A81736	The dreadfull danger of sacriledge held forth in this one proposition, namely the with-holding of tithes from a minister that labours in the word and doctrine, or denying those accustomed rates upon houses, which have been paid to the ministers successively time out of minde, is a great and grievous sin, highly displeasing to Almighty God, as appears by these reasons.		1652 (1652)	Wing D2152; Thomason 669.f.16[69]; Thomason 669.f.21[3]; ESTC R211076	2,584	2

the_o dreadful_a danger_n of_o sacrilege_n hold_v forth_o in_o this_o one_o proposition_n namely_o the_o withhold_n of_o tithe_n from_o a_o minister_n that_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n or_o deny_v those_o accustom_a rate_n upon_o house_n which_o have_v be_v pay_v to_o the_o minister_n successive_o time_n out_o of_o mind_n be_v a_o great_a and_o grievous_a sin_n high_o displease_v to_o almighty_a god_n as_o appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o reas._n because_o it_o be_v a_o direct_a breach_n of_o the_o eight_o commandment_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v

therefore_o to_o deprive_v the_o minister_n of_o they_o be_v a_o breach_n not_o only_o of_o god_n law_n but_o also_o of_o man_n law_n and_o who_o so_o break_v this_o hedge_n a_o serpent_n shall_v

yea_o a_o great_a sin_n to_o withdraw_v his_o maintenance_n 3._o object_n but_o the_o minister_n will_v not_o give_v we_o our_o due_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n therefore_o we_o may_v just_o deny_v he_o his_o due_a answ._n 1._o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o due_a to_o all_o but_o only_o to_o those_o that_o come_v in_o a_o regular_a way_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o
