now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o grace_n more_o intolerable_a than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o nature_n therefore_o tithe_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v require_v as_o a_o duty_n to_o this_o i_o

command_v not_o gain_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 lord_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 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 sol._n 2_o 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 in_o join_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 whâ—n_o i_o be_v a_o child_n i_o do_v as_o a_o child_n but_o when_o

they_o be_v due_a to_o maintain_v 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

we_o that_o be_v christian_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o observe_v either_o the_o ceremonial_a or_o the_o judicial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o all_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v but_o shadow_n
