the_o leviticall_a law_n though_o this_o i_o profess_v not_o to_o claim_v our_o tithe_n by_o the_o mandate_n give_v in_o law_n leviticall_a now_o our_o question_n be_v only_o of_o those_o tithe_n which_o we_o call_v stipendiary_a the_o rest_n be_v two_o sort_n of_o they_o apparent_o ceremonious_a the_o three_o as_o plain_o a_o judicial_a ordinance_n and_o of_o those_o tithe_n stipendiary_a this_o be_v that_o we_o affirm_v that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o belong_v for_o ever_o to_o minister_n of_o holy_a thing_n and_o therefore_o in_o these_o day_n to_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n who_o alone_o have_v now_o to_o do_v with_o public_a ministration_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n our_o reason_n be_v these_o first_o ground_v on_o heb._n 7.6.8_o he_o who_o descent_n be_v not_o count_v from_o they_o receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o ver_fw-la 8._o here_o man_n that_o die_v receive_v tithe_n but_o there_o he_o receave_v they_o of_o who_o it_o be_v witness_v that_o

tithe_n be_v pay_v to_o priest_n before_o the_o levitical_a law_n be_v give_v therefore_o their_o payment_n be_v found_v rather_o on_o moral_a then_o ceremonial_a law_n to_o which_o answer_n be_v well_o give_v that_o by_o as_o good_a inference_n sacrifice_v of_o beast_n may_v be_v prove_v a_o morality_n since_o it_o also_o be_v in_o use_n before_o give_v of_o the_o law_n by_o moses_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o see_v the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n here_o give_v let_v we_o a_o little_a consider_v the_o frame_n and_o sum_n of_o the_o text_n the_o apostle_n by_o occasion_n of_o

of_o aaron_n by_o avouch_v he_o a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n the_o conclusion_n be_v this_o christ_n priesthood_n be_v more_o excellent_a they_o that_o of_o levi_n or_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a priest_n than_o any_o after_o aaron_n order_n the_o reason_n principal_a lie_v thus_o he_o that_o be_v a_o priest_n after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n be_v a_o great_a
