and_o annual_a tithe_n which_o be_v god_n stand_a inheritance_n therefore_o of_o they_o must_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o gospel_n live_v even_o so_o say_v the_o apostle_n have_v the_o lord_n ordain_v here_o be_v no_o abrogation_n but_o a_o ratification_n of_o this_o eternal_a ordinance_n and_o last_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o most_o impregnable_a place_n heb._n 7._o the_o apostle_n strong_o prove_v that_o the_o tithe_n 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 prove_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 levitical_a priesthood_n be_v already_o end_v and_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 tithe_n vers._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 tithe_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 the_o gospel_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o this_o have_v be_v both_o the_o constant_a opinion_n of_o all_o antiquity_n and_o the_o perpetual_a practice_n of_o the_o church_n whatsoever_o any_o late_a history_n do_v report_n to_o the_o contrary_a therefore_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v that_o these_o tithe_n be_v only_o levitical_a and_o that_o there_o be_v now_o nothing_o but_o a_o competency_n due_a by_o a_o moral_a equity_n for_o how_o can_v they_o be_v only_o levitical_a which_o be_v vow_v by_o jacob_n in_o my_o text_n and_o pay_v by_o abraham_n and_o by_o levi_n himself_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n 7.8_o five_o hundred_o year_n before_o the_o levitical_a law_n begin_v and_o to_o speak_v of_o a_o competency_n now_o be_v a_o mere_a conceit_n for_o who_o shall_v presume_v to_o prescribe_v a_o uncertain_a competency_n where_o god_n himself_o have_v set_v down_o a_o perpetual_a certainty_n which_o he_o never_o yet_o alter_v or_o why_o shall_v any_o man_n think_v that_o god_n who_o provide_v a_o stand_a certain_a and_o liberal_a maintenance_n for_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v less_o honourable_a shall_v leave_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o exceed_v in_o honour_n unto_o a_o uncertain_a and_o beggarly_a competency_n especial_o foreknow_v and_o foretell_v that_o in_o these_o last_o day_n charity_n shall_v wax_v cold_a and_o man_n be_v lover_n of_o themselves_o and_o their_o pleasure_n more_o than_o lover_n of_o god_n and_o his_o church_n and_o yet_o he_o require_v hospitality_n at_o our_o hand_n too_o which_o he_o know_v the_o world_n competency_n can_v not_o afford_v therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v for_o a_o certain_a conclusion_n wherewith_o i_o will_v end_v that_o all_o true_a jacobite_n or_o true_a israelite_n which_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n be_v bind_v to_o perform_v all_o jacob_n vow_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o not_o only_o to_o have_v the_o lord_n for_o their_o god_n and_o build_v or_o at_o least_o maintain_v his_o house_n but_o also_o of_o all_o that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o to_o give_v the_o ten_o unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o as_o solomon_n say_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o destruction_n for_o any_o man_n to_o devour_v these_o thing_n that_o be_v sanctify_v the_o usurp_n and_o
