A43226	Tythes no maintenance for gospel-ministers, or, A seasonable discourse concerning tythes wherein it is fully proved that those that urge the payment thereof for their maintenance are no true gospel ministers, but antichristian, and do concur with priests of the Leviticall order and institution ... / by T.H. and T.R.

worship_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v if_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o let_v he_o be_v lord_n but_o if_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v that_o which_o be_v now_o our_o rule_n then_o let_v we_o have_v priest_n and_o levite_n and_o burn_v offering_n and_o sacrifice_n be_v these_o the_o reformer_n of_o religion_n that_o seek_v by_o their_o directory_n to_o desude_v the_o nation_n and_o bri_v they_o into_o a_o great_a bondage_n than_o ever_o the_o israelite_n be_v that_o after_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o glorious_a gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o make_v man_n christ_n free_a man_n to_o be_v enslave_v again_o into_o bondage_n and_o moreover_o to_o enact_v law_n institution_n and_o ordinance_n of_o man_n to_o enforce_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o if_o that_o

as_o we_o may_v say_v with_o a_o witness_n but_o we_o hope_v those_o that_o be_v entrust_v with_o england_n liborty_n will_v short_o see_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o great_a bondage_n of_o the_o commons_o we_o mean_v the_o poor_a country_n people_n who_o have_v so_o much_o suffer_v in_o this_o behalf_n and_o yet_o have_v have_v no_o redress_n and_o also_o the_o insult_a cruelty_n of_o those_o bsoundy_a priest_n or_o presbyter_n that_o like_a meroz_n come_v not_o out_o on_o to_o help_v the_o lord_n against_o the_o mighty_a but_o when_o they_o do_v see_v their_o dagon_n be_v like_a to_o fall_v together_o with_o reg_n all_o dignity_n lay_v all_o their_o head_n together_o to_o uphold_v that_o power_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v determine_v to_o overthrow_v and_o while_o they_o

suffer_v they_o a_o little_a while_n if_o by_o any_o mean_n they_o will_v see_v the_o deceit_n and_o hypocrisy_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o if_o this_o writing_n will_v not_o work_v its_o kindly_a

then_o the_o first_o this_o one_o thing_n we_o hearty_o desire_v that_o god_n will_v please_v to_o let_v they_o see_v this_o the_o error_n of_o their_o heart_n before_o the_o great_a judgement_n fall_v down_o upon_o they_o but_o we_o shall_v leave_v and_o come_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n you_o give_v it_o be_v a_o sin_n whereby_o godly_a minister_n be_v discourage_v in_o their_o work_n their_o hand_n weaken_v and_o their_o spirit_n break_v so_o that_o they_o can_v go_v on_o in_o their_o ministry_n with_o joy_n but_o with_o grief_n this_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o that_o godly_a

of_o your_o zeal_n ion_n the_o publication_n of_o the_o gospel_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o covetousness_n that_o steer_v you_o in_o all_o your_o proceed_n you_o can_v forget_v the_o gardlick_n and_o

and_o it_o be_v now_o the_o great_a disease_n most_o of_o you_o be_v trouble_v withal_o as_o the_o french_a saying_n be_v fault_n d'_fw-fr argent_fw-fr want_v of_o money_n now_o your_o great_a benefice_n be_v take_v away_o by_o which_o many_o of_o your_o lord_n wax_v wanton_a now_o the_o great_a complaint_n be_v want_v of_o maintenance_n and_o therefore_o you_o cry_v out_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n go_v slow_o on_o but_o we_o hope_v by_o this_o time_n you_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o assume_v to_o yourselves_o the_o name_n of_o priest_n and_o levite_n but_o by_o the_o inference_n you_o draw_v you_o make_v people_n believe_v no_o less_o by_o reason_n that_o all_o the_o refuge_n you_o have_v to_o fly_v unto_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o tithe_n be_v to_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n as_o in_o that_o place_n note_v by_o you_o 2_o chron._n 31.4_o the_o exhortation_n of_o the_o king_n hezekiah_n to_o the_o people_n to_o give_v the_o portion_n to_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n to_o encourage_v they_o first_o consider_v as_o we_o have_v before_o declare_v that_o this_o portion_n be_v their_o wage_n for_o their_o work_n but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o gospel_n minister_n what_o wage_n have_v the_o disciple_n when_o they_o be_v send_v from_o christ_n to_o declare_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o juse_n christ_n what_o be_v there_o any_o condition_n make_v for_o wage_n or_o hire_n john_n 10._o the_o mireling_n in_o no_o good_a shepherd_n as_o by_o sad_a experience_n have_v be_v find_v in_o all_o that_o be_v call_v christian_a nation_n &_o how_o come_v they_o in_o but_o over_o hedge_n and_o byway_n and_o instead_o of_o lay_v down_o their_o live_v for_o the_o sheep_n they_o have_v devour_v they_o but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o labonrer_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o hire_n pray_v what_o do_v the_o disciple_n want_v when_o they_o return_v can_v not_o the_o gospel_n yield_v its_o increase_n as_o well_o in_o the_o gain_n soul_n to_o god_n as_o also_o in_o the_o maintenance_n of_o they_o that_o work_n in_o the_o harvest_n therefore_o you_o have_v no_o warrant_n to_o use_v unlawful_a mean_n to_o come_v by_o maintenance_n as_o tithe_n which_o be_v altogether_o unlawful_a and_o antichristian_a and_o that_o which_o do_v extinguish_v the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n again_o this_o your_o argument_n must_v of_o necessity_n unveil_v much_o of_o the_o falseness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o those_o minister_n that_o make_v the_o nonpayment_n of_o tithe_n to_o be_v alone_a wheel_n that_o move_v their_o zeal_n for_o the_o publication_n of_o gospel_n and_o the_o blood_n that_o move_v in_o the_o vein_n by_o which_o they_o be_v make_v sting_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o by_o withhold_v of_o tithe_n they_o be_v weaken_v in_o the_o work_n and_o their_o spirir_n can_v act_v and_o so_o be_v become_v dumb_a these_o be_v sad_a soul-physitian_n that_o though_o the_o poor_a soul_n be_v like_a to_o famish_v for_o want_v of_o spririvall_n food_n they_o may_v famish_v and_o perish_v if_o they_o have_v not_o wherewithal_o to_o give_v they_o the_o tithe_n they_o demand_v like_o some_o physician_n which_o will_v have_v their_o money_n in_o hand_n though_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o patient_n be_v like_a to_o perish_v for_o want_v of_o their_o help_n but_o you_o say_v they_o be_v discourage_v by_o want_n of_o tithe_n which_o be_v their_o maintenance_n sure_o well_o they_o may_v when_o as_o they_o shall_v seek_v their_o maintenauce_n in_o a_o unwarrantable_a way_n have_v no_o gospel_n precept_n for_o in_o nor_o do_v judge_n that_o there_o be_v any_o cause_n of_o discouragement_n or_o rather_o that_o they_o shall_v complain_v that_o they_o be_v discourage_v for_o not_o be_v maintain_v by_o a_o error_n and_o such_o a_o error_n as_o even_o amount_v to_o heresy_n itself_o for_o what_o great_a heresy_n can_v there_o be_v then_o to_o deny_v christ_n come_v he_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o infore_v of_o

not_o think_v to_o draw_v we_o ever_o a_o whit_n the_o more_o to_o be_v of_o your_o opinion_n in_o that_o particular_a of_o tithe_n or_o the_o lawfullnesse_n of_o it_o because_o the_o nonpayment_n thereof_o be_v a_o discouragement_n to_o your_o preach_n or_o a_o weaken_n to_o your_o spirit_n we_o can_v wish_v that_o this_o discouragement_n will_v work_v your_o heart_n into_o a_o humble_a frame_n or_o temper_n than_o you_o will_v not_o cry_v so_o outrageous_o against_o the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n which_o be_v so_o keep_v by_o his_o power_n as_o not_o to_o submit_v to_o
