because_o tithe_n be_v withhold_v godly_a minister_n be_v discourage_v their_o hand_n weaken_v and_o their_o spirit_n break_v who_o eye_n be_v so_o dim_a be_v understanding_n so_o weak_a as_o not_o to_o discern_v the_o vileness_n and_o sensuality_n of_o this_o assertion_n what_o do_v it_o more_o clear_o intimate_v then_o that_o the_o main_a and_o principal_a end_n of_o your_o ministry_n be_v for_o the_o belly_n when_o as_o no_o preach_v no_o pray_n no_o work_n no_o glory_n to_o god_n or_o good_a to_o man_n will_v be_v by_o you_o practise_v unless_o this_o curse_a gain_n of_o money_n anoint_v your_o chariot_n wheel_n nay_o in_o your_o eye_n of_o so_o essential_a concernment_n be_v the_o offer_v up_o of_o tithe_n to_o your_o shrine_n that_o without_o it_o the_o gospel_n can_v have_v no_o progress_n no_o success_n what_o manner_n of_o god_n be_v this_o money_n and_o profit_n with_o you_o which_o the_o scripture_n every_o where_o stigmatize_v with_o such_o infamous_a brand_n to_o discourge_v man_n from_o the_o love_n of_o it_o and_o yet_o how_o high_o do_v you_o advance_v it_o as_o that_o the_o heavenly_a gospel_n can_v be_v preach_v or_o propagate_v without_o such_o earthly_a dross_n we_o bless_v god_n that_o have_v thus_o unvail_v your_o hypocrisy_n unmask_v your_o dissimulation_n and_o expose_v you_o now_o to_o be_v see_v in_o your_o proper_a shape_n fulfil_v herein_o the_o same_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o kind_n of_o man_n that_o their_o madness_n shall_v be_v manifest_v to_o all_o but_o if_o for_o want_v of_o tithe_n such_o dangerous_a consequent_n or_o effect_n follow_v as_o the_o discouragement_n of_o godly_a minister_n the_o weaken_n of_o their_o hand_n and_o the_o break_n of_o their_o spirit_n we_o wonder_v how_o the_o gospel_n get_v such_o foot_n in_o the_o world_n as_o it_o do_v when_o no_o tithe_n be_v speak_v of_o sure_o in_o the_o begin_n thereof_o there_o be_v discouragement_n enough_o in_o this_o respect_n to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o where_o do_v we_o find_v any_o of_o the_o apostle_n complain_v for_o want_v of_o tithe_n nay_o we_o find_v paul_n affirm_v that_o he_o choose_v rather_o to_o get_v a_o maintenance_n by_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n than_o be_v burdensome_a to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o yet_o say_v express_o woe_n to_o i_o if_o i_o preach_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o see_v the_o absurdity_n which_o follow_v if_o not_o pay_v of_o tithe_n be_v a_o discouragement_n to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o christ_n who_o never_o appoint_a tithe_n leave_v out_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v a_o main_a encouragement_n to_o they_o in_o their_o work_n if_o so_o than_o he_o have_v not_o be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n which_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v he_o be_v yea_o by_o consequence_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o sinner_n and_o our_o faith_n in_o vain_a so_o that_o you_o see_v how_o fruitful_a a_o parent_n one_o sin_n and_o error_n be_v in_o the_o production_n of_o a_o numerous_a offspring_n no_o no_o the_o apostle_n well_o know_v the_o vanity_n and_o wretchedness_n of_o such_o creature-incouragement_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v a_o better_a

of_o that_o benefit_n they_o may_v have_v by_o such_o a_o man_n ministry_n we_o can_v find_v any_o rationality_n in_o this_o reason_n nor_o can_v we_o discover_v how_o the_o nonpayment_n of_o tyth_n rob_v a_o man_n of_o any_o spiritual_a benefit_n yea_o rather_o we_o affirm_v that_o such_o nonpayment_n of_o tyth_n do_v exceed_o enrich_v his_o soul_n in_o all_o heavenly_a blessing_n for_o if_o god_n have_v promise_v his_o spirit_n and_o blessing_n to_o his_o own_o way_n and_o appointment_n only_o than_o he_o deny_v the_o same_o to_o all_o humane_a device_n and_o invention_n introduce_v into_o his_o worship_n whereof_o this_o of_o tithe_n be_v a_o elder_a sister_n and_o one_o of_o the_o first_o bear_v as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o and_o therefore_o certain_o god_n have_v deny_v his_o spiritual_a blessing_n unto_o tithe_n and_o consequent_o the_o nonpayment_n thereof_o in_o obedinece_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n do_v the_o more_o rich_o furnish_v the_o soul_n with_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o conformable_a a_o man_n be_v find_v to_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o six_o place_n you_o tell_v we_o that_o nonpayment_n of_o tithe_n cause_v god_n to_o curse_v a_o man_n in_o his_o outward_a estate_n so_o that_o they_o turn_v bankrupt_n and_o be_v ashamed_a to_o show_v their_o face_n for_o debt_n two_o absurd_a proposition_n be_v couch_v in_o this_o assertion_n 1._o that_o all_o they_o who_o become_v bankrupt_n do_v not_o pay_v tyth_n and_o therefore_o be_v curse_v 2._o that_o all_o that_o do_v pay_v tyth_n never_o turn_v bankrupt_n but_o be_v bless_v both_o which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o common_a knowledge_n and_o experience_n and_o therefore_o false_a and_o need_v no_o other_o refutation_n seven_o you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o gospel_n because_o it_o hinder_v the_o progress_n and_o success_n of_o it_o and_o such_o man_n do_v as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o extingish_v the_o light_n by_o take_v away_o the_o oil_n that_o feed_v it_o here_o the_o author_n do_v not_o mutter_v out_o his_o word_n as_o if_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v hear_v but_o round_v it_o aloud_o in_o your_o ear_n that_o tithe_n be_v the_o oil_n that_o feed_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o which_o small_a room_n there_o lie_v a_o great_a mass_n of_o absurdity_n consist_v of_o these_o six_o proposition_n 1._o that_o tithe_n be_v the_o essential_a mean_n or_o conservant_n cause_n of_o the_o gospel_n 2._o that_o whatsoever_o ministry_n or_o dispensation_n that_o shall_v be_v find_v without_o this_o necessary_a support_a mean_n of_o tyth_n be_v not_o the_o gospel_n 3._o that_o whosoever_o withhold_v tyth_n do_v by_o degree_n quench_v the_o gospel_n 4._o that_o such_o a_o person_n be_v a_o unbeliever_n and_o consequent_o in_o a_o damnable_a condition_n 5._o that_o tithe_n be_v so_o effential_a as_o aforesaid_a and_o such_o pure_a oil_n as_o to_o make_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n shine_v resplendent_o that_o whosoever_o pay_v tithe_n do_v thereby_o help_v forward_o the_o progress_n of_o the_o gospel_n increase_v the_o light_n thereof_o be_v a_o undoubted_a believer_n and_o consequent_o shall_v be_v assure_o save_v 6._o that_o see_v tithe_n be_v the_o oil_n that_o preserve_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v never_o make_v partaker_n of_o that_o oil_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o apostle_n gospel_n be_v as_o a_o lamp_n without_o oil_n and_o consequent_o preach_v but_o a_o dark_a gospel_n to_o all_o which_o there_o need_v no_o other_o answer_n but_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o ridiculousness_n and_o absurdity_n of_o they_o take_v a_o example_n in_o the_o second_o particular_a thus_o whatsoever_o dispensation_n be_v without_o tyth_n be_v not_o the_o gospel_n but_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o dispensation_n without_o tyth_n yea_o whereby_o tyth_n be_v abolish_v therefore_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o the_o gospel_n though_o this_o argument_n natural_o flow_v from_o the_o say_a assertion_n be_v very_o absurd_a in_o itself_o yet_o the_o conclusion_n be_v favourable_o interpret_v may_v be_v true_a if_o we_o make_v it_o thus_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o the_o author_n gospel_n that_o be_v wherein_o he_o believe_v for_o if_o it_o be_v sure_o he_o will_v there_o find_v better_a oil_n to_o fill_v his_o lamp_n and_o feed_v his_o light_n than_o that_o of_o
