can_v well_o be_v answer_v the_o first_o be_v that_o this_o three_o year_n be_v there_o call_v the_o year_n of_o tithing_n there_o be_v no_o probable_a reason_n that_o can_v be_v give_v why_o that_o year_n shall_v be_v call_v peculiar_o the_o year_n of_o tithing_n but_o only_o this_o because_o that_o year_n they_o separate_v three_o tithe_n from_o their_o estate_n one_o more_o than_o on_o other_o year_n if_o the_o tithe_n on_o this_o three_o year_n lay_v up_o for_o the_o poor_a be_v the_o same_o which_o the_o two_o former_a year_n they_o have_v spend_v in_o holy_a feast_n then_o do_v they_o separate_v no_o more_o tithe_n this_o three_o year_n then_o on_o other_o year_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v it_o be_v call_v the_o year_n of_o tithing_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o on_o this_o three_o year_n every_o man_n be_v to_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n and_o there_o to_o make_v a_o solemn_a proâession_n that_o he_o have_v faithful_o pay_v all_o his_o tithe_n and_o it_o be_v no_o way_n probable_a that_o when_o he_o go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n to_o make_v this_o solemn_a profession_n he_o shall_v not_o then_o carry_v with_o he_o those_o second_o tithe_n which_o be_v to_o

the_o year_n of_o tithing_n and_o haste_v give_v it_o unto_o the_o levite_n the_o stranger_n the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o widow_n than_o thou_o shall_v say_v before_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n i_o have_v bring_v away_o the_o hallow_a thing_n out_o of_o my_o house_n and_o also_o have_v give_v they_o unto_o the_o leviâââ_n and_o unto_o the_o stranger_n etc._n etc._n and_o indeed_o what_o be_v

the_o second_o which_o they_o carry_v up_o with_o they_o to_o jerusalem_n therewith_o to_o feast_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o three_o which_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o the_o poor_a e._n chap._n
