prove_v yourself_o a_o lawful_a civil_a magistrate_n but_o because_o you_o be_v not_o able_a so_o to_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v your_o great_a grief_n that_o you_o have_v so_o little_a influence_n upon_o the_o magistrate_n of_o this_o commonwealth_n flate_z so_o that_o all_o thing_n continue_v out_o of_o frame_n with_o you_o except_o the_o magistrate_n will_v become_v your_o journeyman_n to_o do_v your_o drudgery_n by_o compel_v all_o bond_n and_o free_a poor_a and_o rich_a to_o embrace_v your_o humane_a invention_n and_o imposition_n it_o be_v strange_a to_o see_v that_o whilst_o you_o have_v any_o hope_n of_o this_o then_o curse_v you_o meros_n curse_v you_o bitter_o because_o they_o come_v not_o out_o to_o belp_v the_o lord_n against_o the_o mighty_a but_o these_o expectation_n be_v frustrate_v then_o common_a sense_n we_o will_v not_o say_v honesty_n fail_v in_o you_o for_o even_o you_o that_o have_v lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o war_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o late_a king_n execution_n see_v yourselves_o disappoint_v of_o the_o end_v you_o aim_v at_o wheel_v about_o and_o nothing_o will_v serve_v the_o man_n of_o sin_n clothe_v with_o the_o mantle_n of_o presbytery_n but_o a_o subversion_n of_o our_o liberty_n by_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o young_a tyrant_n and_o destruction_n of_o our_o ever_o honour_a parliament_n thus_o do_v pride_n and_o filthy_a lucre_n cause_n you_o to_o say_v and_o and_o unsay_v do_v and_o undo_v yea_o to_o become_v the_o common_a observation_n among_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o your_o impiety_n and_o dissimulation_n again_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o tithe_n be_v due_a by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o therefore_o the_o minister_n have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o his_o tithe_n as_o the_o landlord_n have_v to_o his_o rent_n first_o we_o answer_v that_o as_o no_o landlord_n can_v true_o claim_v any_o title_n to_o the_o rent_n of_o a_o house_n unless_o he_o have_v a_o property_n in_o the_o house_n and_o reserve_v such_o a_o rent_n from_o the_o tenant_n that_o hold_v it_o so_o neither_o can_v you_o claim_v any_o interest_n or_o right_n unto_o tithe_n before_o you_o can_v prove_v that_o christ_n have_v appoint_v magistrate_n to_o force_v the_o people_n to_o pay_v tithe_n to_o you_o as_o tenant_n pay_v their_o rent_n to_o landlord_n for_o though_o the_o same_o may_v haply_o be_v do_v by_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n as_o in_o time_n of_o papacy_n and_o prelacy_n yet_o the_o bare_a do_v of_o a_o thing_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n justify_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a unless_o it_o be_v in_o obedience_n to_o some_o command_n of_o god_n now_o in_o force_n therefore_o though_o there_o werenever_o so_o many_o civil_a law_n make_v for_o payment_n of_o tyth_n yet_o will_v it_o no_o way_n avail_v you_o for_o we_o hope_v your_o pretend_a divine_a office_n must_v have_v a_o divine_a maintenance_n and_o a_o divine_a mean_n to_o support_v it_o else_o it_o will_v follow_v your_o office_n be_v humane_a for_o always_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o appoint_v the_o office_n will_v in_o prudence_n make_v provision_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o that_o office_n by_o such_o mean_n as_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o we_o judge_v the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o by_o such_o hoterogeneal_a and_o mischievous_a mean_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o than_o which_o all_o the_o ten_o persecution_n do_v never_o so_o much_o hinder_v and_o quench_v the_o propagation_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o this_o coloquindita_n of_o tithe_n have_v scandalize_v and_o disparage_v it_o but_o we_o know_v from_o what_o sink_v this_o water_n of_o death_n have_v its_o original_n from_o no_o other_o very_o than_o the_o conclave_n of_o rome_n by_o who_o antichristian_a power_n tithe_n forsooth_o be_v appoint_v in_o imitation_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n for_o the_o maintain_v popish_a priest_n and_o so_o have_v it_o run_v along_o as_o blood_n in_o the_o vein_n in_o all_o the_o limb_n of_o that_o hierarchy_n so_o that_o we_o hope_v the_o end_n viz._n support_n and_o maintenance_n of_o popish_a priest_n be_v remove_v the_o mean_n will_v be_v also_o lay_v aside_o the_o first_o whereof_o viz._n the_o end_n have_v be_v so_o effectual_o accomplish_v by_o our_o present_a magistrate_n in_o the_o abolish_n and_o ampulate_v one_o great_a limb_n of_o antichrist_n the_o episcopacy_n that_o we_o have_v little_a cause_n to_o doubt_v of_o the_o second_o viz._n the_o mean_n namely_o the_o total_a abolition_n of_o tithe_n and_o though_o for_o present_a you_o be_v permit_v to_o have_v they_o yet_o we_o can_v believe_v that_o the_o parliament_n intention_n therein_o be_v to_o heighten_v your_o pride_n or_o that_o you_o shall_v insult_v over_o their_o friend_n but_o rather_o out_o of_o indulgency_n to_o encourage_v you_o to_o peaceableness_n and_o whereas_o you_o frame_v a_o objection_n that_o tithe_n be_v antichristian_a and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v pay_v any_o long_a we_o answer_v herein_o you_o speak_v true_a than_o you_o be_v aware_a and_o so_o your_o own_o tongue_n be_v fall_v upon_o yourself_o but_o to_o prove_v this_o objection_n false_a you_o raise_v this_o argument_n that_o which_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v be_v not_o antichristian_a but_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v tithe_n ergo._n as_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o false_a teacher_n to_o couch_v their_o word_n and_o phrase_n in_o dark_a and_o obscure_a sentence_n so_o here_o the_o major_a proposition_n be_v deliever_v to_o we_o to_o deceive_v we_o with_o doubtfulness_n of_o expression_n for_o if_o by_o the_o word_n enjoin_v the_o author_n mean_v a_o approve_v of_o what_o be_v not_o then_o abolish_v but_o in_o force_n and_o that_o then_o only_o to_o the_o jew_n the_o proposition_n be_v true_a but_o if_o by_o enjoin_v he_o mean_v a_o new_a institution_n to_o continue_v in_o force_n under_o the_o gospel_n the_o same_o be_v utter_o false_a and_o consequent_o the_o minor_a proposition_n include_v therein_o again_o to_o make_v it_o more_o evident_a that_o the_o major_n be_v no_o pillar_n to_o lean_v upon_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n take_v a_o argument_n arise_v from_o the_o same_o proposition_n thus_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v be_v not_o antichristian_a but_o our_o saviour_n en_fw-fr oyn_v his_o disciple_n to_o prepare_v the_o passeover_n luke_n 22.8_o therefore_o to_o prepare_v the_o passeover_n be_v not_o antichristian_a again_o that_o which_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v be_v not_o antichristian_a but_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v the_o apostle_n not_o to_o go_v into_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gentile_n therefore_o not_o to_o go_v into_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v not_o antichristian_a which_o argument_n because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_o apprehend_v we_o will_v only_o change_v the_o term_n and_o keep_v the_o sense_n and_o so_o present_v it_o to_o your_o consideration_n whatsoever_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v aught_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o practise_v but_o our_o saviour_n enjoin_v the_o apostle_n not_o to_o go_v into_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gentile_n mat._n 10.5_o therefore_o not_o to_o go_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gentile_n ought_v still_o to_o be_v observe_v and_o practise_v how_o absurd_a the_o consequence_n of_o these_o two_o argument_n be_v we_o doubt_v not_o the_o judicious_a reader_n will_v quick_o perceive_v but_o if_o the_o author_n major_a proposition_n shall_v be_v grant_v yet_o reader_n observe_v tha●_n christ_n be_v not_o in_o this_o place_n about_o to_o establish_v a_o maintenance_n for_o his_o gospel-minister_n but_o reprove_v the_o hypocrisy_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n in_o seem_v careful_a to_o perform_v thing_n of_o so_o small_a account_n and_o leave_v undo_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n beside_o the_o jew_n be_v bind_v up_o by_o god_n under_o that_o dispensation_n to_o pay_v tithe_n it_o be_v their_o great_a sin_n to_o neglect_v it_o and_o therefore_o god_n account_v it_o a_o robbery_n do_v to_o himself_o in_o case_n they_o do_v neglect_v it_o mal._n 3.8_o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o the_o purpose_n or_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n see_v it_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o jew_n only_o as_o jew_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o
