A84760	A sober answer to an angry epistle, directed to all the publick teachers in this nation, and prefixed to a book, called (by an antiphrasis) Christs innocency pleaded against the cry of the chief priests. Written in hast by Thomas Speed, once a publick teacher himself, and since revolted from that calling to merchandize, and of late grown a merchant of soules, trading subtilly for the Quakers in Bristoll. Wherein the jesuiticall equivocations and subtle insinuations, whereby he endeavours secretly to infuse the whole venome of Quaking doctrines, into undiscerning readers, are discovered; a catlogue of the true and genuine doctrines of the Quakers is presented, and certaine questions depending between us and them, candidly disputed, / by [brace] Christopher Fowler & Simon Ford, [brace] ministers of the Gospel in Reding,	Fowler, Christopher, 1610?-1678.; Ford, Simon, 1619?-1699.	1656 (1656)	Wing F1694; Thomason E883_1; ESTC R207293	63,879	81

for_o priest_n which_o law_n differ_v from_o that_o of_o tithe_n very_o much_o however_o that_o scripture_n will_v not_o stead_v you_o without_o interpretation_n and_o that_o you_o renounce_v but_o to_o gratify_v you_o we_o will_v suppose_v your_o meaning_n and_o interpretation_n sect._n 24_o for_o once_o though_o that_o be_v more_o favour_n than_o you_o will_v show_v we_o and_o upon_o your_o own_o supposition_n try_v one_o argument_n with_o you_o and_o that_o be_v this_o if_o the_o abolition_n of_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n depend_v upon_o the_o abolition_n of_o the_o priesthood_n to_o which_o they_o be_v due_a then_o we_o hope_v you_o will_v allow_v we_o that_o if_o the_o priesthood_n to_o which_o tithe_n be_v once_o due_a and_o that_o before_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v not_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o tithe_n to_o that_o priesthood_n be_v not_o abolish_v but_o we_o shall_v prove_v that_o the_o priesthood_n to_o which_o tithe_n be_v once_o due_a and_o that_o long_a before_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v in_o be_v be_v not_o abolish_v which_o if_o we_o do_v we_o hope_v we_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o conclude_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o abolishment_n of_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n but_o it_o be_v still_o in_o force_n that_o the_o priesthood_n to_o which_o tithe_n be_v original_o due_a be_v not_o abolish_v we_o prove_v thus_o from_o the_o same_o chapter_n the_o priesthood_n to_o which_o tithe_n be_v before_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n due_a be_v the_o melchizedekian_n priesthood_n but_o the_o melchizedekian_n priesthood_n or_o priesthood_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedek_n be_v not_o abolish_v for_o it_o be_v christ_n priesthood_n heb._n 16_o 17_o verse_n therefore_o the_o priesthood_n to_o which_o tithe_n be_v original_o due_a be_v not_o abolish_v all_o that_o we_o suppose_v herein_o be_v to_o be_v prove_v be_v that_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o melchizedek_v order_n of_o priesthood_n and_o so_o still_o remain_v sect._n 25_o due_a to_o christ_n who_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o that_o order_n now_o for_o proof_n of_o this_o we_o refer_v you_o high_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n viz._n to_o

than_o once_o or_o twice_o abraham_n in_o the_o apostle_n phrase_n 5._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d v._o 9_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d v._o 6._o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d v._o 5._o be_v

levi's_fw-la tithing_n of_o the_o people_n by_o commandment_n v._o 5._o now_o if_o the_o word_n as_o apply_v to_o the_o levite_n signify_v to_o require_v tithe_n as_o it_o do_v it_o seem_v unlikely_a it_o be_v use_v with_o relation_n to_o melchizedek_n to_o denote_v a_o receive_n of_o tithe_n by_o way_n of_o gratuity_n only_o 2._o we_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n which_o be_v to_o advance_v melchizedek_v priesthood_n as_o a_o order_n superior_a to_o levi's_fw-la this_o the_o apostle_n prove_v because_o levi_n himself_o in_o abraham_n loin_n pay_v tithe_n to_o melchizedek_n v._o 9_o now_o have_v melchizedek_n receive_v tithe_n from_o levi_n in_o abraham_n loin_n as_o of_o courtesy_n only_o and_o not_o of_o debt_n it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o poor_a argument_n to_o prove_v melchizedek_n a_o great_a priest_n which_o will_v as_o well_o prove_v a_o beggar_n a_o great_a man_n than_o a_o prince_n because_o the_o beggar_n receive_v from_o he_o it_o may_v be_v a_o sum_n of_o money_n out_o of_o his_o courtesy_n 3._o we_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o abraham_n pay_v the_o tithe_n to_o melchizedek_n with_o relation_n to_o his_o blessing_n of_o he_o which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n and_o show_v melchizedek_n to_o be_v abraham_n and_o so_o levi's_fw-la superior_a v._o 6_o 7._o so_o that_o melchizedek_n as_o a_o priest_n receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o christ_n in_o melchizedek_n receive_v they_o from_o both_o abraham_n and_o levi_n which_o possible_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n reserve_v even_o under_o the_o law_n the_o ten_o of_o the_o tithe_n as_o a_o acknowledgement_n or_o high_a rent_n to_o christ_n the_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchizedek_n to_o show_v that_o levi_n hold_v they_o of_o he_o numb_a 18._o 26_o 27_o 28._o which_o ten_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o aaron_n the_o high_a priest_n who_o be_v a_o type_n of_o christ_n possible_o you_o may_v according_a to_o the_o garb_n of_o your_o generation_n sect._n 26_o reject_v these_o thing_n as_o our_o dark_a reason_n but_o see_v your_o own_o assertion_n and_o

you_o may_v here_o gather_v our_o answer_n to_o your_o three_o quaeres_fw-la before_o mention_v viz._n to_o the_o first_o that_o we_o grant_v a_o end_n of_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n in_o

argument_n be_v answer_v we_o suppose_v tithe_n to_o be_v and_o therefore_o be_v not_o by_o receive_v they_o oblige_v to_o leviticall_a service_n but_o gospell-administrations_a these_o thing_n we_o have_v a_o little_a enlarge_v upon_o to_o let_v you_o know_v sect._n 27_o that_o we_o be_v not_o altogether_o so_o destitute_a of_o scripture-warrant_a for_o receive_v yea_o require_v tithe_n even_o in_o kind_n as_o you_o insult_o enough_o insinuate_v we_o to_o be_v whether_o these_o argument_n conclude_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o tithe_n or_o no_o deserve_v the_o consideration_n of_o able_a man_n than_o you_o or_o we_o to_o who_o we_o humble_o submit_v our_o conception_n herein_o however_o suppose_v the_o law_n of_o tithe_n be_v as_o you_o say_v leviticall_a and_o mere_o so_o in_o its_o

maintenance_n from_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a by_o law_n we_o confess_v it_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n blameworthy_a because_o in_o case_n of_o indigency_n and_o necessity_n it_o be_v every_o man_n

that_o minister_n have_v no_o legal_a right_n to_o their_o ten_o and_o then_o to_o force_v it_o from_o any_o be_v sinful_a till_o which_o we_o shall_v conceive_v it_o in_o itself_o as_o lawful_a for_o a_o minister_n to_o sue_v for_o his_o ten_o as_o for_o another_o man_n to_o put_v in_o suit_n a_o just_a bond._n 2._o that_o the_o minister_n

concern_v we_o we_o can_v see_v how_o we_o may_v be_v allow_v shoe_n to_o our_o foot_n more_o than_o purse_n and_o scrip_n and_o then_o possible_o we_o may_v please_v you_o better_o see_v we_o shall_v be_v more_o like_o your_o good_a friend_n the_o franciscan_a friar_n who_o be_v the_o only_a man_n that_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o since_o our_o saviour_n send_v out_o the_o apostle_n upon_o that_o extraordinary_a errand_n who_o have_v think_v themselves_o concern_v to_o walk_v by_o that_o rule_n wherefore_o if_o you_o must_v have_v minister_n of_o that_o character_n you_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o fit_v yourselves_o among_o they_o for_o our_o part_n we_o bless_v god_n that_o yet_o provide_v better_a for_o we_o and_o while_o he_o continue_v to_o do_v so_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v a_o

concern_v this_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o little_a debate_n with_o you_o and_o first_o we_o desire_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o tithe_n be_v pay_v before_o ever_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n

we_o frequent_o meet_v withal_o from_o the_o man_n of_o your_o principle_n that_o these_o be_v voluntary_a act_n in_o those_o patriarch_n however_o we_o observe_v it_o be_v lawful_a to_o give_v and_o receive_v they_o then_o and_o it_o lie_v on_o you_o to_o prove_v when_o it_o become_v unlawful_a but_o further_a we_o demand_v by_o what_o light_n they_o walk_v in_o so_o do_v be_v it_o by_o a_o
