yet_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o abraham_n when_o melchizedeck_v meet_v he_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o ten_o or_o tithe_n proper_o belong_v to_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o antitype_n of_o melchizedeck_v but_o now_o to_o prove_v that_o tyth_n be_v typical_a and_o that_o such_o as_o receive_v they_o or_o such_o as_o pay_v they_o deny_v christ_n nail_v to_o the_o cross_n see_v these_o two_o argument_n brief_o in_o the_o room_n of_o more_o that_o may_v be_v give_v first_o arg._n 1_o if_o tithe_n be_v part_n of_o the_o levitical_a law_n to_o be_v a_o maintenance_n of_o the_o

the_o word_n of_o the_o
apostle_n which_o say_v for_o the_o priesthood_n be_v change_v there_o be_v also_o a_o necessity_n of_o the_o change_n of_o the_o law_n from_o whence_o we_o see_v that_o both_o law_n and_o priesthood_n be_v do_v away_o by_o christ_n so_o those_o that_o do_v uphold_v it_o by_o pay_v or_o receive_v of_o tithe_n deny_v christ_n crucify_v and_o misery_n will_v be_v their_o portion_n second_o arg._n 2_o if_o tithe_n or_o a_o ten_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o convert_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n to_o christ_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n than_o those_o that_o pay_v tithe_n and_o such_o as_o receive_v tithe_n deny_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n but_o tithe_n or_o the_o ten_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o convert_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abrahnm_n which_o be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o christ_n by_o his_o death_n and_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n ergo_fw-la they_o that_o pay_v or_o receive_v tithe_n deny_v christ_n crucified_a and_o the_o work_n of_o his_o spirit_n that_o which_o will_v be_v question_v be_v the_o minor_a how_o i_o can_v prove_v that_o tithe_n or_o a_o ten_o be_v a_o type_n of_o a_o ten_o that_o be_v to_o be_v convert_v from_o among_o the_o jew_n as_o a_o first_o fruit_n to_o god_n and_o the_o lamb_n and_o that_o the_o convert_v of_o israel_n be_v the_o anti-type_n of_o tithe_n 13._o esa_n 6.8_o 9_o 10_o 11_o 12_o 13._o and_o that_o they_o be_v call_v a_o ten_o see_v the_o prophet_n esaiah_n will_v

thereof_o from_o these_o word_n we_o may_v see_v that_o although_o god_n do_v intend_v to_o harden_v israel_n and_o cast_v they_o off_o for_o their_o sin_n yet_o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o small_a

the_o 51_o psalm_n will_v clear_v the_o matter_n more_o to_o you_o and_o by_o what_o be_v say_v there_o and_o here_o it_o stand_v undeniable_o true_a and_o what_o you_o have_v say_v have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o good_a colour_n of_o a_o answer_n again_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o examination_n of_o what_o you_o say_v to_o my_o allege_a argument_n pass_v your_o other_o discourse_n that_o of_o ezekiel_n which_o say_v the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v i_o have_v make_v a_o difference_n between_o adam_n sin_n and_o we_o as_o well_o as_o the_o punishment_n that_o be_v adam_n sin_n as_o he_o be_v natural_a and_o not_o spiritual_a so_o his_o sin_n bring_v death_n upon_o the_o natural_a part_n but_o the_o son_n be_v not_o disable_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o his_o father_n sin_n but_o the_o soul_n that_o sin_v shall_v die_v but_o the_o argument_n that_o i_o do_v urge_v be_v this_o that_o no_o defile_a creature_n be_v fit_a or_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o child_n in_o their_o nonage_n be_v fit_a for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n therefore_o child_n not_o defile_v to_o which_o you_o answer_v thus_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n say_v you_o be_v take_v two_o way_n first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v take_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n as_o mark._n 9.1_o and_o math._n 11.12_o there_o be_v some_o that_o stand_v here_o that_o shall_v not_o taste_v death_n till_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v in_o power_n till_o christen_v church_n gather_v ordinance_n administer_v and_o child_n of_o believe_a parent_n belong_v to_o this_o kingdom_n though_o such_o as_o you_o bar_v they_o from_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v and_o say_v in_o what_o you_o affirm_v there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n main_o to_o be_v consider_v the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n mention_v mark_n 9.1_o in_o these_o word_n there_o be_v some_o that_o stand_v here_o that_o shall_v not_o

child_n be_v fit_a for_o that_o kingdom_n as_o you_o say_v but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o we_o may_v believe_v you_o or_o not_o but_o upon_o examination_n i_o shall_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v a_o false_a doctrine_n and_o first_o to_o the_o first_o that_o the_o kingdom_n come_v in_o power_n be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o gospel_n church_n or_o ordinance_n but_o of_o the_o power_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o church_n triumphant_a agree_v with_o or_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o word_n of_o matthew_n 16.22_o mat._n 16.22_o the_o which_o be_v thus_o read_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o

church_n or_o ordinance_n which_o be_v call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v in_o power_n or_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v in_o his_o kingdom_n be_v evident_a because_o it_o be_v not_o where_o so_o call_v second_o if_o he_o have_v mean_v the_o gospel_n church_n or_o ordinance_n he_o need_v not_o have_v say_v some_o of_o they_o that_o stand_v here_o shall_v not_o taste_v of_o death_n till_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v in_o power_n or_o more_o proper_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v in_o his_o kingdom_n because_o none_o of_o they_o that_o stand_v there_o do_v taste_v of_o death_n till_o they_o see_v the_o gospel_n church_n and_o ordinance_n unless_o judas_n iscariot_n but_o i_o shall_v show_v most_o evident_o that_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o gospel_n church_n and_o

also_o to_o save_v they_o that_o walk_v upright_o to_o show_v also_o what_o line_n god_n decree_n run_v in_o both_o as_o touch_v election_n and_o reprobation_n god_n have_v decree_v unchangeable_o to_o save_v all_o that_o be_v in_o his_o son_n namely_o such_o as_o walk_v before_o he_o in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n and_o he_o have_v also_o unchangeable_o decree_v to_o render_v

multiply_v word_n to_o prove_v this_o because_o i_o think_v none_o will_v deny_v it_o and_o this_o be_v god_n decree_n that_o of_o old_a he_o do_v ordain_v godly_a man_n to_o salvation_n and_o

and_o if_o they_o turn_v from_o righteousness_n to_o live_v in_o sinful_a course_n than_o the_o decree_n of_o condemnation_n reach_v or_o comprehend_v they_o so_o that_o god_n change_v not_o but_o

neither_o be_v there_o any_o doubt_n of_o their_o election_n and_o yet_o you_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v not_o willing_a that_o any_o shall_v perish_v but_o

night-wanderer_n among_o the_o nation_n in_o these_o word_n we_o may_v learn_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o the_o prophet_n zeal_n for_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o pray_v to_o the_o

not_o hearken_v unto_o the_o lord_n but_o be_v revolter_n from_o he_o now_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_n whether_o you_o understand_v what_o you_o print_v for_o do_v this_o text_n imply_v that_o israel_n shall_v never_o return_v because_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o he_o will_v love_v they_o no_o more_o but_o admit_v the_o prophet_n speak_v as_o in_o the_o person_n as_o we_o may_v say_v of_o

the_o property_n of_o his_o mercy_n do_v you_o not_o know_v what_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n mercy_n do_v you_o never_o read_v what_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o israel_n

he_o do_v deliver_v they_o although_o he_o have_v say_v he_o will_v deliver_v they_o no_o more_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 32._o and_o 33._o verse_n of_o the_o 12._o chapter_n and_o thus_o for_o want_v of_o knowledge_n not_o ignorance_n in_o the_o scripture_n you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o eye_n of_o your_o understanding_n be_v darken_v so_o as_o you_o can_v see_v as_o it_o be_v at_o

his_o branch_n shall_v spread_v and_o his_o beauty_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o olive_n tree_n and_o his_o smell_n as_o lebanon_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o very_a same_o prophet_n do_v prophecy_n of_o god_n love_n to_o israel_n and_o their_o prosperous_a estate_n after_o their_o return_n although_o you_o say_v he_o will_v love_v they_o no_o more_o but_o whether_o we_o may_v believe_v you_o or_o the_o prophet_n i_o leave_v the_o reader_n to_o judge_v because_o your_o speech_n be_v opposite_a one_o to_o another_o and_o so_o pass_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o far_o from_o retain_v wrath_n and_o hate_v israel_n for_o ever_o that_o he_o love_v they_o with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n viz._n that_o people_n that_o
