enough_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n and_o old_a covenant_n now_o the_o priest_n do_v not_o go_v and_o take_v this_o whole_a nation_n the_o eleven_o tribe_n and_o cast_v they_o into_o prison_n and_o spoil_v their_o good_n and_o take_v treble_a damage_n of_o they_o you_o do_v not_o read_v they_o do_v so_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o any_o of_o the_o patriarch_n or_o any_o of_o the_o

of_o the_o law_n &_o according_a to_o the_o law_n into_o the_o storehouse_n which_o if_o they_o do_v not_o do_v it_o they_o be_v curse_v with_o a_o curse_n as_o malachy_n say_v and_o if_o they_o do_v bring_v their_o tithe_n into_o the_o store_n house_n that_o there_o may_v be_v meat_n enough_o for_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n and_o widow_n and_o fatherless_a then_o the_o lord_n open_v the_o

himself_o once_o for_o all_o the_o offering_n have_v put_v down_o the_o priest_n that_o offer_v and_o their_o offering_n and_o maintenance_n and_o have_v take_v away_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o establish_v the_o second_o who_o become_v a_o curse_n to_o take_v away_o the_o curse_n and_o make_v under_o the_o law_n to_o redeem_v we_o from_o under_o the_o law_n of_o work_n and_o be_v not_o

apostle_n go_v about_o to_o alter_v his_o command_n which_o be_v free_o you_o have_v receive_v free_o give_v in_o his_o new_a covenant_n and_o where_o do_v ever_o christ_n to_o his_o apostle_n or_o his_o apostle_n to_o other_o command_v or_o direct_v that_o they_o shall_v take_v or_o demand_v tithe_n or_o the_o people_n ten_o for_o preach_v the_o gospel_n as_o you_o call_v christian_n have_v do_v since_o the_o apostle_n day_n which_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v your_o rule_n for_o your_o life_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n therefore_o show_v we_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o ever_o they_o do_v cast_v any_o into_o prison_n for_o not_o give_v they_o tithe_n and_o offering_n as_o you_o have_v do_v and_o hale_v they_o into_o court_n assize_n and_o session_n show_v one_o example_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n &_o be_v not_o angry_a at_o we_o because_o we_o search_v the_o scripture_n as_o those_o noble_a berean_o do_v to_o see_v whether_o these_o

and_o uphold_v you_o in_o these_o thing_n which_o you_o can_v prove_v by_o scripture_n for_o your_o doctrine_n and_o practice_n therefore_o be_v you_o angry_a and_o persecute_v we_o because_o we_o

unto_o death_n and_o spoil_v their_o good_n that_o can_v give_v you_o tithe_n according_a to_o the_o old_a law_n such_o who_o be_v the_o true_a christian_n and_o child_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n and_o be_v the_o faithful_a witness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v redeem_v they_o from_o under_o the_o law_n and_o have_v take_v away_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o now_o do_v not_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o say_v why_o be_v not_o the_o curse_n in_o the_o old_a law_n sufficient_a for_o all_o the_o

which_o he_o that_o think_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n be_v justify_v by_o that_o by_o which_o no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v save_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o be_v fall_v from_o grace_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o law_n of_o commandment_n that_o command_v tithe_n to_o the_o priest_n and_o their_o offering_n i_o say_v again_o why_o be_v not_o the_o curse_n sufficient_a for_o you_o to_o pour_v out_o your_o curse_n upon_o the_o people_n which_o do_v not_o bring_v in_o their_o tithe_n and_o offering_n not_o into_o the_o priest_n barn_n but_o into_o the_o
