_v melchizedek_n more_o excellent_a than_o aaron_n or_o abraham_n himself_o or_o then_o any_o of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n and_o consequent_o christ_n more_o excellent_a that_o the_o hebrew_n may_v not_o be_v hinder_v by_o a_o over_o ween_a opinion_n touch_v the_o aaronicall_a priesthood_n so_o long_o settle_v among_o they_o from_o come_v unto_o christ_n the_o super_fw-la excellency_n of_o melchizedek_n be_v prove_v by_o this_o that_o he_o take_v tithe_n of_o the_o patriarch_n abraham_n &_o bless_v he_o the_o title_n patriarch_n be_v add_v for_o abraham_n great_a honour_n to_o magnify_v melchizedek_n the_o more_o next_o the_o supper_n excellency_n of_o melchizedek_n be_v in_o this_o amplify_v by_o compare_v this_o tithing_n with_o that_o under_o the_o law_n use_v among_o abraham_n child_n for_o if_o some_o of_o they_o have_v a_o great_a honour_n do_v to_o they_o in_o this_o that_o they_o take_v tithe_n of_o their_o brethren_n melchizedek_n be_v far_o more_o honour_v in_o take_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o if_o they_o be_v honour_v to_o bless_v other_o their_o brethren_n be_v hereby_o prove_v great_a then_o melchizedek_n in_o blessing_n abraham_n be_v much_o more_o honour_a &_o prove_v great_a than_o he_o and_o by_o consequence_n then_o levi_n and_o the_o high_a priest_n spring_v of_o he_o for_o so_o much_o as_o levi_n himself_o be_v then_o in_o abraham_n loin_n pay_v tithe_n unto_o he_o and_o be_v bless_v of_o he_o from_o all_o this_o it_o follow_v plain_o that_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o regard_n they_o be_v christ_n ambassador_n to_o reconcile_v people_n to_o god_n and_o to_o bless_v they_o with_o conversion_n by_o preach_v the_o word_n because_o tithe_n be_v christ_n and_o melchizedeks_n as_o they_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o blessing_n for_o in_o this_o respect_n also_o abraham_n be_v note_v to_o have_v pay_v tithe_n to_o melchizedek_n when_o he_o meet_v he_o and_o bless_v he_o object_n but_o we_o read_v not_o that_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n receive_v tithe_n or_o demand_v they_o answer_n neither_o receive_v they_o ought_v else_o of_o some_o church_n but_o their_o own_o hand_n minister_v to_o their_o necessity_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v scandalous_a to_o weak_a brethren_n nor_o chargeable_a to_o afflict_a church_n must_v minister_n of_o all_o age_n do_v the_o like_a second_o the_o argument_n follow_v not_o from_o no_o practice_n to_o infer_v no_o right_n for_o the_o apostle_n travel_v from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n that_o then_o this_o can_v not_o be_v well_o do_v but_o the_o right_n be_v not_o infrienge_v hereby_o no_o more_o than_o the_o right_n of_o circumcise_n by_o the_o intermission_n thereof_o forty_o year_n in_o the_o wilderness_n three_o we_o
