must_v for_o ever_o remain_v due_a unto_o god_n for_o be_v to_o prove_v the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n priesthood_n above_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n and_o levi_n he_o proove_v it_o by_o the_o perpetuity_n thereof_o because_o christ_n remain_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n whereas_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v already_o end_v &_o to_o prove_v the_o perpetuity_n of_o christ_n priesthood_n he_o use_v no_o other_o medium_fw-la but_o this_o perpetual_a tithing_n verse_n 8._o here_o man_n that_o do_v receive_v tithe_n that_o be_v levi_n who_o die_v both_o in_o regard_n of_o person_n and_o office_n but_o there_o that_o be_v christ_n in_o melchisedec_n receive_v they_o of_o who_o it_o be_v witness_v that_o he_o live_v therefore_o if_o christ_n priesthood_n be_v perpetual_a then_o must_v his_o tithing_n be_v perpetual_a or_o else_o the_o apostle_n argument_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v it_o prove_v by_o these_o three_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o these_o tithe_n which_o jacob_n vow_v in_o my_o text_n long_o before_o the_o law_n be_v still_o due_a unto_o god_n and_o his_o church_n in_o the_o time_n of_o

late_a history_n do_v report_n to_o the_o contrary_n therefore_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v that_o these_o tithe_n be_v only_o leviticall_a and_o that_o there_o be_v now_o nothing_o but_o a_o
