A87828	Seven questions about the controversie betweene the Church of England, and the Separatists and Anabaptists, breifely [sic] discussed. 1. Whether is the Church of England as it now stands a true church? 2. Whether the Church of England be a right nationall church? 3. Whether are the ministers in the Church of England sent of God, and so are true ministers or not? 4. Whether is the baptisme of infants a true and lawfull baptisme or no? 5. Whether it be lawfull to be rebaptized or not? 6. Whether it is lawfull to separate from all the publike ordinances and Christian assemblies in our English church, because there are some defects in discipline, and in other things amongst us? 7. Whether is it necessarie to demolish our churches (steeple-houses as the Separatists call them,) and to build them in other places, because they were built by idolators for idolatrous worship, were abused with images, and dedicated to saints?

a_o ten_o part_n of_o all_o why_o be_v this_o compare_v with_o leviticall_a tithe_n which_o be_v pay_v yearly_a if_o this_o be_v not_o also_o usual_a and_o continual_a the_o apostle_n will_v not_o use_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n of_o one_o only_a action_n unless_o it_o show_v the_o common_a use_n and_o practice_v how_o tithe_n be_v then_o pay_v to_o the_o priest_n as_o by_o common_a use_n and_o practice_v they_o be_v afterward_o pay_v to_o the_o levite_n beside_o i_o think_v with_o judicious_a calvin_n that_o abraham_n pay_v tithe_n not_o of_o the_o spoil_n but_o of_o his_o own_o good_n because_o it_o be_v say_v gen._n 14.22.23_o that_o abraham_n have_v lift_v up_o his_o hand_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v not_o take_v so_o much_o as_o a_o thread_n or_o shoe_n latchet_n of_o that_o which_o be_v take_v which_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o king_n of_o sodom_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o he_o pay_v no_o tithe_n of_o the_o spoil_n see_v he_o will_v not_o account_v any_o part_n thereof_o his_o own_o the_o next_o testimony_n before_o the_o law_n be_v gen._n 28.20.21_o etc._n etc._n from_o hence_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v the_o general_a opinion_n of_o the_o godly_a before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v that_o tithe_n ought_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n for_o otherwise_o jacob_n do_v offend_v unless_o he_o know_v that_o this_o thing_n please_v god_n as_o be_v appoint_v by_o he_o object_n but_o jacob_n vow_v a_o vow_n to_o give_v the_o ten_o now_o no_o moral_a thing_n may_v be_v vow_v because_o we_o be_v bind_v without_o a_o vow_n to_o perform_v such_o thing_n answer_n yet_o its_o lawful_a to_o vow_v moral_a duty_n which_o god_n command_v we_o to_o bind_v ourselves_o to_o more_o careful_a obedience_n to_o excite_v our_o

vow_v tithe_n to_o god_n for_o ever_o as_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v his_o god_n jacob_n in_o this_o vow_n i_o think_v vow_v not_o for_o himself_o alone_o but_o for_o his_o seed_n that_o shall_v succeed_v because_o the_o vision_n which_o jacob_n see_v concern_v all_o his_o posterity_n so_o do_v his_o vow_n god_n promise_v many_o blessing_n to_o he_o and_o his_o seed_n he_o vow_v holy_a

shall_v tithe_n be_v god_n inheritance_n because_o as_o i_o say_v his_o vow_n concern_v his_o seed_n as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o than_o himself_o and_o those_o be_v his_o seed_n who_o be_v more_o

the_o scope_n of_o this_o place_n be_v to_o set_v forth_o the_o greatness_n and_o the_o honourable_a condition_n of_o melchizedek_n and_o consequent_o of_o jesus_n christ_n 2._o melchisedeck_n receive_v of_o tithe_n the_o apostle_n make_v a_o special_a argument_n of_o his_o greatness_n viz._n his_o receive_a tithe_n of_o abraham_n who_o offspring_n the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n take_v tithe_n 3._o melchizedek_n be_v as_o great_a as_o ever_o he_o be_v and_o so_o in_o all_o thing_n as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o that_o

the_o same_o if_o christ_n take_v no_o tithe_n neither_o have_v right_a to_o take_v they_o see_v the_o apostle_n urge_v this_o as_o a_o main_a argument_n of_o his_o greatness_n his_o scope_n be_v to_o prove_v melchizedek_n more_o excellent_a than_o aaron_n or_o abraham_n himself_o or_o then_o any_o of_o the_o jewish_a nation_n and_o consequent_o christ_n more_o excellent_a that_o the_o hebrew_n

&_o prove_v great_a than_o he_o and_o by_o consequence_n then_o levi_n and_o the_o high_a priest_n spring_v of_o he_o for_o so_o much_o as_o levi_n himself_o be_v then_o in_o abraham_n loin_n pay_v tithe_n unto_o he_o and_o be_v bless_v of_o he_o from_o all_o this_o it_o follow_v plain_o that_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o regard_n they_o be_v christ_n ambassador_n to_o reconcile_v people_n to_o god_n and_o to_o bless_v they_o with_o conversion_n by_o preach_v the_o word_n because_o tithe_n be_v christ_n and_o melchizedeks_n as_o they_o be_v a_o

follow_v not_o from_o no_o practice_n to_o infer_v no_o right_n for_o the_o apostle_n travel_v from_o place_n to_o place_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n that_o then_o this_o can_v not_o be_v well_o

the_o business_n i_o speak_v of_o object_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v be_v call_v in_o a_o church_n way_n by_o the_o church_n and_o not_o be_v obtrude_v upon_o they_o as_o

at_o his_o people_n election_n of_o he_o to_o such_o a_o charge_n as_o his_o outward_a call_n and_o will_v look_v at_o the_o episcopal_a ordination_n as_o a_o mere_a ceremony_n which_o can_v nullify_v his_o divine_a call_n from_o god_n and_o the_o church_n 2._o i_o conceive_v that_o sometime_o a_o minister_n may_v be_v send_v of_o god_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n when_o the_o people_n desire_v he_o not_o as_o after_o christ_n ascension_n the_o apostle_n disperse_v the_o gospel_n in_o divers_a heathenish_a nation_n so_o may_v it_o now_o fall_v out_o if_o a_o minister_n shall_v go_v and_o preach_v among_o the_o pagan_n and_o convert_v divers_a of_o they_o to_o the_o truth_n for_o aught_o i_o see_v he_o may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v a_o minister_n send_v of_o god_n 3._o though_o our_o land_n

a_o profane_a parish_n where_o no_o mean_n of_o grace_n ever_o be_v nor_o any_o godly_a christian_a ever_o dwell_v shall_v from_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o preach_v make_v
