father_n when_o melchisedech_n meet_v he_o 3_o about_o the_o manner_n how_o levi_n be_v tithe_v in_o abraham_n some_o question_n have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o schoolman_n or_o if_o haply_o make_v by_o

if_o i_o mistake_v not_o be_v this_o that_o if_o levi_n moses_n or_o aaron_n have_v be_v in_o full_a possession_n of_o their_o inheritance_n unto_o tithe_n from_o their_o brother_n at_o that_o time_n when_o melchisedech_n meet_v abraham_n or_o if_o melchisedech_n have_v live_v in_o canaan_n unto_o their_o day_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v as_o their_o father_n abraham_n do_v that_o be_v to_o
