A65253	Very many hath been the testimonies of truth and large hath been the declarations that hath been given forth by the servants of the Lord, both sons and daughters of the followers of the Lamb amongst whom I having heard, beleived, and received their report, and the Lord having opened the eye within the vail, that made manifest his living witness, that witnessed to the truth cannot but give in my testimony to those pretious truths that hath been declared by them, though many for the witnessing thereof hath gone through many hardships, great suffering, & long imprisonments ... I say I cannot but give my testimony, and chiefly concerning tythes as the Lord hath brought it to me, that for which hath been the cause of so much persecution in all ages, with something concerning oaths, which so many snares, traps and gins, hath been laid for the righteous innocent servants of the Lord, because they cannot swear. And these are the testimonies given forth from one that loves and fears the Lord, M.W.	Watkins, Morgan, fl. 1653-1670.	1665 (1665)	Wing W1071; ESTC R217155	7,077	9

very_o many_o have_v be_v the_o testimony_n of_o truth_n and_o large_a have_v be_v the_o declaration_n that_o have_v be_v give_v forth_o by_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n both_o son_n and_o

that_o be_v near_o and_o dear_a unto_o they_o i_o say_v i_o can_v but_o give_v in_o my_o testimony_n and_o chief_o concern_v tithe_n as_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v it_o to_o i_o that_o for_o which_o

and_o none_o but_o levys_n tribe_n receive_v tithe_n then_o and_o since_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v no_o where_o determine_v who_o shall_v have_v the_o levite_n portion_n yet_o most_o presumptuous_o the_o covetous_a priest_n they_o take_v it_o not_o only_o the_o first_o second_v and_o three_o year_n bu●_n go_v on_o to_o the_o 4._o 5._o and_o 6._o year_n and_o so_o as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v and_o persecute_v and_o take_v treble_a damage_n which_o god_n do_v never_o command_v if_o they_o have_v it_o not_o and_o never_o care_v for_o the_o poor_a stranger_n the_o poor_a fatherless_a child_n and_o widow_n which_o god_n take_v care_n for_o that_o none_o of_o his_o poor_a people_n or_o helpless_a creature_n may_v want_v as_o many_o of_o their_o own_o poor_a widow_n i_o have_v see_v go_v a_o

before_o the_o chamber_n be_v prepare_v why_o the_o scripture_n tell_v you_o how_o they_o be_v dispose_v of_o for_o in_o the_o three_o year_n which_o be_v the_o year_n of_o tything_n they_o give_v

prepare_v the_o chamber_n &_o the_o people_n have_v bring_v in_o their_o first_o fruit_n and_o tithe_n hezekiah_n question_v with_o the_o priest_n concern_v the_o great_a heap_n of_o tithe_n and_o

the_o 2_o cro._n 31._o to_o 18._o then_o holy_a the_o holy_a god_n command_v they_o they_o who_o command_n be_v all_o pure_a just_a &_o holy_a but_o since_o that_o he_o that_o then_o command_v they_o change_v the_o whole_a law_n give_v a_o new_a covenant_n and_o make_v a_o new_a will_n a_o new_a testament_n and_o so_o abrogate_a the_o old_a and_o disannul_v so_o it_o be_v vanish_v away_o he_o take_v away_o the_o first_o that_o he_o may_v establish_v the_o second_o so_o that_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a now_o for_o all_o to_o know_v and_o for_o all_o to_o see_v the_o end_n of_o what_o
