A91192	A Gospel plea (interwoven with a rational and legal) for the lawfulnes & continuance of the ancient setled maintenance and tenthes of the ministers of the Gospel: proving, that there is a just, competent, comfortable maintenance due to all lawfull painfull preachers and ministers of the Gospel, by divine right, institution, and expresse texts and precepts of the Gospel: that glebes and tithes are such a maintenance, & due to ministers by divine right, law and Gospel: that if subtracted or detained, they may lawfully be inforced by coercive laws and penalties: that tithes are no reall burden nor grievance to the people; the abolishing them, no ease or benefit to farmers, husband-men, or poor people, but a prejudice and losse. That the present opposition against tithes, proceeds not from any reall grounds of conscience, but base covetousnesse, carnall policy, &c. and a Jesuiticall and Anabaptisticall designe, to subvert and ruin our ministers, Church, religion. With a satisfactory answer to all cavils and materiall objections to the contrary. By William Prynne of Swainswick, Esq;	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1653 (1653)	Wing P3971; Thomason E713_12; ESTC R203238; ESTC R26600	128,273	175

DIVINE RIGHT they ow wages to the Ministers of the Gospel And if so then 5. It follows inevitably that there being no other setled way of maintenance particularly prescribed for them in the Gospel and convenient Houses Glebes for them their families and necessary Cattle and Tithes of the increase of the fruits of the earth and Cattle of all sorts being as necessary and requisite for the habitation food clothing support of them their Ministry families and supply all their necessaries with as little charge or trouble as may be as for the Priests and Levites under the Law that Godly Christians cannot pitch upon any equaller fitter juster better wiser rational or convenient way of maintenance for them than that of necessary Houses Rectories Glebes in every Parish and Tithes of all things needfull for food and raiment it being the constant standing setled maintenance which the most wise just and holy God invented prescribed for his own Priests and Levites maintenance amongst his own people when setled by him in the land of Promise and that which all setled Christians Empires Kingdoms States Churches generally through the Christian world have pitched upon as most agreeable to Gods will and word under the Gospel which no wayes repeals nor contradicts his own former prescriptions of this kinde 6. That the Glebes and Tithes of the Priests and Levites under the Law were reserved by God himself the Supream Land-lord of all kingdomes Countries Nations Churches People in the world and the special God Lord King Father Saviour and Preserver of his own people as a Sacred Holy Tribute Rent Portion and Homage due unto Himself from poor Creatures Servants Vassals who are no true Proprietors but onely Stewards and Tenants at will of all the Lands Goods earthly blessings and possessions they enjoy The earth being the Lords and the fulnesse thereof and the Corn Wine Cattle fruits and earthly creatures we possesse not really ours but Gods own 1 Chr. 29. 11. to 17. Psal 24. 1. Psal 97. 5. Psal 50. 9 10 11 12. E●ech 16. 18 19 20. Hos 2. 8 9. Dan. 4. 32 35. Mat. 6. 10. 11. The use and possession of which tribute He allotted to the Priests and Levites under the Law for their maintenance salary and reward of their labour in his service for the advancement of his worship glory honour and his peoples spiritual good reserving the inheritance and right thereof alwayes to himself as the premises sufficiently evidence Now God himself to whom alone Tithes and Glebes were originally impropriated not to the Levitical Priest-hood being unchangeable without any variableness or shadow of turning Jam. 1. 17. Psal 102. 26 27. Mal. 3. 6. and Jesus Christ to whom Tithes were first paid by Abraham in the person of Melchisedeck having an unchangeable Priest-hood and being a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedeck Heb. 7. And all Christians whatsoever under the Gospel being as much his absolute Creatures Vassals Servants Stewards and Tenants as well as the Israelites under the Law and all their Lands Goods Earthly blessings Corn Wine Cattle and imployments his in right and not their own as well as theirs too why they should not all render to him the self same sacred Tribute holy Portion Rent Homage of Glebes and Tithes of all they have as well as they though the Levitical Priest-hood be abolished they being so specially reserved and consecrated to himself for the support maintenance reward encouragement of his faithfull Ministers under the Gospel imployed in his Service for his honour glory and their everlasting salvation Let John Canne and all presumptuous peremptory tith-oppugners answer me yea this their Soveraign Land-lord and Creator if they can who will one day call them to a strictaccompt for detaining this due Rent Tribute Homage from him and may justly dispossesse and strip them naked of all they have for this their ingrate contemptuous carriage towards him as he hath done many of late by fearfull fires and other judgments as well as heretofore Mal. 3. 8 9 11. 7. That as the Gospel it self succeeded the Levitical Law and Baptisme and the Lords Supper Circumcision and the Passeover So the Apostles and Ministers of the Gospel succeed the Priests and Levites under the Law in their Ministerial function in the Church of Christ by Gods appointment their Ministry and Office being both the same in substance even to worship praise and honour God according to his revealed word and will and instruct exhort direct and guide his people in the way of salvation though differing in some circumstances of lesser moment abolished by Christs death It is therefore most reasonable just equitable convenient they should receive and enjoy the like setled maintenance by Glebes and Tithes as their predecessors did God hav●ng prescribed none other kinde of reward or subsistence for them in the Gospel that any can shew me It is usuall in all Kingdomes States Nations where there are any publike setled offices and Officers for any persons who succeed others in those Offices to enjoy the self same Salaries Houses Lands Fees and Revenues as their Predecessors lawfully received unlesse there be some special Laws to alter their Stipends This we see verified in all Civil Military and Ecclesiastical Officers yea in the times of greatest publike charges that ever befell the Nation those whom most yet call Judges Sheriffs Majors Generals Colonels Captains and Governours of Forts c. though their Commissions be altered in some things and themselves in more do yet receive the self same Salary pay and maintenance annexed to their Offices as their lawfull predecessors did yea to come closer home All our Protestant Ministers since the reformation of Religion have generally enjoyed the Gl●bes and Tithes as the Parishioners enjoy and frequent the Churches as their popish predecessors did before them though the one of them just like the Levitical abolished Priests made it their chiefest businesse and part of their calling to say Masse and offer an unbloudy Sacrifice as they falsely termed it on their Altars both for the quick and dead and the other who succeed th●m make it their principall work to preach the Gospel and administer the Sacraments according to Christs institution Since then the Ministers of the Gospel succeed the Levitical as well as the popish Priests as the Gospel doth the Law and the Christian Sacraments the Jewish and we with all converted Gentiles engraffed into Jesus Christ and the Church of God succeed the Jews who were broken off from their own Olive Tree that we might be engraffed in their places who now partake of the root and fatnesse of their Olive Tree as the Apostle resolves Rom. 11. 16. to 25. Why the Ministers of the Gospel should not likewise succeed the Leviticall Priests as well as the popish in the enjoyment of their setled maintenance by Glebes Tithes being not meerly ceremonial as I have proved and all believing Gentiles who succeed the believing Israelites in Gods Church succeed

white already to harvest And HE THAT REAPETH RECEIVETH WAGES and gathereth fruit unto eternall life c. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour c. Which may be aptly paralleld with and interpreted by Matth. 9. 37 38. Then said he our Savour unto his Disciples The harvest truely is plenteous but the LABORERS are few pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that he would send forth LABORERS INTO his harvest Which when he did he agreed with them all for a certain stipend by the day and when the evening was come he sa●d unto his Steward Call the LABORERS and GIVE THEM THEIR HIRE beginning from the last unto the first Mat. 20. 1 to 15. as is there parabolically expressed From which Texts and words of our Lord and Saviour Christ himself it is most apparent 1. That the Apostles Preachers and Ministers of the Gospell are and ought to be diligent painfull Labourers in Christs spirituall harvest not idle loiterers 2. That they were not obliged but expresly prohibited to provide gold silver brasse scrips shoes clothes bread meat drink lodging and other necessaries at their own free cost when they were commissioned and sent forth to preach the Gospell as some now would enforce them to for this very reason That being Labourers in the Lords own harvest for the eternall salvation of mens soules they were worthy to receive them as hire and wages from those to whom they preached 3. That our Saviour Christ himselfe at the very originall institution and first mission of his 12. Apostles and after of the 70. Disciples to preach the Gospell thrice one after another expresly resolves in positive termes That they are worthy of their meat hire wages for their Labour in the Gospell and so by consequence all other lawfull Labouring Ministers that diligently preach the Gospell are worthy of the like at this day and neither of them obliged to preach the Gospell freely without any recompence as some Seducers now pretend 4. That meat drink clothes lodging and a competent maintenance are as truely and justly due to the true Labouring Ministers of the Gospell from the people and that of pure common naturall yea Gospell right and justice not as meer arbitrary Charity or Benevolence but as merited HIRE and WAGES as much as any deserved hire or wages are due to any other hired servant or labourer whatsoever by common justice and the law of God Gen. 29. 15. Exod. 2. 9. Levit. 19. 13. Deut. 24. 14 15. Mat. 20. 1 to 16. Joh. 4. 36. Or as well as pay or wages are justly due to the best deserving Officers and Souldiers Luke 3. 14. Ezek. 28. 18 19. and that by Christs own trebled resolution recorded by the Evangelists for the greater evidence and conviction who emphatically by way of reason applies these words only to his Apostles and Ministers For the Labourer is worthy of his meat hire wages they being the most divine excellent usefull necessary Labourers of all others and that in matters of highest concernment in relation both to God and Men Therefore of all other labourers they are most worthy of a honourable comfortable certain hire salary reward for their support and encouragement 5. Hence it followes by necessary consequence and let those who are guilty consider it seriously in the fear of God with trembling and astonishment that the opposing oppressing defrauding the Ministers of the Gospell in their deserved setled hire wages or the detaining all or any part of their ancient just established Dues Tithes or Revenues from them especially out of covetousnesse spite obstinacy or malice against their very callings is as great as crying as damnable a sinne oppression unrighteousnesse and will bring down as gri●vous curses plagues judgements on all those who are culpable thereof as the defrauding oppression of the hired servant or labourer of or in his hire or detaining their wages from them when due as will undenyably appear by Deut. 24. 14 15. Levit. 19. 13. Gen. 31. 7. Mal. 3. 5. Jam. 4. 1 to 5. compared with Mal. 3. 8 9 10 11. Nehem. 13. 10. 11. and a sin against all these Scriptures which all detainers of Ministers Dues and Tithes may do well to read and ponder IV. The truth of this Proposition is ratifyed by the Apostle Pauls resolution who thus prosecutes our Saviours forecited words and seconds his argument in 1 Tim. 5. 17 18. Let the Elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour especially THOSE THAT LABOUR IN THE WORD AND DOCTRINE For the Scripture saith Deut. 25. 4. Thou shalt not muzzle the Oxe that treadeth out the Corn. And THE LABOURER IS WORTHY OF HIS HIRE relating to Mat. 10. 10. and Luke 10 7. forecited In which words the Holy Ghost by the Apostle positively asserts 1. That the Elders and Ministers that rule well especially such of them who labour in the Word and Gospell are really worthy of double honour from the people which double honour Interpreters generally resolve to be 1. Due reverence love and countenance 2. A competent liberall maintenance and reward Or as some conceive a double salary and allowance to what others receive as a just honourable reward for their labour which is here intended by the words double honour extending as well to an honourable salary and reward as to due reverence and respect as is clear by the two Texts herein cited to prove it by the 3 16. verses of this very Chapter and Rom. 13. 1 6 7. 1 Pet. 2. 17. Prov. 3. 9. compared together 2. That the people ought to count them worthy of this double honour and to render it unto them 3. He ratifyes and proves this not only by his own Apostolicall authority but likewise by two oth●r Texts of Scripture the one taken out of the old Testament Deut. 25. 4. which proves that the Texts and Precepts for the just dues and maintenance of the Priests in the old Testament are still in force and not abrogated so far as they are morall and judiciall and therefore may be still aptly urged for proof of our Ministers due maintenance under the Gospell The other out of the new Testament Mat. 10. 10. Luke 10. 7. From both which the force of the Apostles argument stands thus The Elders who labour in the Word and Gospell have as just as naturall as morall legall equitable a right and meritorious due to a liberall maintenance salary reward or double honour as he styles it as the Ox that treadeth out the Corne hath to eat of the Corne and straw he treads out or as any other hired labourer whatsoever hath to his hire they being the best and eminentest of all other labourers with the especiall application of Deut. 25. 4. and of this very sentence here again to them The labourer is worthy of his hire imports Therefore for any people witting●y or wilfully to detain or defraud them thereof is as great an injustice cru●lty sin and unrighteousnesse

Acts 21. 20. to 28. which he being a Jew was obliged even then to observe to avoid scandall but not to the Gentiles Therefore Tithes amongst the Jews were then still paid to their Leviticall Priests and not to the Apostles 4. Though Christ whiles on earth received no Tithes from the Jews yet he had a just Right and Title to Tithes from Abraham and all his Posterity and the Leviticall Priests themselves especially after their abolition as he was a Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedech to whom Abraham himself and the Levites then in his loins paid Tithes of all Heb. 7. 1. to 15. of which at large before Therefore he had a just Right to receive Tithes from them both before and after the Leviticall priesthood was abolished which he might have both lawfully claimed and exercised and his Apostles likewise in his Right though they did it not We read that Christ had a just Right and Title by Inheritance and lineall descent from his Father King David to the Temporall Crown and Kingdome of Judah and is therefore said by the Wisemen Matth. 2. 2. TO BE BORN KING OF THE JEWS an unanswerable Argument for the lawfulnesse and Excellency of Hereditary Titles to Crowns and Kingdomes before that of Election onely wherewith I frequently silenced vapouring Souldiers against Hereditary Kingship being the very Title of Christ himself both to his Spirituall and Temporall Kingdome and that which God instituted amongst his Church and people as the best the surest of all other taken up by most Heathen Nations Now though Christ neither claimed nor exercised this his Temporall Right but avoided it when the people would have made him King by force John 6. 15. who yet after cryed him for the King of Israel John 12. 13 15. which even Pilate himself acknowledged when he said unto the Jews BEHOLD YOUR KING demanded of them SHALL I CRUCIFIE YOUR KING and wrote and fixed this Title on his Crosse JESUS OF NAZARETH KING OF THE JEWS John 19 14 15 19. will or can John Canne or any other of his confederates h●nce justly inf●rre that it was unlawfull for Christ himself Right Heir by Descent to his Hereditary Temporall Kingdome kept and thrust out thereof by usurping Herod who murdered all the Infants in Bethlehem and the Coasts thereof that were two years old and under and should haue murdered our Saviour himself to secure his own usurped Power Mat. 2. 13 16. Such is the bloudy cruelty and Jealousie of Usurpers to have claimed or exercised this his just Hereditary Right to the Crown or unlawfull for the people to have thrust out this bloudy Intruder Herod by force from his usurped Authority and made Christ King as they intended or because Christ did then voluntarily forbear and relinquish his Right to Herod that it is therefore unlawfull for any other Hereditary Christian King or Right Heir to a Crown kept from or thrust out of his Throne and Kingdome by armed violence against the generality of his peoples desires by any aspiring usurping Herod to lay claim to his Crown or Kingdome or for the faithfull naturall born Subjects according to their duty Oathes and Allegiance to endevour by all lawfull means and open force to exp●ll dethrone such Herods and crown and set their lawfull Soveraign on the Throne of the Kingdome Doubtlesse they cannot be so absurdly stupid as affirm it seeing Jeboiadah the high Priest the Captains of Hundreds Levites Souldiers and people too thrust out Ath●liah the bloudy Usurper of the Kingdome and Throne of Judah in the seventh year of her Usurpation and crowned Joash THE KINGS SON as the Lord had said OF THE SONS OF DAVID and set him KING VPON THE THRONE OF THE KINGDOME whereupon ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE LAND REJOYCED AND THE CITY WAS QUIET as is recorded at large to their eternall Honour by God himself and for others imitation in the like case 2 Chron. 23. and 2 Kings 11. and seeing all may justly lay claim to and repossesse themselves of such Lands Houses Goods as others forcibly detain or take from them against all Law Right notwithstanding Christs Non-claim to his Rightfull Crown then by the self same Reason our Ministers of the Gospel now may lawfully take and challenge Tithes from the people though Christ and his Apostles did not albeit they had a just Right and Title to them which they might have exercised had they pleased without Sin or Judaisme as our Ministers do now To clear which Right from Judaisme and all other Cevills beyond all contradiction I shall cite onely two Proph●●ies relating joyntly to Christs Kingdome and Ministers u●der the Gospel The first is Jer. 33. 15. to the end In those dayes and at that time will I cause the Branch of Righteousnesse to grow up unto David and he shall execute Righteousnesse and Judgement in the Land In those dayes shall Judah be saved and Jerusalem shall dwell safely and this is the name wherewith he shall be called the Lord our Righteousnesse For thus saith the Lord David shall never want a man to sit upon the Throne of the House of Israel Neither the Priests the Levites want a man before me to offer Burnt-Offerings and to kindle Meat-Offerings and to do Sacrifices continually Thus saith the Lord if you can break my Coven●nt of the day and my Covenant of the night so that there should not be day and night in their season then may also my Covenant be broken with David my Servant that he should not have a Son to reign upon his Throne AND WITH THE LEVITES THE PRIESTS MY MINISTERS As the Host of heaven cannot be numbred neither the sand of the Sea measured so will I multiply the Seed of David my Servant AND THE LEVITES THAT MINISTER UNTO ME c. The 2d is Isa 66. 18. to 22 I will gather all nations and tongues and they shall come and see my Glory and I will set a Signe among them and I will send those that escape of them unto the Nations and to Tarshish c. and TO THE ISLES AFAR OFF whereof England is chief and principally intended And they shall bring all your Brethren for an Offering unto the Lord out of all Nations upon Horses and in Chariots and in Litters and upon Mules and upon swift Be●sts TO MY HOLY MOVNTAIN IN JERVSALEM saith the Lord as the Children of Israel bring on Offering in a clean Vessell VNTO THE HOVSE OF THE LORD And I WILL ALSO TAKE OF THEM FOR PRIESTS and FOR LEVITES saith the Lord. From which Texts I shall observe 1. That as Christs Title to his everlasting Spirituall Kingdome under the Gospel over all the converted Gentiles as well as Jews is expressely set forth to be neither elective nor by conquest but by DESCENT HEIRSHIP and lineall Succession from King David and all the regenerated Sons of God by their Right of Son-ship and new-birth even in like sort intituled to the Kingdome of

Baptisme which made neither of them void in Substance no more than their annexing of the Apocrypha to the Canonicall Scriptures made them uncanonicall These afterwards ordained other Bishops and Ministers without any Popish Rites in such manner as the Gospel prescribes which Mr. Mason and Yates prove against the Papists to be a lawfull Ordination though not made by the Popes Authority or according to former Popish Ceremonies In this Sense onely they write the bare Succession not the Office and Calling of our Ministers as this woodden Canne mistakes was derived from the Church of Rome but their Ministry it sel● from Christs own Institution And if this makes them Popish and Antichristian then all our Protestant Kings Parliaments Magistrates Judges Officers of all sorts must be Popish too If not Paganish because their Predecessors were such and all Officers Souldiers of the Army and Anabaptisticall Saints too who have purchased any Lands or Revenues of Abbies Priories Archbishops Bishops Deans Chapters must likewise be both Antichristian and Popish because their Predecessors who first enjoyed and from whom they do derive them were such I hope therefore they will all now renounce these their Purchases to avoid the Guilt and high Scandall of Popery and Antichristianisme or disclaim this Second Loud-lying Voice against our Ministers and their Ministry as a Voice onely from a prophane empty Canne and not from a Sacred Temple But to return from the Lawfullnesse of our Ministers Calling and to their Tithes We have Secondly in this Text a Gospel Ordin●nce for their very Tithes confirmed by the old Lev●ticall Law and grounded on its Equity But how doth this appear By these emphaticall words EVEN SO HATH THE LORD ORDAINED in the Preterperfect Tense That they which Preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel but where hath the Lord ordained this The Apostle thrice resolves expressely that he hath done it in the Leviticall Law ● 9. For it is written in the Laws of Moses Deut. 25. 4. Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the Ox that treadeth out the Corn doth God take care for Oxen Or saith ●e it TOGETHER FOR OVR SAKES FOR OVR SAKES NO DOVBT THIS IS WRITTEN that he that ploweth should plow in hope and he that thresheth in hope SHOVLD BE PARTAKER OF HIS HOPE which he again recites 1 Tim. 5 18. It this Precept concerning the meat and maintenance of Oxen onely in the Letter though part of the Levitical Law was doubtlesse written for and really intended of the Ministers of the Gospels food and Maintenance and in full force under the Gospel as the Apostle resolves then à fortiori the Precepts of the Law concerning the food and Livelyhood of Gods Priests and Levites under the Law by Gl●bes and Tithes not purely Ceremoniall as I have already proved must doubtlesse be intended of them and be in full force likewise in their naturall equitable Sence and Proportion in relation to their Livelyhood for preaching of the Gospel there being a greater Analogy and Proportion between them and Preachers of the Gospel than betwixt them and Oxen And to put it out of doubt he subjoyns Do not ye know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the Temple and they which wait at the Altar are partakers with the Altar To wit by Go●s expresse Ordinance in the Leviticall Law which ye know and therefore I need not particularly cite the words as I did the other of not neglecting the Ox c. which was more obscure and needed my former Paraphrase on them but thus mind you of in the Generall and then he inferres and subjoyns Even so hath the Lord ordained to wit by the very naturall moral Equity of the Lawes and Ordinances he made for the Priests and Levites Maintenance by Tithes and Glebes and Free-will-offerings for officiating in the Temple and at the Altar under the Law that the Preachers of the Gospel who now succeed and supply their places though in different Services in the Churches of Christ under the Gospel should live of the Gospel even so fully comfortably and in such sort as they did under the Law And to make this out more fully and clear it from the Censure of Judaisme take notice of these four particulars 1. That in the Holy Ghosts and Gospel phrase and Language there is a Temple among and for Christians under the Gospel as well as among for the Jews under the Law else Cannes Voice from the Temple if there be no such place must be thus amended in his next Edition A Voice from the Canne or Alehouse and that this Temple is nothing else but the Church and Saints of Christ 2 Cor. 6. 16. 1 Cor. 3 16 17. chap. 6. 19. Ephes 2. 21. 2 Thess 2. 4. Rev. 3. 12. chap 7. 15. chap. 11. 1 2 19. chap. 14 15. chap 15. 5 6 8. chap. 16. 1 17. 2 That Christians under the Gospel have likewise an Altar as well as the Jews though different from theirs Heb. 13. 10. We have an Altar whereof they have no right to eat which serve the Tabernacle mentioned oft Rev. 6. 9. chap. 8. 3 5. chap. 9. 13. ch 14. 18. often coupled with the Templ● Rev. 11. 1. Rise measure THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND THE ALTAR 3. We have Sacrifices to be offered on the Altar as well as the Jews in theirs 1. The Sacrifice of Prayer Rev. 8. 3 4 5. 2. The Sacrifice of Praise Heb. 13 15. 3. The Sacrifice of Charity alms and good works Heb. 13. 16. 4. Our own bodies which we must present as a living Sacrifice holy acceptable unto God by serving him according to his word as rationall men not beasts that were both slain and sacrificed under the Law Rom. 12. 1. 4. We have Priests likewise to offer up these Spirituall Sacrifices 1 Pet. 2 9. Rev. 1. 6. chap. 5. 10. chap. 20. 6. And these are three 1. Every sanctified Christian who must offer up the Sacrifices of Prayer Praise alms and his own body to God in his private Closet and Family 2. The Ministers of the Gospel who must continually offer up these Sacrifices in the peoples behalf in publick here on earth now the T●mple for which we are to render them not onely Tithes and Glebes but a Freewil offering of bounty and charity besides a sacrifice acceptable and well pleasing to God Phil. 4. 16. 3. Christ Jesus himself our altar and High Priest too now in heaven Heb. 13. 15. cap. 2. 17. c. 4. 14 15. c. 5. 10. c. 6. 20. c. 7. 17 20 21 22 27 28. c. 8. 1. c. 10. 21. And if Christians have even under the Gospel a Temple an Altar and spiritual Sacrifices to offer them to God in publike as well as the Jews Why the Priests who minister about holy things in this Evangelical Temple wait continually at this spirituall Altar and offer these spirituall sacrifices publikely unto God thereon and preach the Gospel likewise as the Jewish Priests and
