do_v increase_v it_o yet_o further_o leu._n 17.5_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n shall_v bring_v their_o offering_n which_o they_o will_v offer_v abroad_o in_o the_o field_n and_o present_v they_o at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o he_o that_o fail_v herein_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o from_o his_o people_n the_o equity_n of_o this_o law_n be_v great_a and_o remain_v still_o viz._n that_o nothing_o be_v attempt_v in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n without_o special_a direction_n and_o warrant_v of_o his_o word_n which_o equity_n in_o this_o particular_a of_o bring_v their_o offering_n to_o the_o door_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n be_v ground_v upon_o two_o reason_n first_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o altar_n may_v thereby_o have_v a_o due_a proportion_n of_o maintenance_n second_o that_o by_o these_o public_a assembly_n the_o purity_n of_o doctrine_n may_v be_v keep_v inviolate_a as_o for_o the_o first_o there_o be_v a_o honour_n due_a unto_o the_o minister_n for_o their_o entertainment_n who_o go_v a_o warfare_n of_o the_o own_o cost_n who_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n and_o eat_v not_o so_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o who_o feed_v a_o flock_n and_o eat_v not_o of_o his_o milk_n of_o the_o flock_n that_o which_o be_v command_v in_o the_o law_n to_o be_v give_v be_v the_o ten_o part_n of_o all_o their_o increase_n which_o be_v once_o sequester_v from_o private_a use_n and_o consecrate_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n may_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o see_v be_v alter_v for_o i_o take_v tithe_n to_o be_v due_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n a_o matter_n that_o will_v be_v think_v hard_a to_o prove_v yet_o first_o understand_v the_o error_n of_o those_o that_o suppose_v tithe_n to_o have_v draw_v their_o original_n from_o the_o leviticall_a law_n and_o that_o be_v abrogate_a they_o imagine_v tithe_n also_o to_o cease_v or_o at_o least_o to_o remain_v by_o positive_a law_n alone_o behold_v a_o double_a misconceit_n first_o tithe_n be_v pay_v among_o god_n people_n long_o before_o any_o law_n be_v give_v as_o we_o read_v of_o abraham_n gen._n 14._o he_o give_v unto_o melchisedech_n the_o ten_o of_o all_o his_o spoil_n and_o jacob_n vow_v in_o bethel_n that_o he_o will_v give_v god_n the_o tithe_n of_o all_o he_o have_v gen._n 28._o again_o in_o case_n the_o original_n of_o tithe_n have_v be_v by_o the_o leviticall_a law_n yet_o tithe_n need_v not_o cease_v as_o soon_o as_o that_o be_v abrogate_a i_o hold_v this_o for_o a_o rule_n that_o those_o law_n be_v perpetual_a which_o have_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n but_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n have_v a_o perpetual_a cause_n namely_o the_o entertainment_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n be_v perpetual_a consider_v again_o what_o abraham_n do_v he_o give_v the_o ten_o of_o all_o thing_n to_o who_o to_o melchisedech_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o high_a god_n when_o sure_o 400._o year_n before_o god_n give_v any_o law_n for_o tithe_n whereupon_o i_o do_v infer_v that_o this_o law_n of_o tithe_n be_v grave_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n before_o it_o be_v write_v in_o table_n and_o so_o consequent_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n else_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o jacob_n do_v vow_n and_o abraham_n do_v pay_v nothing_o but_o tithe_n what_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o tithe_n be_v pay_v by_o abraham_n and_o vow_v by_o jacob_n at_o all_o adventure_n and_o so_o they_o stumble_v by_o chance_n upon_o that_o which_o god_n afterward_o establish_v by_o law_n no_o no_o these_o patriarch_n though_o they_o be_v reverend_a and_o holy_a man_n give_v god_n no_o precedent_n to_o make_v his_o law_n by_o but_o god_n by_o a_o secret_a instinct_n move_v these_o holy_a man_n to_o do_v those_o thing_n before_o law_n which_o afterward_o he_o establish_v for_o law_n when_o the_o gentile_n have_v no_o law_n yet_o by_o nature_n do_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v they_o not_o say_v the_o apostle_n a_o law_n to_o themselves_o and_o why_o because_o they_o show_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n after_o this_o sort_n he_o move_v judah_n to_o give_v sentence_n against_o whoredom_n before_o any_o law_n be_v write_v to_o punish_v it_o so_o he_o move_v noah_n to_o condemn_v cham_n for_o his_o unreverend_a behaviour_n before_o the_o commandment_n be_v give_v to_o honour_v father_n or_o mother_n so_o he_o move_v jacob_n to_o detest_v theft_n and_o to_o

challenge_v laban_n for_o his_o wrongful_a imputation_n before_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v and_o even_o thus_o he_o move_v abraham_n to_o pay_v tithe_n to_o melchisedech_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o high_a god_n before_o the_o law_n be_v ordain_v to_o pay_v tithe_n and_o the_o law_n you_o know_v ordain_v tithe_n to_o be_v pay_v to_o the_o child_n of_o levy_v but_o abraham_n pay_v tithe_n to_o melchisedech_n who_o priesthood_n be_v of_o another_o order_n than_o the_o child_n of_o levy_v be_v to_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o all_o priest_n whether_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n afore_o the_o law_n or_o after_o the_o law_n here_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v some_o ask_v how_o it_o happen_v then_o that_o christ_n that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n make_v no_o express_a mention_n of_o tithe_n to_o be_v pay_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o while_o christ_n live_v the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o abrogate_a and_o after_o it_o continue_v some_o space_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n until_o the_o dissolution_n of_o that_o commonwealth_n that_o the_o ceremony_n ordain_v of_o god_n himself_o may_v be_v honourable_o bury_v during_o which_o time_n it_o be_v unseasonable_a for_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n to_o snatch_v tithe_n unto_o themselves_o which_o by_o law_n be_v yet_o settle_v in_o the_o levite_n but_o after_o that_o legal_a priesthood_n be_v abolish_v then_o to_o who_o tithe_n belong_v christ_n himself_o declare_v not_o in_o word_n but_o by_o his_o fact_n &_o deed_n upon_o which_o i_o build_v the_o foundation_n of_o my_o argument_n thus_o that_o which_o christ_n receive_v in_o right_a of_o his_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v due_a to_o all_o the_o minister_n that_o succeed_v he_o in_o the_o same_o but_o christ_n receive_v tithe_n in_o right_a of_o his_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n tithe_n therefore_o be_v due_a to_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o same_o the_o assumption_n be_v prove_v in_o the_o 7._o chap._n to_o the_o hebr._n ver._n 9_o and_o to_o say_v as_o the_o thing_n be_v levy_v also_o which_o receive_v tithe_n pay_v tithe_n in_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o father_n abraham_n when_o melchisedech_n meet_v he_o the_o apostle_n purpose_n in_o that_o place_n be_v to_o prove_v the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n great_a than_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n he_o prove_v it_o by_o two_o reason_n 1._o the_o less_o be_v bless_v of_o the_o great_a christ_n in_o melchisedech_n bless_v abraham_n and_o levy_v therefore_o abraham_n and_o levy_v be_v less_o than_o christ_n his_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o matter_n that_o i_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o less_o pay_v tithe_n unto_o the_o great_a abraham_n the_o father_n of_o levy_v pay_v tithe_n to_o christ_n in_o melchisedech_n therefore_o levy_v do_v acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v great_a priest_n how_o because_o levy_v pay_v tithe_n that_o be_v due_a to_o the_o priest_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o melchisedech_n the_o figure_n of_o christ_n here_o two_o thing_n be_v remarkable_a first_o that_o tithe_n be_v perpetual_o allot_v to_o the_o priest_n else_o the_o apostle_n argument_n have_v carry_v no_o great_a solidity_n second_o that_o melchisedech_n neither_o give_v the_o blessing_n nor_o receive_v tithe_n in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o in_o the_o person_n and_o right_n of_o christ_n so_o as_o that_o which_o melchisedech_n do_v in_o figure_n be_v in_o deed_n and_o truth_n do_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v christ_n that_o give_v the_o blessing_n unto_o abraham_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o efficacy_n thereof_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o receive_v tithe_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v conclude_v not_o wrongful_o he_o command_v in_o particular_a term_n to_o give_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n in_o general_a doctrine_n to_o yield_v every_o man_n his_o own_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v well_o imagine_v that_o he_o will_v forestall_v or_o intercept_v any_o other_o due_a but_o receive_v his_o own_o by_o what_o right_a sure_o not_o in_o the_o right_n of_o his_o godhead_n whereby_o the_o supreme_a dominion_n of_o all_o thing_n rest_v in_o he_o but_o by_o the_o title_n and_o in_o the_o right_n of_o his_o priesthood_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n argue_v you_o that_o be_v hearer_n may_v make_v this_o use_n of_o my_o speech_n that_o see_v tithe_n be_v pay_v by_o abraham_n vow_v by_o jacob_n prescribe_v by_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n before_o the_o law_n allot_v to_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n continue_v since_o the_o law_n see_v the_o church_n have_v be_v in_o just_a and_o good_a possession_n of_o they_o above_o 4000_o year_n see_v they_o be_v dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n see_v they_o be_v devote_a unto_o god_n and_o the_o title_n or_o right_a that_o man_n have_v before_o donation_n do_v by_o the_o act_n and_o from_o any_o such_o time_n of_o donation_n remain_v the_o proper_a possession_n of_o god_n until_o the_o world_n end_n unless_o himself_o renounce_v or_o relinquish_v it_o yield_v your_o tithe_n willing_o because_o you_o can_v hold_v they_o from_o your_o minister_n without_o impiety_n in_o such_o case_n the_o lord_n love_v a_o cheerful_a giver_n et_fw-la nos_fw-la libenter_fw-la
