David on the Mount with God which was said to be the place as these are the people most holy These are those that have ceased from their own works even as God did from his and have nought else now to do but to sing Hymns to God in a good and righteous life towards him and men for evermore here is found and had indeed the restitution of all things spoken of by all the holy Prophets that have been ever since the world began here they neither marry or are bound in heart or life to this or that nor are given in marriage in that sence to any creature Angel man or thing but are as the Angels of God i. e. * For here alone is the Apostles Rule 1 Cor. 7.29 fulfilled whether in wedlock or single life living wholy holily purely and chastly to him that sits upon the Throne as King Law giver in their hearts in one word all that herein is is become most holy pure just and good every thing is becom consecrate even the very bells and bridles of the Horses have writ upon them what was wont only to be on the forehead of the High Priest Holiness to the Lord no man here as in the Apostles times calls or accounts any thing at all his own it being as much and as truly his neighbors as his yea rather it is alone the Lords all that 's there and no man enjoys ought but in the alone right of him yet all according to the most holy Law of God was given by Moses for the true body of Moses is here found in spirit understanding it of the people that beleeve the true body of Jesus in whom the whole Law of Moses hath its end mind and fulfilling 10. Now though I for my part believe that all these late and present shakings as well of things heavenly in their nature and kind as earthly tend to this as their proper rest and center yet I would in this as declare my desire so put to my helping hand to prevent and stave off the first sort of men and people of Gentile heart and conversation that they lay not as they are apt to do their hands on the sacred Signs Types and Figures in use to them of the second sort who answering to the middle part of the Temple are as yet under the Law or letter only of divine things 11. Wherefore in particular as concerning Tythes let it be made or put into a Decree throughout these three Nations now under and in the dispose of this Commonwealth that all the goods heretofore counted separate or sacred that are yet left undisposed or sold be left and reckoned as the right of God that is to say according to their primitive institution under Moses or donation since under several Kings and Princes by both which it will appear as John Wickliff worthy of honorable esteem and memory as in all Lands so especially in this our English Nation proves at large that they are no other then the free alms of the people which they were originally willing to allow as their acknowledgments of Gods right to all they had I say to allow him in those that he hath as is confest throughout the Scripture a more immediate care of that is to say the poor among which the Levite as the steward of God in this behalf is reckoned having no other then the Lord for his portion 12. And let it be added with this clause that he what ever he be called in every Town or Parish whether Parson Rector Vicar Minister Priest Presbyter or Lecturer do not in time to come lay claim to any of these goods in his own name but alone in the Name of God his poor whose right from men by the Authority of the Nation he is but without force to plead and contend for according to the ancient and most holy Law of God 13. And lastly That here and from hence all that are in distress all that are in want the poor lame and blind and all that are necessitous but none that are wilfully or wickedly idle and of evil life may have some proportionable support as out of the Treasury and Store-houses of God in the Land confessed to be such by a decree from the chief Powers in it Vpon this I will be bold to conclude in the same spirit and mend to this Nation as Malachy or the Messenger of God did of old to that of the Jews Bring ye all the Tythes into the Store-house that there may be meat in my house and prove me now herewi●h saith the Lord of Hosts if I will not open you the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field saith the Lord of Hosts And all Nations shall call you blessed for ye shall be a delightsom Land saith the Lord of Hosts FINIS LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert and are to be sold at his Shop at the black spread Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1652.
