that_o melchizedec_n be_v not_o the_o patriarch_n sem_fw-mi may_v be_v make_v plain_a first_o because_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o his_o descent_n be_v not_o count_v be_v without_o descent_n but_o the_o pedigree_n of_o sem_fw-mi may_v be_v trace_v down_o from_o adam_n and_o stand_v upon_o eternal_a record_n second_o melchizedec_n be_v say_v to_o be_v without_o father_n and_o without_o mother_n

prefer_v the_o order_n of_o melchizedec_n to_o the_o order_n of_o aaron_n or_o the_o levitical_a order_n because_o levi_n pay_v tithe_n to_o he_o in_o abraham_n which_o argument_n will_v be_v null_a if_o melchizedec_n and_o sem_fw-mi be_v the_o same_o for_o than_o will_v levi_n who_o be_v equal_o descend_v from_o sem_fw-mi and_z abraham_n pay_v tithe_n in_o the_o latter_a and_o receive_v they_o
