the_o end_n i_o may_v not_o be_v mistake_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o earthquake_n i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v as_o fix_v either_o person_n or_o time_n for_o howsoever_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o earthquake_n i_o think_v be_v begin_v among_o we_o yet_o for_o the_o instrument_n who_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v use_n of_o to_o carry_v on_o his_o work_n it_o be_v know_v only_o to_o

the_o great_a controver_n sie_n be_v about_o tithe_n awe_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o writing_n pro_n and_o con_n i_o shall_v therefore_o lay_v down_o some_o few_o reason_n why_o i_o think_v they_o will_v not_o long_o stand_v but_o be_v take_v away_o as_o the_o first_o effect_n of_o the_o earthquake_n that_o the_o lord_n intend_v to_o have_v something_o do_v against_o reason_n 1_o reason_n tithe_n i_o have_v cause_n to_o think_v so_o in_o that_o there_o have_v be_v discover_v of_o late_a such_o horrid_a oppression_n and_o cruelty_n in_o tythe-taker_n as_o i_o think_v the_o like_a be_v never_o hear_v of_o in_o any_o former_a generation_n in_o truth_n it_o be_v almost_o incredible_a what_o inhuman_a and_o most_o unchristian_a cruelty_n have_v be_v lote_o exercise_v upon_o many_o poor_a people_n for_o refuse_v of_o conscience_n to_o pay_v tithe_n now_o doubtless_o this_o be_v for_o some_o good_a end_n i_o say_v there_o be_v something_o in_o it_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v just_o now_o bring_v such_o thing_n to_o light_n for_o if_o we_o observe_v his_o way_n of_o old_a such_o wickedness_n as_o he_o bring_v to_o light_v by_o wonderful_a providence_n he_o soon_o after_o punish_v most_o severe_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v by_o the_o godly_a on_o all_o side_n a_o great_a desire_n to_o have_v all_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a minister_n reject_v reason_n 2_o reason_n now_o i_o think_v by_o this_o time_n it_o do_v appear_v to_o every_o one_o that_o

nature_n give_v tithe_n long_o before_o the_o ceremonial-law_n be_v institute_v and_o that_o god_n do_v afterward_o confirm_v the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n by_o the_o ceremonial-law_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n and_o that_o they_o ought_v still_o to_o be_v continue_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o true_a it_o be_v that_o abraham_n answer_n answer_n give_v tithe_n to_o melchisedeck_v of_o the_o spoil_n of_o his_o enemy_n but_o not_o of_o all_o his_o own_o proper_a good_n and_o but_o at_o that_o one_o time_n only_o and_o no_o more_o and_o that_o jacob_n vow_v to_o give_v to_o god_n the_o ten_o of_o all_o that_o he_o shall_v give_v he_o be_v true_a also_o but_o gratia_fw-la non_fw-la ex_fw-la debito_fw-la sed_fw-la ex_fw-la gratia_fw-la neither_o abraham_n nor_o jacob_n have_v a_o command_n from_o god_n so_o to_o do_v so_o that_o it_o be_v in_o they_o a_o free_a offering_n only_o and_o not_o of_o constraint_n again_o if_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n be_v guide_v by_o nature_n without_o any_o command_n from_o god_n give_v tithe_n and_o that_o god_n as_o some_o say_v approve_v the_o same_o afterward_o give_v a_o law_n to_o the_o jew_n command_v they_o thereby_o to_o pay_v tithe_n to_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n and_o after_o abrogate_a that_o law_n then_o it_o be_v very_o clear_a that_o by_o the_o take_n away_o of_o that_o law_n tithe_n be_v utter_o abolish_v and_o take_v away_o and_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o set_v they_o up_o again_o until_o they_o have_v a_o command_n from_o god_n so_o to_o do_v lest_o they_o come_v under_o the_o reproof_n that_o our_o saviour_n give_v to_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n matth._n 15._o 6._o thus_o have_v you_o make_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n of_o none_o effect_v by_o your_o own_o tradition_n and_o i_o desire_v all_o man_n to_o consider_v that_o as_o abraham_n give_v tithe_n to_o melchisedeck_v and_o jacob_n vow_v to_o give_v the_o ten_o of_o his_o good_n to_o god_n long_o before_o the_o levitical_a law_n so_o also_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n offer_v sacrifice_n long_o before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v and_o so_o do_v cain_n and_o abel_n also_o long_o before_o they_o must_v we_o therefore_o now_o according_a to_o their_o example_n offer_v sacrifice_n because_o they_o do_v so_o god_n command_v the_o jew_n only_o to_o pay_v tithe_n in_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n which_o law_n cease_v with_o the_o levitical_a priesthood_n but_o god_n never_o command_v the_o gentile_n to_o pay_v tithe_n in_o any_o place_n therefore_o the_o levitical_a law_n or_o the_o example_n of_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o we_o now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o do_v they_o make_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o for_o payment_n of_o tithe_n now_o but_o rather_o strong_o against_o they_o and_o how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o worship_n or_o service_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v not_o command_v appear_v plain_o in_o the_o example_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n for_o offer_v strange_a fire_n levit._n 10._o 1._o so_o also_o in_o moses_n numb_a 20._o 8_o 9_o
