A77137	A defence and justification of ministers maintence by tythes. And of infant-baptism, humane learning, and the sword of the magistrate; which some Anabaptists falsely call four sandy pillars, and popish foundations of our ministry and churches. In which tythes are proved to be due by divine right to the ministers of the gospel. All common objections answered, and divers cases of conscience humbly proposed: with a light to clear them. / In a reply to a paper sent by some Anabaptists to Immanuel Bourne, late pastor of the church in Asheover in the county of Derby: now preacher to the congregation at Waltham in the county of Leicester. With a short answer to Anthony Peirson's great case of tythes, &c.	Bourne, Immanuel, 1590-1672.	1659 (1659)	Wing B3851; Thomason E1907_1	92,679	184

for_o christ_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o house_n as_o moses_n hebr._n 3.2_o but_o christ_n no_o where_n forbid_v tithe_n nor_o sert_v any_o maintenance_n instead_o of_o tithe_n and_o therefore_o tithe_n certain_o be_v to_o coninue_v still_o by_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n for_o will_v christ_n here_o provide_v no_o settle_a maintenance_n for_o his_o minister_n who_o be_v sure_a to_o find_v cold_a entertainment_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o apostle_n that_o he_o do_v not_o require_v tithe_n of_o the_o corinthian_n or_o galatian_n nor_o claim_v they_o as_o due_a to_o christ_n minister_n by_o divine_a right_n nor_o other_o apostle_n peter_n john_n james_n or_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v good_a and_o sufficient_a ground_n reason_n

as_o be_v levitical_a and_o ceremonial_a i_o answer_v answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n be_v change_v and_o that_o covenant_n of_o levi_n by_o sacrifice_n and_o
