impossibility_n to_o remove_v they_o quite_o unless_o every_o minister_n be_v as_o st._n paul_n content_v to_o teach_v gratis_o but_o few_o such_o be_v to_o be_v find_v as_o therefore_o we_o can_v

never_o think_v tithe_n moral_a but_o ceremonial_a only_o that_o christian_n therefore_o shall_v take_v they_o up_o when_o jew_n have_v lay_v they_o down_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o absurd_a and_o preposterous_a next_o it_o be_v as_o clear_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n that_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n have_v not_o their_o tithe_n for_o their_o labour_n only_o in_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v to_o have_v no_o other_o part_n nor_o inheritance_n in_o the_o land_n ver_fw-la 20_o 24._o and_o by_o that_o mean_n for_o a_o ten_o lose_v a_o twelve_o but_o our_o levites_n undergo_n no_o such_o law_n of_o deprievement_n can_v have_v no_o right_n to_o any_o such_o compensation_n nay_o if_o by_o this_o law_n they_o will_v have_v tithe_n can_v have_v no_o inheritance_n of_o land_n but_o forfeit_v what_o they_o have_v beside_o this_o tithe_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n those_o of_o every_o year_n and_o those_o of_o every_o three_o year_n of_o the_o former_a every_o one_o

every_o three_o year_n they_o be_v not_o only_o give_v to_o the_o levite_n but_o to_o the_o stranger_n the_o fatherless_a and_o the_o widow_n ver_fw-la 28._o 29._o and_o chap._n 26_o 12_o 13._o so_o that_o we_o if_o they_o will_v have_v tithe_n must_v admit_v of_o these_o sharer_n with_o they_o nay_o these_o tithe_n be_v not_o pay_v in_o at_o all_o to_o the_o levite_n but_o the_o levite_n himself_o be_v to_o come_v with_o those_o his_o fellow-guest_n and_o eat_v his_o share_n of_o they_o only_o at_o his_o house_n who_o provide_v they_o and_o this_o not_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o ministerial_a office_n but_o because_o he_o have_v no_o part_n nor_o inheritance_n in_o the_o land_n last_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n a_o tribe_n be_v of_o a_o different_a constitution_n from_o this_o of_o our_o minister_n under_o the_o gospel_n in_o they_o be_v order_n and_o degree_n both_o by_o family_n dignity_n and_o office_n main_o distinguish_v the_o high_a priest_n his_o brethren_n

of_o our_o minister_n to_o a_o high_a priest_n but_o rather_o to_o a_o common_a levite_n unless_o then_o to_o keep_v their_o tithe_n they_o mean_v to_o bring_v back_o again_o bishop_n archbishop_n and_o the_o whole_a gang_n of_o prelatry_n to_o who_o will_v they_o themselves_o pay_v tithe_n as_o by_o that_o law_n it_o be_v sin_n to_o they_o if_o they_o do_v not_o ver_fw-la 32_o certain_o this_o must_v needs_o put_v they_o to_o a_o deep_a demur_n while_o the_o desire_n of_o hold_v fast_o their_o tithe_n without_o sin_n may_v tempt_v they_o to_o bring_v back_o again_o bishop_n as_o the_o likeness_n of_o that_o hierarchy_n that_o shall_v receive_v tithe_n from_o they_o and_o the_o desire_n to_o pay_v none_o may_v advise_v they_o to_o keep_v out_o of_o the_o church_n all_o order_n above_o they_o but_o if_o we_o have_v to_o do_v at_o present_a as_o i_o suppose_v we_o have_v with_o true_a reform_a protestant_n not_o with_o papist_n or_o prelate_n it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v but_o two_o minesterial_a degree_n presbyter_n and_o deacon_n which_o if_o they_o contend_v to_o have_v any_o succession_n reference_n or_o conformity_n with_o those_o two_o degree_n under_o the_o law_n priest_n and_o levite_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v such_o whereby_o our_o minister_n may_v be_v answerable_a to_o priest_n and_o our_o deacon_n to_o levite_n by_o which_o ru●e_n of_o proportion_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o must_v pay_v our_o tithe_n to_o the_o deacon_n only_o and_o they_o only_o to_o their_o minister_n but_o if_o it_o true_a yet_o that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n typify_v a_o better_a reality_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 5._o signify_v the_o christian_a true_a and_o holy_a priesthood_n to_o offer_v up_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n it_o
