this_o be_v that_o we_o affirm_v that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o belong_v for_o ever_o to_o minister_n of_o holy_a thing_n and_o therefore_o in_o these_o day_n to_o minister_n of_o the_o

that_o live_v take_v tithe_n as_o if_o in_o his_o judgement_n tithe_n and_o priesthood_n be_v as_o inseparable_a as_o kingdom_n and_o tribute_n now_o the_o mayor_n of_o the_o principal_a syllogism_n if_o any_o doubt_n of_o to_o wit_n whether_o the_o portion_n due_a to_o christ_n be_v due_a to_o minister_n let_v he_o compare_v 1._o cor._n 9_o 14._o where_n be_v the_o express_a ordinance_n of_o

plain_a deduction_n out_o of_o scripture_n if_o any_o can_v bring_v i_o he_o shall_v much_o sway_v i_o to_o his_o sentence_n this_o argument_n i_o remember_v once_o to_o have_v propound_v something_o otherwise_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o portion_n due_a to_o priesthood_n after_o melchisedec_n his_o order_n be_v due_a to_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o tithe_n be_v that_o portion_n ergo._n and_o thus_o propound_v it_o i_o receive_v these_o answer_n the_o proposition_n seem_v untrue_a except_o you_o can_v prove_v yourselves_o priest_n after_o that_o order_n resp_n whereto_o i_o thus_o

original_o they_o belong_v have_v ordain_v we_o to_o live_v of_o his_o portion_n a_o second_o answer_n be_v by_o limitation_n the_o portion_n due_a by_o law_n to_o that_o priesthood_n be_v due_a to_o minister_n but_o with_o that_o limitation_n the_o assumption_n be_v false_a abraham_n payment_n be_v a_o act_n rather_o voluntary_a then_o by_o any_o injunction_n from_o god_n but_o contra_fw-la that_o that_o act_n of_o abraham_n be_v no_o act_n in_o this_o sense_n voluntary_a but_o rather_o a_o act_n of_o necessary_a and_o enjoined_a duty_n be_v evident_a i_o think_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o for_o that_o gift_n voluntary_a proceed_n from_o bounty_n or_o liberality_n imply_v a_o superiority_n or_o excellency_n in_o the_o giver_n above_o the_o receiver_n for_o 20.35_o for_o act._n 20.35_o its_o a_o more_o bless_a thing_n in_o that_o kind_n to_o give_v then_o to_o receive_v but_o abraham_n payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v testimony_n of_o his_o inferiority_n again_o the_o phrase_n itself_o 7.4.6_o itself_o heb._n 7.4.6_o imply_v as_o much_o melchisedec_n tithe_v abraham_n ver_fw-la 6._o a_o phrase_n that_o lose_v all_o his_o emphasis_n if_o no_o injunction_n have_v subject_v

for_o tithing_n 2._o how_o prove_v they_o but_o probable_o that_o it_o be_v without_o injunction_n of_o law_n if_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o that_o we_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o any_o law_n
