of_o abraham_n this_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n meet_v abraham_n as_o he_o return_v from_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o king_n and_o bless_v he_o and_o how_o he_o bless_v he_o how_o he_o bless_a abraham_n it_o be_v set_v down_o at_o large_a in_o gen._n 19_o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o he_o come_v and_o meet_v he_o in_o a_o princely_a manner_n bring_v abraham_n bread_n and_o wine_n to_o refresh_v he_o and_o his_o man_n of_o their_o hard_a warfare_n &_o labour_n and_o bless_v he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n there_o be_v a_o mystery_n contain_v in_o this_o melchisedeck_v blessing_n of_o abraham_n which_o at_o present_a we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o reason_n why_o melchisedeck_v meet_v abraham_n and_o bless_v he_o after_o lie_n have_v return_v from_o the_o slaughter_n of_o the_o king_n there_o be_v several_a reason_n which_o may_v be_v profitable_a for_o we_o to_o consider_v 1._o that_o melchisedeck_v be_v neighbour_n unto_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v king_n in_o salem_n which_o border_v upon_o the_o canaanite_n where_o abraham_n dwell_v and_o go_v forth_o out_o of_o that_o country_n to_o war_n with_o the_o king_n and_o melchisedeck_v as_o a_o neighbour_n meet_v he_o to_o congratulate_v good_a abraham_n in_o his_o success_n for_o indeed_o christian_a nation_n be_v to_o rejoice_v when_o a_o common_a enemy_n be_v cast_v down_o but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o 2._o melchisedeck_v and_o abraham_n be_v man_n of_o the_o same_o religion_n they_o both_o worship_v the_o same_o god_n though_o the_o country_n round_o about_o they_o be_v heathen_n yet_o abraham_n be_v the_o servant_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o melchisedeck_v be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o always_o good_a man_n of_o the_o same_o religion_n rejoice_v at_o the_o good_a success_n of_o each_o other_o melchisedeck_v be_v not_o a_o man_n of_o a_o envious_a spirit_n at_o abraham_n good_a success_n in_o his_o undertake_n but_o he_o can_v rejoice_v with_o he_o he_o do_v rejoice_v as_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o in_o rom._n 12._o v._n 15._o with_o they_o that_o do_v rejoice_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a and_o difficult_a thing_n to_o a_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o rejoice_v at_o the_o good_a success_n of_o our_o neighbour_n or_o brethren_n the_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o lust_n to_o envy_n if_o man_n have_v any_o great_a good_a success_n man_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n they_o be_v afraid_a they_o shall_v outshine_v they_o and_o go_v beyond_o they_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o bad_a spirit_n among_o man_n which_o can_v rejoice_v at_o other_o good_a at_o the_o success_n of_o other_o man_n if_o they_o have_v it_o not_o themselves_o but_o melchisedeck_v be_v a_o gracious_a man_n and_o a_o servant_n of_o god_n he_o do_v not_o envy_v abraham_n good_a success_n he_o do_v not_o fear_v abraham_n greatness_n but_o he_o go_v out_o and_o meet_v he_o and_o blessed_v he_o 3._o the_o three_o and_o most_o special_a reason_n why_o melchisedeck_v go_v out_o to_o bless_v abraham_n be_v because_o that_o melchisedeck_v be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o abraham_n be_v a_o believer_n a_o great_a believer_n in_o the_o true_a god_n abraham_n be_v the_o man_n with_o who_o god_n have_v make_v a_o covenant_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o seven_o ver_fw-la of_o this_o chap._n it_o be_v say_v that_o melchisedeck_v bless_v he_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n how_o have_v abraham_n receive_v the_o promise_n why_o god_n single_v he_o out_o of_o his_o father_n country_n and_o bring_v he_o into_o a_o strange_a place_n and_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o he_o and_o give_v he_o a_o promise_n of_o a_o seed_n in_o which_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v now_o that_o abraham_n faith_n may_v be_v firm_a in_o believe_v god_n promise_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 6_o of_o the_o heb._n 13._o for_o when_o god_n make_v promise_n to_o abraham_n because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o no_o great_a he_o swear_v

by_o himself_o now_o we_o may_v conceive_v melchisedeck_v know_v all_o this_o and_o he_o go_v forth_o to_o meet_v he_o and_o bless_v he_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n for_o he_o know_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o abraham_n be_v the_o father_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o that_o in_o his_o seed_n all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v and_o therefore_o he_o go_v out_o to_o bless_v he_o now_o this_o be_v useful_a to_o we_o to_o all_o the_o faithful_a for_o their_o comfort_n that_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n that_o they_o be_v under_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n who_o be_v a_o type_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v bless_v melchisedeck_v he_o do_v but_o act_v the_o part_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o blessing_n of_o a_o believer_n for_o they_o be_v bless_v by_o christ_n and_o bless_v with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n jesus_n therefore_o in_o the_o 24._o of_o luke_n you_o read_v that_o when_o christ_n be_v ready_a to_o ascend_v to_o heaven_n in_o the_o 50._o ver_fw-la he_o lead_v they_o as_o far_o as_o bethany_n and_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o they_o and_o bless_v they_o here_o you_o have_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v typify_v by_o this_o melchisedeck_v he_o be_v blessing_n his_o own_o disciple_n before_o his_o ascension_n and_o after_o his_o ascension_n he_o send_v down_o his_o blessing_n which_o you_o read_v of_o in_o the_o 4._o of_o the_o ephesian_n he_o give_v gift_n unto_o man_n and_o all_o for_o the_o perfect_a and_o edify_v of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n now_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n both_o in_o the_o type_n and_o in_o the_o anti-type_n be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o all_o believer_n against_o the_o curse_n of_o profane_a man_n for_o these_o who_o our_o great_a melchisedeck_v bless_v shall_v never_o receive_v a_o curse_n it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o world_n to_o curse_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o to_o imprecate_v all_o evil_n upon_o they_o and_o no_o doubt_n but_o there_o will_v be_v find_v a_o sort_n of_o man_n at_o this_o day_n that_o curse_v the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o our_o great_a high_a priest_n will_v preserve_v they_o the_o blessing_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v with_o they_o and_o go_v along_o with_o they_o numb_a 23._o 23._o there_o be_v no_o enchantment_n against_o jacob_n nor_o no_o divination_n against_o israel_n therefore_o moses_n tell_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o the_o 23._o duteronomy_n and_o the_o beginning_n you_o shall_v remember_v how_o balak_n the_o king_n of_o moab_n hire_v balaam_n to_o curse_v you_o nevertheless_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n will_v not_o hearken_v to_o balaam_n when_o you_o hear_v of_o idolater_n and_o profane_a man_n curse_v the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o curse_v of_o they_o that_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n you_o may_v know_v this_o that_o those_o people_n be_v under_o the_o blessing_n of_o our_o great_a melchisedeck_v this_o you_o may_v observe_v from_o melchisedeck_n blessing_n of_o abraham_n come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o second_o verse_n to_o consider_v melchisedeck_n place_n and_o office_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 2d_o verse_n to_o who_o also_o abraham_n give_v a_o ten_o of_o all_o first_o being_z by_o interpretation_n king_n of_o righteousness_n and_o after_o that_o also_o king_n of_o salem_n which_o be_v king_n of_o peace_n 1._o we_o have_v here_o what_o abraham_n do_v for_o melchisedeck_v and_o then_o we_o have_v the_o mystery_n bring_v in_o i._n e._n in_o melchisedecks_n name_n and_o title_n 1._o what_o abraham_n do_v he_o give_v he_o a_o ten_o part_n of_o all_o the_o spoil_n of_o the_o four_o king_n that_o have_v plunder_v the_o country_n round_o about_o and_o this_o he_o give_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n and_o as_o one_o that_o be_v in_o that_o sacred_a office_n and_o here_o i_o may_v take_v occasion_n to_o show_v and_o observe_v that_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n ought_v to_o have_v maintenance_n allow_v mean_n for_o so_o abraham_n do_v he_o allow_v this_o great_a minister_n a_o ten_o part_n before_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o jacob_n vow_v a_o vow_n to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v the_o ten_o of_o all_o his_o increase_n to_o he_o gen._n 28._o and_o the_o last_o verse_n how_o be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o give_v it_o to_o god_n himself_o no_o but_o the_o meaning_n be_v he_o will_v give_v it_o to_o those_o that_o belong_v to_o god_n i_o know_v it_o have_v be_v a_o long_a dispute_n whether_o ten_o for_o tithe_n ought_v to_o be_v continue_v any_o long_o or_o any_o more_o than_o altar_n and_o sacrifice_n in_o a_o reform_a christian_a church_n i_o shall_v not_o determine_v that_o but_o this_o we_o may_v all_o be_v assure_v of_o that_o if_o tithe_n or_o ten_o be_v of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n and_o so_o be_v abolish_v yet_o the_o moral_a equity_n be_v to_o abide_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o those_o that_o minister_n at_o god_n altar_n shall_v have_v honourable_a and_o comfortable_a maintenance_n i_o confess_v i_o never_o delight_v to_o insist_v upon_o such_o doctrine_n as_o this_o be_v nor_o shall_v i_o at_o this_o time_n but_o because_o it_o lie_v in_o my_o way_n let_v i_o give_v you_o a_o few_o
