receive_v tithe_n now_o follow_v the_o three_o reason_n whereby_o he_o prove_v that_o melchisedec_n be_v great_a than_o the_o leviticall_a priest_n namely_o because_o the_o leviticall_a priest_n receive_v tithe_n yet_o one_o of_o they_o die_v after_o another_o and_o they_o succeed_v one_o another_o in_o the_o priesthood_n but_o melchisedec_n have_v a_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n for_o he_o that_o he_o live_v here_o i._n here_o under_o the_o law_n and_o among_o we_o but_o there_o he_o of_o who_o it_o be_v witness_v that_o he_o live_v there_o where_o we_o read_v that_o abraham_n give_v he_o tithe_n he_o then_o receive_v they_o who_o the_o scripture_n witness_v that_o he_o live_v but_o we_o must_v note_v that_o the_o author_n oppose_v not_o melchisedec_n to_o mortal_a man_n but_o to_o die_a man_n only_o neither_o do_v he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v immortal_a but_o only_o that_o he_o live_v for_o life_n be_v not_o oppose_v to_o mortality_n but_o proper_o to_o death_n and_o there_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o melchisedec_n do_v live_v where_o she_o affirm_v he_o to_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o and_o she_o affirm_v it_o in_o her_o comparison_n of_o he_o with_o christ_n when_o she_o say_v thou_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n psal_n 110.4_o as_o we_o explicate_v it_o before_o in_o this_o chapter_n vers_fw-la 3._o where_o we_o show_v that_o melchisedec_n be_v call_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o because_o he_o exercise_v his_o priesthood_n a_o long_a time_n even_o for_o the_o full_a term_n of_o his_o natural_a life_n and_o that_o he_o live_v so_o long_a a_o priest_n as_o there_o be_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n among_o the_o man_n of_o his_o time_n and_o any_o place_n for_o the_o priesthood_n so_o that_o melchisedec_n in_o his_o priesthood_n resemble_v for_o his_o continuance_n all_o the_o leviticall_a priest_n who_o succeed_v one_o after_o another_o which_o eternity_n of_o his_o be_v but_o umbratilous_a and_o figurative_a as_o we_o say_v of_o christ_n eternity_n and_o therefore_o the_o life_n of_o melchisedec_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o shadow_n of_o that_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o author_n it_o make_v not_o to_o the_o matter_n that_o melchisedec_n do_v at_o last_o yield_v to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o die_v for_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o melchisedec_n for_o himself_o but_o for_o christ_n who_o true_o live_v for_o ever_o it_o suffice_v in_o melchisedec_n that_o the_o eternal_a life_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o some_o manner_n shadow_v and_o signify_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o author_n oppose_v melchisedec_n to_o die_a man_n and_o say_v he_o live_v for_o ever_o for_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o type_n as_o of_o the_o antitype_n we_o many_o time_n so_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o of_o the_o anti-type_n itself_o although_o the_o word_n must_v be_v apply_v figurative_o to_o the_o type_n and_o proper_o to_o the_o antitype_n 9_o and_o as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v levi_n also_o who_o receive_v tithe_n pay_v tithe_n or_o be_v decimate_v in_o abraham_n here_o at_o last_o come_v in_o the_o other_o of_o the_o first_o reason_n which_o we_o say_v be_v bipartite_a and_o wherewith_o the_o author_n now_o confirm_v the_o dignity_n of_o melchisedec_n namely_o that_o when_o melchisedec_n take_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n he_o tithe_v also_o levi_n and_o all_o the_o priest_n spring_v from_o his_o loin_n who_o be_v themselves_o to_o receive_v tithe_n to_o show_v the_o great_a dignity_n of_o melchisedec_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o the_o author_n to_o say_v that_o he_o tithe_v abraham_n himself_o but_o levi_n also_o who_o take_v tithe_n be_v by_o he_o tithe_v in_o abraham_n for_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v take_v tithe_n of_o levi_n when_o he_o take_v they_o of_o he_o in_o who_o loin_n levi_n be_v yet_o latent_fw-la therefore_o in_o a_o figurative_a way_n of_o speech_n the_o author_n say_v that_o levi_n be_v tithe_v through_o abraham_n for_o because_o he_o can_v not_o say_v proper_o that_o levi_n give_v tithe_n to_o melchisedec_n through_o abraham_n therefore_o lest_o his_o word_n shall_v seem_v harsh_a he_o mollify_v they_o thus_o as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v whereby_o he_o plain_o declare_v that_o what_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o levi_n must_v not_o be_v take_v literal_o and_o proper_o but_o in_o a_o certain_a sense_n and_o form_n of_o speech_n levi_n also_o who_o receive_v tithe_n not_o in_o his_o own_o person_n but_o in_o his_o posterity_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o strange_a that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v give_v tithe_n in_o his_o father_n who_o be_v also_o say_v to_o have_v take_v they_o in_o his_o child_n but_o now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o the_o author_n prove_v this_o 10._o for_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o father_n when_o melchisedec_n meet_v he_o here_o he_o prove_v that_o levi_n give_v tithe_n to_o melchisedec_n through_o abraham_n thus_o if_o at_o that_o time_n levi_n have_v be_v a_o person_n sever_v from_o abraham_n and_o have_v enjoy_v his_o estate_n apart_o to_o himself_o this_o fact_n of_o abraham_n in_o give_v tithe_n to_o melchisedec_n have_v nothing_o concern_v he_o but_o because_o levi_n be_v then_o so_o unite_v and_o join_v with_o abraham_n that_o he_o yet_o lay_v couch_v in_o abraham_n loin_n therefore_o he_o also_o be_v just_o account_v to_o have_v give_v tithe_n to_o melchisedec_n in_o or_o through_o abraham_n which_o sentence_n notwithstanding_o must_v not_o be_v transfer_v to_o all_o the_o action_n of_o a_o father_n but_o only_o to_o those_o which_o proper_o consist_v either_o in_o the_o increase_n or_o decrease_v of_o his_o estate_n which_o use_v to_o descend_v to_o his_o child_n by_o right_a of_o inheritance_n and_o the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v such_o a_o action_n for_o it_o so_o much_o decrease_v the_o

especial_o if_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o father_n have_v or_o may_v have_v child_n to_o succeed_v he_o in_o his_o estate_n as_o abraham_n have_v to_o who_o god_n have_v for_o certain_a

impropriety_n in_o his_o word_n as_o we_o note_v before_o hence_o may_v easy_o be_v understand_v that_o which_o together_o with_o the_o author_n we_o affirm_v that_o such_o act_n of_o the_o parent_n must_v be_v extend_v only_o to_o those_o of_o their_o successor_n or_o posterity_n to_o who_o the_o inheritance_n or_o some_o notable_a portion_n of_o their_o good_n shall_v descend_v either_o for_o

it_o signify_v that_o god_n descend_v on_o earth_n to_o publish_v the_o law_n but_o that_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n be_v earthly_a and_o not_o heavenly_a for_o they_o that_o speak_v from_o a_o low_a place_n seem_v to_o speak_v but_o low_a matter_n and_o they_o earthly_a that_o speak_v from_o the_o earth_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n of_o john_n chap._n 3.31_o but_o contrary_o that_o god_n remain_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o descend_v himself_o on_o earth_n either_o in_o his_o own_o person_n or_o in_o the_o person_n of_o another_o have_v speak_v to_o we_o by_o christ_n send_v from_o heaven_n as_o his_o interpreter_n and_o messenger_n what_o else_o can_v this_o signify_v but_o that_o he_o have_v speak_v heavenly_a thing_n and_o that_o christ_n be_v far_o great_a than_o moses_n for_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o forecited_n place_n of_o john_n he_o that_o come_v from_o above_o be_v above_o all_o and_o he_o that_o come_v from_o heaven_n be_v above_o all_o in_o this_o sense_n therefore_o that_o angel_n represent_v god_n must_v stand_v for_o god_n and_o christ_n must_v not_o be_v compare_v with_o that_o angel_n who_o represent_v the_o person_n and_o name_n of_o god_n but_o with_o moses_n and_o the_o difference_n between_o christ_n and_o moses_n must_v stand_v in_o this_o that_o god_n speak_v to_o moses_n on_o earth_n but_o to_o christ_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o god_n send_v moses_n from_o the_o mount_n to_o the_o israelite_n but_o christ_n from_o heaven_n to_o christian_n if_o this_o be_v displease_v to_o any_o man_n which_o yet_o we_o believe_v to_o be_v most_o agreeable_a both_o to_o the_o truth_n and_o to_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o the_o text_n we_o may_v say_v which_o be_v our_o other_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n propose_v and_o another_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n that_o by_o he_o who_o speak_v on_o earth_n must_v be_v understand_v that_o angel_n who_o in_o god_n name_n publish_v the_o law_n on_o mount_n sinai_n and_o by_o he_o who_o speak_v from_o heaven_n must_v be_v understand_v the_o most_o high_a god_n himself_o for_o he_o that_o by_o himself_o deliver_v law_n on_o earth_n do_v thereby_o show_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o most_o high_a god_n for_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n permit_v not_o that_o the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n shall_v depart_v from_o his_o inaccessible_a light_n and_o from_o his_o heavenly_a throne_n to_o descend_v down_o upon_o earth_n but_o he_o that_o offer_v himself_o as_o god_n to_o be_v hear_v from_o heaven_n he_o by_o far_o great_a reason_n must_v be_v reckon_v for_o god_n himself_o but_o you_o will_v say_v when_o do_v god_n himself_o publish_v the_o gospel_n from_o heaven_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v do_v then_o when_o by_o his_o voice_n utter_v from_o heaven_n he_o testify_v that_o christ_n be_v his_o belove_a son_n and_o therefore_o his_o ambassador_n and_o withal_o command_v we_o to_o hear_v he_o for_o shall_v not_o god_n himself_o be_v think_v to_o speak_v to_o we_o from_o heaven_n when_o we_o hear_v that_o doctrine_n which_o god_n himself_o authorise_v by_o his_o voice_n utter_v from_o heaven_n for_o although_o by_o the_o wise_a determination_n of_o god_n the_o promiscuous_a multitude_n hear_v not_o this_o voice_n with_o their_o ear_n yet_o it_o be_v hear_v and_o publish_v by_o they_o who_o testimony_n be_v irrefragable_a but_o in_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o law_n be_v no_o such_o thing_n whence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o even_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o author_n argument_n want_v no_o force_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a crime_n to_o turn_v away_o from_o god_n who_o speak_v from_o heaven_n then_o from_o a_o angel_n who_o speak_v on_o earth_n though_o he_o sustain_v the_o name_n of_o god_n he_o turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o as_o it_o be_v turn_v his_o back_n upon_o he_o who_o refuse_v either_o to_o believe_v or_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n 26._o who_o voice_n then_o shake_v the_o earth_n from_o these_o word_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v gather_v that_o the_o author_n by_o he_o who_o speak_v on_o earth_n understand_v god_n himself_o for_o here_o he_o mainifest_o attribute_v to_o god_n himself_o the_o shake_a of_o the_o earth_n i._o of_o mount_n sinai_n which_o happen_v at_o the_o publish_n of_o the_o law_n from_o thence_o but_o nothing_o hinder_v why_o this_o action_n may_v not_o be_v ascribe_v both_o to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o angel_n who_o in_o publish_v the_o law_n sustain_v the_o person_n of_o god_n as_o likewise_o that_o speak_a or_o utter_v the_o oracle_n a_o little_a before_o mention_v for_o the_o angel_n proper_o and_o immediate_o do_v both_o shake_v the_o earth_n or_o mountain_n and_o also_o speak_v and_o god_n do_v it_o mediate_o by_o that_o very_a angel_n but_o in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v a_o tacit_n answer_v to_o a_o objection_n and_o withal_o a_o strong_a reason_n why_o christian_n must_v obey_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n publish_v by_o christ_n for_o some_o man_n
