his_o flesh_n for_o mankind_n the_o major_n must_v be_v grant_v and_o the_o minor_a i_o thus_o prove_v whatsoever_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o moses_n be_v to_o be_v take_v

at_o and_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o major_a here_o again_o be_v unexceptionable_a and_o the_o minor_a be_v thus_o prove_v every_o heave_v offer_v among_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o part_n of_o

by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o without_o regard_n have_v of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o or_o the_o use_n for_o which_o tithe_n be_v pay_v the_o pay_v of_o tithe_n as_o well_o as_o the_o receive_v

common_o call_v antichristian_a or_o against_o christ_n and_o hence_o have_v arisen_a that_o say_v often_o use_v not_o only_o by_o our_o ancient_a friend_n but_o by_o some_o of_o the_o martyr_n long_o before_o viz._n he_o that_o pay_v tithe_n do_v thereby_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh._n that_o conclusion_n can_v not_o have_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o pay_n of_o tithe_n to_o a_o wrong_a ministry_n or_o for_o a_o wrong_n use_v only_o though_o such_o payment_n be_v evil_a nor_o can_v any_o thing_n justify_v that_o inference_n but_o the_o consideration_n that_o tithe_n depend_v on_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o moses_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n and_o in_o course_n fall_v and_o cease_v when_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pay_v of_o tithe_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o

have_v yet_o suffer_v in_o his_o flesh_n for_o mankind_n 7._o that_o other_o objection_n not_o less_o weighty_a than_o common_a against_o pay_v tithe_n to_o the_o clergy_n so_o call_v viz._n the_o unlawfulness_n of_o uphold_v a_o false_a ministry_n to_o perform_v a_o false_a worship_n be_v itself_o so_o clear_a and_o plain_a that_o it_o need_v no_o illustration_n i_o shall_v in_o this_o

and_o ground_n on_o which_o the_o other_o tithe_n stand_v which_o be_v claim_v and_o exact_v by_o the_o priest_n be_v evident_a from_o hence_o that_o they_o be_v all_o heretofore_o these_o as_o well_o as_o those_o claim_v by_o and_o pay_v to_o some_o or_o other_o of_o the_o romish_a clergy_n or_o their_o appendix_n the_o religious_a order_n so_o call_v and_o upon_o the_o same_o foot_n that_o be_v these_o impropriate_a tithe_n be_v pay_v to_o those_o religious_a order_n or_o house_n as_o be_v due_a to_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o levitic_a law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o tithe_n be_v pay_v to_o the_o parish-priest_n on_o the_o same_o suppose_a right_o from_o the_o same_o law_n but_o how_o these_o tithe_n come_v to_o those_o religious_a house_n first_o and_o how_o afterward_o from_o they_o to_o the_o impropriator_n be_v next_o to_o be_v inquire_v 2._o until_o the_o lateran_n council_n so_o name_v because_o it_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o pope_n palace_n at_o rome_n call_v the_o lateran_n in_o the_o year_n 1215._o it_o be_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o every_o man_n to_o give_v his_o tithe_n to_o what_o church_n he_o please_v so_o he_o give_v they_o to_o some_o church_n and_o even_o after_o that_o council_n the_o pope_n as_o head_n of_o that_o church_n by_o their_o dispence_a power_n do_v give_v leave_n to_o such_o as_o will_v sue_v and_o pay_v for_o it_o to_o give_v

the_o parish_n priest_n to_o their_o religious_a house_n or_o convent_v 3._o the_o tithe_n or_o parsonage_n so_o give_v be_v then_o call_v appropriation_n because_o they_o be_v appropriate_v to_o
