ready_a to_o expire_v he_o thus_o ordain_v as_o we_o have_v already_o all_o along_o declare_v these_o thing_n ought_v etc._n etc._n i_o come_v therefore_o now_o to_o make_v the_o appeal_n of_o this_o

of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o proceed_n may_v be_v most_o equal_a i_o will_v first_o make_v the_o objection_n of_o the_o dissenter_n from_o those_o apostolic_a write_n as_o strong_a as_o i_o be_o able_a and_o then_o apply_v to_o it_o its_o answer_n first_o from_o what_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o demonstrative_a out_o of_o the_o apostolic_a write_n then_o from_o what_o be_v very_o probable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n although_o possible_o not_o so_o demonstrative_a the_o objection_n i_o frame_v thus_o tithing_n be_v a_o proportion_n for_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o god_n and_o his_o minister_n adjust_v to_o the_o time_n of_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o priesthood_n attendant_z on_o sacrifice_n it_o be_v indeed_o before_o moses_n and_o be_v transplant_v into_o the_o mostick_a law_n as_o circumcision_n and_o command_v under_o the_o name_n of_o a_o heave_v offer_v all_o these_o three_o sacrifice_n circumcision_n and_o tithe_n be_v first_o of_o the_o father_n and_o then_o of_o moses_n but_o the_o very_a original_n of_o tithe_n be_v in_o honour_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o doubtless_o of_o a_o priest_n that_o offer_a sacrifice_n though_o that_o part_n of_o his_o office_n for_o as_o great_a reason_n conceal_v as_o his_o genealogy_n and_o only_o his_o blessing_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n record_v to_o argue_v then_o tithe_n be_v not_o abrogate_a by_o christ_n because_o before_o moses_n be_v no_o strong_a than_o to_o argue_v sacrifice_n or_o circumcision_n be_v not_o abrogate_a because_o before_o moses_n and_o if_o we_o continue_v tithe_n we_o may_v as_o well_o continue_v sacrifice_n or_o circumcision_n because_o of_o the_o father_n and_o see_v we_o just_o reject_v the_o continuance_n of_o sacrifice_n so_o shall_v we_o also_o tithe_n as_o of_o a_o sacrifical_a nature_n the_o continuance_n therefore_o of_o they_o be_v just_o unblamable_a as_o jewish_n and_o antichristian_a and_o be_v of_o the_o same_o sort_n with_o call_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n priest_n on_o which_o account_n tithe_n be_v so_o earnest_o content_v for_o by_o they_o a_o priestly_a maintenance_n for_o a_o priestly_a minister_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n as_o in_o all_o their_o write_n they_o careful_o avoid_v affix_v any_o priestlyness_n to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o do_v they_o any_o subindication_n of_o a_o priestly_a maintenance_n and_o therefore_o though_o our_o lord_n abate_v nothing_o from_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n yet_o he_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o apostle_n by_o the_o total_a silence_n of_o any_o such_o law_n to_o declare_v it_o abrogate_a with_o the_o sacrifical_a law_n the_o two_o main_a hinge_n on_o which_o this_o objection_n turn_v be_v these_o 1._o tithe_n be_v of_o a_o sacrifical_a and_o priestly_a original_a and_o as_o such_o consign_v into_o moses_n his_o law_n and_o therefore_o certain_o abrogate_a with_o all_o thing_n of_o that_o sort_n and_o alliance_n 2._o they_o be_v not_o once_o

one_o be_v hardly_o possible_a without_o the_o other_o the_o cessation_n of_o the_o merchandise_n and_o the_o vessel_n without_o the_o cessation_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n 5._o the_o remark_n of_o

be_v a_o house_n of_o prayer_n for_o all_o nation_n in_o a_o confluence_n to_o the_o church_n of_o god_n while_o it_o be_v a_o house_n of_o sacrifice_n for_o that_o state_n be_v fit_v only_o to_o the_o jewish_a nation_n there_o be_v these_o three_o thing_n therefore_o in_o our_o lord_n intention_n in_o the_o action_n and_o his_o concomitant_a discourse_n 1._o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o cessation_n of_o that_o carnal_a jewish_a worship_n of_o god_n by_o sacrifice_n 2._o that_o in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o shall_v succeed_v a_o spiritual_a intellectual_a worship_n comprehend_v under_o
