pay_v tithe_n of_o our_o good_n gen._n 12.7_o you_o have_v a_o altar_n build_v to_o god_n a_o profession_n of_o his_o true_a religion_n among_o the_o canaanite_n there_o he_o call_v on_o god_n name_n that_o be_v perform_v public_a worship_n of_o sacrifice_v and_o pray_v one_o name_v for_o all_o and_o v_o 13.14_o again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o come_v to_o the_o place_n of_o the_o altar_n which_o he_o have_v make_v at_o the_o first_o and_o there_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o v_o 18._o there_o at_o hebron_n he_o build_v a_o altar_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o

melchisedech_n be_v priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o he_o meet_v abraham_n and_o bless_v he_o and_o abraham_n give_v he_o tithe_n of_o all_o i_o do_v not_o think_v he_o mean_v only_o of_o all_o the_o spoil_n though_o that_o he_o do_v too_o but_o a_o constant_a tithe_n of_o all_o he_o have_v be_v mean_v this_o tithing_n be_v a_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o subjection_n to_o melchisedech_n and_o so_o necessary_a to_o be_v perform_v to_o christ_n who_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o that_o order_n who_o must_v bless_v and_o take_v the_o tithe_n of_o we_o sure_o tithing_n be_v no_o leviticall_a ceremony_n for_o it_o be_v not_o original_o and_o primary_o due_a to_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n but_o it_o be_v due_a to_o a_o eternal_a priesthood_n even_o that_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n and_o therefore_o so_o far_o as_o i_o see_v it_o must_v be_v eternal_o due_a neither_o can_v any_o man_n lawful_o forbear_v to_o pay_v they_o to_o

i_o pray_v you_o look_v that_o you_o be_v religious_a as_o abraham_n profess_v religion_n come_v to_o god_n house_n call_v on_o god_n name_n learn_v that_o public_a prayer_n be_v a_o holy_a

all_o which_o i_o know_v none_o of_o you_o all_o that_o do_v make_v conscience_n of_o you_o think_v that_o too_o dear_a a_o price_n to_o buy_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n with_o but_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o show_v yourselves_o subject_a to_o christ_n priesthood_n as_o well_o as_o abraham_n if_o you_o can_v make_v it_o manifest_a to_o be_v a_o leviticall_a ceremony_n you_o may_v think_v yourselves_o dispense_v with_o it_o by_o christ_n come_v but_o you_o can_v show_v any_o good_a reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o here_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v due_a to_o a_o priest_n of_o another_o order_n than_o that_o of_o aaron_n wherefore_o show_v yourselves_o true_o religious_a by_o a_o conscionable_a set_v a_o part_n to_o god_n the_o tithe_n of_o all_o you_o have_v as_o abraham_n do_v for_o when_o here_o it_o be_v say_v he_o tithe_v all_o and_o in_o the_o hebrew_n the_o spoil_n it_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o shorten_v the_o wide_a place_n by_o the_o narrow_a but_o to_o reconcile_v both_o together_o thus_o he_o pay_v tithe_n of_o all_o and_o also_o of_o the_o spoil_n as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n i_o be_o in_o hope_n to_o prevail_v with_o you_o for_o all_o other_o thing_n but_o in_o this_o i_o have_v no_o hope_n to_o prevail_v because_o profit_n plead_v against_o i_o and_o because_o the_o thing_n be_v controvert_v and_o deny_v by_o divers_a now_o when_o a_o costly_a service_n be_v question_v o_o how_o hard_o be_v it_o to_o persuade_v man_n to_o see_v that_o truth_n and_o follow_v it_o well_o i_o show_v you_o my_o opinion_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n to_o persuade_v you_o but_o in_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o controvert_v i_o pray_v you_o to_o obey_v as_o abraham_n do_v and_o to_o show_v your_o religion_n as_o he_o do_v and_o so_o we_o have_v show_v you_o abraham_n faith_n obedience_n fear_n and_o devotion_n o_o that_o we_o can_v show_v the_o same_o virtue_n in_o our_o life_n i_o come_v to_o show_v you_o

true_a apprehension_n of_o god_n greatness_n and_o the_o infinite_a distance_n between_o god_n and_o himself_o you_o shall_v see_v this_o in_o abraham_n because_o when_o god_n come_v to_o show_v he_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o the_o sodomite_n and_o he_o out_o of_o mercy_n be_v move_v to_o pray_v earnest_o for_o they_o he_o say_v unto_o god_n i_o be_o dust_n and_o ash_n o_o good_a man_n that_o
