A66367	Truth vindicated, against sacriledge, atheism, and prophaneness and likewise against the common invaders of the rights of Kings, and demonstrating the vanity of man in general.

the_o priest_n give_v out_o of_o that_o increase_n will_v be_v correspondent_a to_o the_o portion_n of_o the_o husbandman_n more_o or_o less_o as_o the_o corn_n in_o his_o barn_n and_o the_o

that_o time_n wherein_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v in_o force_n and_o not_o to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o christian_n i_o answer_v not_o so_o but_o they_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o

most_o right_o unto_o the_o tithe_n the_o preacher_n that_o be_v follower_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n that_o reject_v he_o but_o now_o when_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n

therefore_o see_v they_o will_v neither_o believe_v and_o follow_v christ_n nor_o yield_v the_o tithe_n to_o they_o that_o preach_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n it_o fall_v out_o by_o the_o just_a

therefore_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n word_n in_o the_o 28_o of_o s._n matthew_n and_o the_o 20_o verse_n be_v as_o i_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v observe_v and_o do_v not_o only_o what_o be_v

4._o i_o say_v that_o s._n paul_n in_o say_v that_o as_o they_o which_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n live_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o they_o that_o wait_v at_o the_o altar_n

although_o in_o those_o primitive_a time_n the_o tithe_n be_v not_o demand_v nor_o by_o any_o positive_a law_n command_v by_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o pay_v until_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n have_v pay_v they_o yet_o this_o prove_v not_o that_o it_o be_v not_o due_a because_o it_o be_v not_o pay_v as_o it_o be_v no_o consequent_a that_o because_o god_n command_v not_o cain_n and_o abel_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n nor_o the_o son_n of_o sh_v to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o l●rd_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o their_o duty_n to_o do_v it_o for_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o we_o do_v not_o and_o so_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o pay_v tithe_n though_o they_o pay_v they_o not_o sol._n 2_o 2._o i_o say_v that_o before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o age_n have_v many_o thing_n in_o use_n which_o be_v not_o answerable_a to_o that_o perfection_n which_o christ_n require_v in_o his_o follower_n and_o therefore_o he_o enjoin_v we_o to_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v not_o and_o so_o do_v the_o law_n itself_o both_o inhibit_v they_o to_o do_v some_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v amiss_o and_o command_v many_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v which_o they_o neglect_v and_o therefore_o that_o first_o age_n of_o the_o world_n be_v but_o the_o infancy_n of_o god_n church_n and_o the_o day_n of_o initiation_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v allege_v as_o example_n for_o our_o imitation_n for_o when_o i_o be_v a_o child_n i_o do_v as_o a_o child_n but_o when_o i_o be_v a_o man_n i_o put_v away_o

the_o priest_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n as_o afterward_o and_o especial_o as_o now_o in_o our_o time_n because_o then_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o every_o family_n be_v the_o priest_n and_o he_o by_o the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o birthright_n be_v to_o have_v a_o double_a part_n and_o portion_n of_o inheritance_n and_o therefore_o sol._n 4_o 4._o and_o last_o i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o
