now_o in_o the_o time_n of_o grace_n more_o intolerable_a than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o nature_n therefore_o tithe_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v require_v as_o a_o duty_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o although_o in_o those_o primitive_a time_n the_o tithe_n sol._n 1_o be_v not_o demand_v nor_o by_o any_o positive_a law_n command_v by_o god_n and_o therefore_o not_o pay_v until_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n have_v pay_v they_o yet_o this_o prove_v not_o that_o it_o be_v not_o due_a because_o it_o be_v not_o pay_v as_o it_o be_v no_o consequent_a that_o because_o god_n command_v not_o gain_n and_o abel_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n nor_o the_o son_n of_o sh_v to_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o their_o duty_n to_o do_v it_o for_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o we_o do_v not_o and_o so_o i_o have_v prove_v it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o pay_v tithe_n though_o they_o pay_v they_o not_o 2._o i_o say_v that_o before_o the_o law_n be_v give_v the_o father_n of_o the_o first_o age_n sol._n 2_o have_v many_o thing_n in_o use_n which_o be_v not_o answerable_a to_o that_o perfection_n which_o christ_n require_v in_o his_o follower_n and_o therefore_o he_o in_o join_v we_o to_o do_v many_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v not_o and_o so_o do_v the_o law_n itself_o both_o inhibit_v they_o to_o do_v some_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v amiss_o and_o command_v many_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v which_o they_o neglect_v and_o therefore_o that_o first_o age_n of_o the_o world_n be_v but_o the_o infancy_n of_o god_n church_n and_o the_o day_n of_o initiation_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v allege_v as_o example_n for_o our_o imitation_n for_o wh●n_o i_o be_v a_o child_n i_o do_v as_o a_o child_n but_o when_o i_o be_v a_o man_n i_o put_v away_o childish_a thing_n say_v the_o apostle_n 3._o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o need_n nor_o reason_n for_o the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n sol._n 3_o then_o though_o they_o be_v due_a to_o maintain_v the_o priest_n and_o minister_n of_o god_n as_o afterward_o and_o especial_o as_o now_o in_o our_o time_n because_o then_o the_o first_o bear_v of_o every_o family_n be_v the_o priest_n and_o he_o by_o the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o birthright_n be_v to_o have_v a_o double_a part_n and_o portion_n of_o inheritance_n and_o therefore_o 4._o and_o last_o i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o patriarch_n in_o those_o time_n when_o there_o sol._n 4_o be_v not_o positive_a commandment_n to_o pay_v tithe_n do_v notwithstanding_o pay_v they_o even_o to_o those_o priest_n that_o have_v mean_v enough_o of_o their_o own_o to_o live_v by_o it_o and_o have_v no_o need_n of_o tithe_n to_o sustain_v they_o then_o much_o rather_o shall_v we_o now_o pay_v they_o to_o those_o minister_n of_o christ_n that_o have_v no_o other_o maintenance_n and_o therefore_o can_v not_o labour_v in_o god_n vine-yard_n and_o discharge_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o call_n without_o they_o especial_o consider_v how_o often_o and_o how_o earnest_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n do_v command_v we_o and_o exhort_v we_o to_o do_v it_o and_o with_o such_o promise_n of_o blessing_n if_o we_o do_v it_o and_z curse_n if_o we_o refuse_v it_o 4._o they_o do_v object_n that_o the_o commandment_n for_o pay_v tithe_n be_v not_o obj._n 4_o moral_a but_o either_o judicial_a or_o ceremonial_a and_o we_o that_o be_v christian_n be_v not_o oblige_v to_o observe_v either_o the_o ceremonial_a or_o the_o judicial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n because_o all_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v but_o shadow_n type_n and_o prediction_n show_v the_o come_n do_n and_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o the_o true_a light_n and_o substance_n of_o those_o shadow_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n be_v come_v all_o those_o shadow_n be_v at_o a_o end_n and_o vanish_v away_o and_o the_o judicial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v only_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o that_o people_n and_o do_v not_o oblige_v other_o nation_n to_o observe_v they_o and_o therefore_o the_o christian_n be_v no_o way_n oblige_v to_o the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n to_o this_o objection_n which_o some_o of_o our_o opposer_n think_v to_o be_v invincible_a i_o sol._n answer_v and_o it_o may_v be_v contrary_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o many_o divine_n of_o no_o mean_a or_o usual_a learning_n and_o i_o say_v for_o tithe_n 1._o that_o they_o be_v due_a to_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n for_o ever_o by_o a_o divine_a natural_a and_o moral_a right_n as_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v to_o you_o before_o and_o if_o they_o do_v object_n and_o say_v that_o if_o the_o precept_n of_o pay_v tithe_n be_v of_o a_o natural_a right_n and_o a_o moral_a precept_n than_o the_o payment_n thereof_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v command_v within_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n because_o all_o moral_a precept_n be_v comprehend_v within_o those_o ten_o commandment_n but_o the_o precept_n of_o pay_v tithe_n be_v not_o in_o any_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o moral_a precept_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v command_v in_o four_o special_a commandment_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n as_o in_o the_o first_o the_o four_o the_o six_o the_o eighth_z for_o as_o the_o prophet_n

the_o commandment_n as_o when_o the_o commandment_n say_v honour_v thy_o father_n and_o thy_o mother_n it_o injoyn_v thou_o to_o feed_v he_o and_o to_o maintain_v he_o as_o joseph_n do_v his_o father_n jacob_n when_o he_o want_v and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o maintain_v himself_o and_o when_o it_o say_v thou_o shall_v do_v no_o murder_n it_o forbid_v we_o to_o hate_v or_o to_o be_v angry_a with_o our_o neighbour_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v thou_o shall_v have_v none_o other_o god_n but_o i_o he_o command_v we_o to_o render_v unto_o god_n what_o be_v god_n as_o well_o to_o

hope_n love_n fear_v and_o the_o like_a so_o when_o he_o command_v we_o to_o keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n he_o command_v we_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o do_v further_o and_o do_v appertain_v to_o the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o who_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o payment_n of_o our_o tithe_n to_o the_o preacher_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o principal_a mean_n to_o further_o and_o cause_n the_o sanctify_a of_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o as_o the_o artist_n can_v work_v without_o his_o tool_n so_o the_o minister_n can_v
