of_o that_o law_n now_o that_o kind_n of_o priesthood_n be_v change_v and_o a_o better_o come_v in_o the_o room_n and_o such_o who_o serve_v at_o a_o better_a tabernacle_n and_o at_o a_o better_a

those_o which_o preach_v the_o gospel_n shall_v live_v of_o the_o gospel_n this_o will_v better_o appear_v by_o compare_v the_o law_n of_o tithe_n with_o other_o thing_n under_o the_o law_n which_o be_v now_o abrogate_a by_o the_o gospel_n as_o to_o the_o ceremony_n but_o as_o to_o the_o substance_n and_o morality_n remain_v to_o this_o day_n i_o will_v in_o stead_n of_o many_o give_v but_o two_o or_o three_o instance_n 1._o the_o law_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o the_o four_o commandment_n tie_v man_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o a_o seven_o day_n which_o seven_o day_n the_o jew_n observe_v from_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o creation_n this_o as_o to_o that_o day_n be_v now_o as_o much_o abrogate_a as_o the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n to_o the_o levite_n there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o alter_v of_o that_o day_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o only_o the_o constant_a custom_n of_o the_o church_n ever_o since_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n be_v therefore_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n go_v god_n forbid_v here_o may_v i_o take_v occasion_n to_o commend_v the_o church_n of_o england_n above_o any_o reform_a church_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o holy_a observation_n of_o this_o day_n but_o i_o will_v not_o digress_v and_o therefore_o i_o say_v as_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o sabbath_n still_o continue_v as_o to_o give_v god_n one_o day_n in_o seven_o for_o his_o worship_n so_o i_o say_v the_o morality_n of_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n as_o to_o a_o fit_a maintenance_n for_o god_n minister_n that_o attend_v the_o worship_n continue_v to_o this_o day_n in_o england_n and_o i_o hope_v ever_o will_n 2._o the_o law_n of_o circumcision_n as_o to_o the_o cut_n off_o of_o the_o foreskin_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o infant_n be_v mere_o ceremonial_a but_o yet_o the_o morality_n of_o it_o as_o to_o baptise_v of_o infant_n still_o continue_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n in_o the_o gospel_n for_o baptise_v of_o infant_n 3._o the_o like_a instance_n be_v in_o the_o paschall_n lamb_n abrogate_a as_o to_o that_o ceremony_n but_o still_o continue_v as_o to_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o come_v in_o the_o room_n thereof_o from_o both_o which_o may_v be_v conclude_v strong_a inference_n of_o reason_n for_o the_o continuance_n of_o tithe_n in_o that_o sense_n i_o have_v express_v of_o they_o 3._o the_o three_o ground_n be_v this_o that_o this_o way_n of_o maintenance_n of_o churchman_n by_o tithe_n be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o the_o most_o just_a way_n that_o can_v be_v name_v 1._o for_o the_o first_o it_o be_v as_o old_a as_o melchisedech_n priest_n to_o the_o ancient_n of_o day_n and_o from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n and_o all_o the_o time_n of_o christianity_n it_o have_v continue_v a_o constant_a church-maintenance_n throughout_o christendom_n till_o the_o reformation_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o day_n of_o luther_n and_o calvin_n in_o those_o place_n of_o reform_a religion_n where_o the_o reformation_n be_v orderly_o which_o be_v far_o the_o great_a number_n that_o kind_n of_o maintenance_n continue_v to_o this_o day_n but_o where_o it_o be_v do_v by_o popular_a tumult_n and_o power_n of_o the_o sword_n that_o kind_n of_o maintenance_n be_v take_v away_o and_o with_o it_o the_o very_a church_n themselves_o and_o the_o most_o part_n of_o their_o revenue_n 2._o second_o it_o be_v most_o just_a there_o be_v three_o principle_n reason_n why_o tithe_n be_v to_o be_v pay_v to_o the_o levite_n of_o the_o law_n the_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o person_n the_o second_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o work_n and_o the_o three_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o wage_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o the_o law_n be_v give_v in_o numb_a 18.20_o and_o deut._n 10.9_o that_o levi_n be_v not_o to_o have_v any_o inheritance_n in_o the_o land_n like_o the_o other_o tribe_n for_o that_o god_n be_v his_o part_n and_o inheritance_n and_o they_o be_v he_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v whole_o depend_v upon_o he_o not_o upon_o the_o gift_n of_o man_n which_o he_o show_v in_o that_o he_o give_v they_o their_o maintenance_n by_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v a_o act_n of_o his_o immediate_a providence_n all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v the_o small_a herb_n of_o the_o field_n to_o grow_v and_o be_v not_o this_o the_o case_n of_o levi_n under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o the_o minister_n under_o the_o gospel_n true_o and_o proper_o and_o very_o ancient_o call_v clerus_fw-la domini_fw-la the_o lord_n portion_n or_o inheritance_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o as_o the_o levite_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o tribe_n for_o the_o lord_n sanctuary_n so_o be_v minister_n under_o the_o gospel_n separate_v from_o all_o the_o people_n by_o ordination_n from_o god_n in_o imposition_n of_o hand_n the_o text_n
