those_o their_o shadow_n be_v perfect_o show_v unto_o we_o be_v any_o way_n excuse_v if_o we_o refuse_v and_o deny_v to_o pay_v our_o tithe_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o minister_n that_o gather_v they_o because_o it_o be_v a_o uncontrollable_a maxim_n to_o who_o much_o be_v give_v of_o they_o much_o shall_v be_v require_v and_o god_n have_v give_v we_o far_o better_o and_o far_o more_o

they_o be_v and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v that_o except_o our_o righteousness_n shall_v exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n 5._o matth._n 5._o we_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o yet_o you_o know_v what_o they_o do_v fast_o twice_o every_o week_n and_o pay_v tithe_n of_o all_o that_o they_o have_v even_o of_o the_o small_a thing_n mint_n and_o annise_v and_o the_o least_o herb_n they_o have_v and_o how_o do_v our_o righteousness_n exceed_v their_o righteousness_n if_o we_o deny_v our_o tithe_n to_o god_n minister_n i_o will_v we_o be_v as_o righteous_a as_o they_o be_v and_o as_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o person_n pay_v their_o tithe_n so_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o person_n to_o who_o they_o be_v pay_v as_o to_o the_o substitute_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o before_o as_o after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n do_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o we_o christian_n have_v more_o reas●n_n to_o pay_v our_o tithe_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o jew_n have_v to_o pay_v they_o under_o the_o law_n for_o if_o the_o tithe_n be_v payable_a and_o to_o be_v give_v to_o those_o servant_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v of_o the_o low_a degree_n and_o do_v the_o mean_a office_n and_o bring_v least_o benefit_n unto_o the_o people_n of_o christ_n then_o certain_o they_o shall_v be_v much_o rather_o payable_a to_o those_o minister_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v of_o a_o far_o high_a degree_n and_o do_v the_o more_o honourable_a office_n and_o bring_v the_o rare_a and_o the_o great_a benefit_n unto_o the_o people_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o all_o the_o foresay_a respect_n do_v far_o exceed_v and_o excel_v the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o law_n because_o as_o saint_n paul_n show_v the_o levitical_a priest_n be_v but_o lecturer_n of_o the_o letter_n which_o kill_v but_o the_o miinister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o interpreter_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o give_v life_n 11._o 2_o cor._n 3_o 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o 10_o 11._o they_o expound_v the_o shadow_n these_o the_o substance_n of_o religion_n and_o they_o have_v commit_v unto_o they_o the_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n and_o these_o have_v the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n and_o glorification_n deliver_v unto_o their_o charge_n therefore_o see_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v thus_o far_o and_o in_o these_o repect_v excel_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n their_o hire_n and_o maintenance_n shall_v be_v less_o than_o the_o hire_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o levitical_a priest_n but_o that_o the_o tithe_n shall_v be_v as_o well_o pay_v to_o these_o as_o the_o other_o christiana_n §._o 1._o de_fw-fr decimis_fw-la 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

but_o though_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n that_o all_o tithe_n as_o well_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o under_o the_o law_n and_o before_o the_o law_n be_v continual_o due_a to_o christ_n our_o eternal_a priest_n and_o so_o at_o all_o time_n payable_a and_o to_o be_v give_v to_o his_o substitute_n and_o under-priest_n be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o sun_n yet_o such_o have_v be_v and_o be_v the_o malice_n of_o satan_n against_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n that_o he_o have_v raise_v up_o and_o stir_v a_o whole_a army_n of_o sectary_n anabaptist_n and_o worldling_n that_o with_o might_n and_o main_a do_v fight_v against_o this_o truth_n and_o labour_n with_o all_o their_o wit_n to_o suppress_v the_o same_o and_o to_o drive_v it_o quite_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o that_o end_n they_o do_v object_n 1._o if_o all_o tithe_n be_v thus_o due_a as_o you_o say_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n obj._n 1_o then_o they_o be_v every_o where_o due_a and_o all_o they_o do_v sin_n and_o grievous_o offend_v that_o do_v detain_v they_o but_o many_o country_n and_o some_o christian_a commonwealth_n no_o doubt_n pay_v no_o tithe_n at_o all_o and_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o this_o fashion_n of_o pay_v tithe_n and_o yet_o do_v sufficient_o and_o honourable_o maintain_v their_o minister_n for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n therefore_o questionless_a the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v not_o due_a by_o the_o divine_a law_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o conceive_v dr._n gardiner_n do_v reasonable_o well_o answer_v so●_n so●_n though_o i_o think_v not_o full_o
