A95679	Gainsayer convinced: or, An answer to a certain scandalous paper, subscribed and sent by certain seduced and seditious people to a minister in the countrey: in which the calling of the ministry of the Church of England, the nature of a visible church, the power of the magistrate under the gospel, the right of tithes, with many other points now in controversie, are briefly, fully and plainly cleared, to the satisfaction of those that are wavering; also much of the spirit and many of the errours of the Anabaptists of these daies (who call themselves saints) discovered and confuted. / By T.T. Preacher of the word at Kemble in Wiltshire.	Thache, Thomas, b. 1616 or 17.	1649 (1649)	Wing T827; Thomason E568_1; ESTC R206240	79,821	83

that_o by_o the_o word_n law_n there_o the_o apostle_n mean_v tithe_n and_o hence_o you_o conclude_v that_o the_o right_n of_o tithe_n be_v change_v abominable_a ignorance_n and_o abuse_n of_o

here_o be_v only_o to_o draw_v off_o the_o hebrew_n from_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o from_o seek_v perfection_n in_o they_o and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n crucify_v and_o

this_o purpose_n the_o apostle_n set_v forth_o to_o they_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n priesthood_n and_o sacrifice_n above_o the_o priesthood_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o aaron_n and_o levi._n in_o this_o chapter_n he_o set_v forth_o the_o honour_n and_o excellency_n of_o christ_n priesthood_n above_o that_o of_o aaron_n and_o levi_n under_o the_o law_n by_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o

the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n first_o here_o he_o show_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n as_o from_o a_o testimony_n of_o david_n in_o chap._n 5._o from_o that_o absolute_a agreement_n betwixt_o melchisedech_n and_o christ_n the_o part_n whereof_o be_v these_o 1._o as_o melchisedech_n be_v king_n and_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n so_o christ_n 2_o as_o melchisedech_n be_v king_n of_o righteousness_n and_o prince_n of_o peace_n so_o be_v christ_n 3_o as_o melchisedech_n his_o parent_n kindred_n beginning_n and_o end_v of_o life_n be_v not_o record_v so_o christ_n as_o man_n without_o father_n as_o god_n without_o mother_n kindred_n beginning_n or_o end_v of_o life_n therefore_o christ_n be_v true_o a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedech_n second_o have_v show_v that_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n he_o come_v to_o show_v that_o melchisedecs_n priesthood_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o that_o of_o levi_n and_o then_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o he_o who_o be_v a_o priest_n after_o his_o order_n as_o christ_n be_v be_v great_a than_o levi._n this_o the_o apostle_n

melchisedech_n bless_a abraham_n and_o without_o all_o contradiction_n the_o less_o be_v bless_v of_o the_o great_a say_v he_o the_o apostle_n have_v thus_o prove_v the_o person_n and_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v before_o and_o above_o that_o of_o levi_n and_o aaron_n in_o the_o 11._o verse_n he_o show_v that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o levi_n be_v but_o imperfect_a in_o respect_n of_o christ_n priesthood_n and_o therefore_o must_v just_o now_o cease_v and_o be_v abrogate_a when_o the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n be_v come_v according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n in_o

imperfect_a he_o show_v it_o because_o perfection_n viz_o justification_n sanctification_n and_o life_n eternal_a can_v not_o be_v obtain_v by_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n viz_o by_o their_o offering_n sacrifice_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n and_o ram_n and_o lamb_n etc._n etc._n for_o under_o their_o priesthood_n the_o people_n receive_v that_o law_n and_o he_o go_v on_o to_o show_v that_o this_o perfection_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o service_n for_o if_o it_o can_v have_v be_v find_v there_o there_o have_v be_v no_o far_a need_n that_o another_o priest_n shall_v have_v

or_o aaron_n viz_o that_o of_o christ_n be_v rise_v in_o which_o there_o be_v perfection_n viz_o justification_n sanctification_n and_o eternal_a life_n to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o 12._o verse_n he_o show_v they_o that_o the_o priesthood_n be_v change_v and_o therefore_o that_o law_n which_o they_o be_v tie_v to_o under_o aaron_n and_o levi_n viz_o of_o offer_v sacrifice_n of_o bull_n and_o goat_n etc._n etc._n be_v of_o necessity_n change_v and_o therefore_o must_v cease_v to_o they_o this_o law_n he_o say_v be_v change_v because_o the_o priesthood_n be_v change_v under_o which_o this_o law_n be_v execute_v and_o now_o another_o high_a priest_n be_v rise_v viz_o christ_n who_o have_v offer_v a_o sacrifice_n once_o for_o ever_o so_o that_o by_o the_o law_n here_o the_o apostle_n plain_o

upon_o the_o legal_a priesthood_n and_o in_o this_o 12._o verse_n of_o this_o seven_o chapter_n he_o show_v the_o mutual_a relation_n betwixt_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n and_o the_o old_a

be_v bind_v by_o those_o priest_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o sin_n do_v now_o cease_v too_o christ_n have_v once_o for_o all_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o
