of_o the_o 15._o v._n second_o jacob_n do_v not_o vow_n to_o make_v this_o place_n the_o house_n of_o god_n of_o his_o own_o head_n but_o god_n have_v first_o make_v the_o place_n to_o be_v his_o

to_o make_v this_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v it_o his_o own_o house_n already_o thus_o far_o then_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o every_o whit_n of_o this_o vow_n

endure_v as_o have_v be_v show_v cap._n 4._o but_o here_o now_o i_o think_v it_o sit_v to_o show_v something_o more_o full_o that_o howsoever_o the_o levite_n have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o tithe_n while_o they_o administer_v at_o the_o altar_n and_o in_o the_o temple_n &_o tabernacle_n yet_o tithe_n be_v not_o any_o such_o leviticall_a matter_n as_o be_v to_o cease_v when_o the_o child_n of_o

of_o god_n but_o i_o shall_v by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n show_v the_o contrary_a by_o good_a reason_n thus_o therefore_o i_o argue_v that_o which_o be_v neither_o ceremonial_a nor_o judicial_a be_v not_o mere_o leviticall_a payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v neither_o ceremonial_a nor_o judicial_a therefore_o payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v not_o mere_a leviticall_a the_o proposition_n be_v manifest_o true_a for_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n be_v either_o moral_a judicial_a or_o ceremonial_a it_o follow_v evident_o that_o what_o be_v neither_o ceremonial_a nor_o judicial_a be_v moral_a and_o therefore_o not_o leviticall_a for_o howsoever_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v of_o force_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n yet_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o leviticall_a for_o
