A40035	A winding-sheet for England's ministry which hath a name to live, but is dead sent to John Owen, called Dr. in that ministry, and late vice-chancellor of Oxford, and is in answer to his printed paper concerning tythes : or, an examination of those scriptures by which he seems to prove, that the publike maintenance for preachers of the Gospel by way of tythes, is a gospel-maintenance, but upon examination thereof by the scriptures, he is found to be a subverter of them, and, that tythes is no lawful maintenance for gospel-ministers.

christian_a liberty_n nay_o let_v i_o say_v further_o a_o settle_a maintenance_n be_v most_o unreasonable_a and_o unjust_a for_o gospel_n minister_n because_o they_o be_v to_o be_v obedient_a always_o to_o christ_n command_n and_o christ_n work_n be_v not_o always_o in_o one_o place_n and_o therefore_o can_v have_v no_o settle_a maintenance_n i_o say_v his_o minister_n be_v to_o go_v where_o 〈…〉_z

where_o they_o sow_v not_o so_o that_o we_o deny_v you_o and_o your_o settle_a maintenance_n to_o be_v of_o christ_n but_o both_o be_v out_o from_o christ_n way_n and_o therefore_o can_v pay_v you_o
