of_o the_o vow_n concern_v payment_n of_o tithe_n to_o maintain_v god_n worship_n it_o may_v be_v grant_v necessary_a in_o the_o general_a that_o there_o be_v a_o allowance_n but_o that_o this_o allowance_n must_v be_v precise_o and_o simple_o the_o very_a ten_o that_o may_v seem_v ambiguous_a for_o as_o the_o one_o a_o circumstance_n of_o place_n so_o the_o other_o a_o circumstance_n of_o quantity_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v leave_v to_o man_n discretion_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a as_o we_o show_v cap._n 4._o that_o diverse_a circumstance_n be_v diverse_a time_n permit_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o godly_a man_n but_o in_o matter_n so_o serious_a and_o weighty_a as_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o their_o holy_a vow_n they_o be_v ever_o most_o wary_a not_o to_o determine_v any_o of_o the_o least_o circumstance_n but_o upon_o special_a cause_n as_o may_v appear_v in_o this_o vow_n of_o jacob_n one_o may_v think_v that_o for_o this_o circumstance_n of_o place_n a_o other_o place_n may_v have_v serve_v as_o well_o as_o this_o but_o we_o shall_v find_v if_o we_o due_o examine_v it_o that_o jacob_n do_v not_o assume_v this_o place_n only_o upon_o his_o own_o pleasure_n but_o upon_o such_o weighty_a reason_n as_o do_v tie_v jacob_n to_o this_o place_n before_o any_o other_o for_o first_o in_o this_o place_n god_n do_v both_o reveal_v christ_n with_o his_o benefit_n unto_o jacob_n under_o the_o figure_n of_o that_o ladder_n which_o appear_v unto_o he_o in_o his_o dream_n and_o also_o make_v promise_n unto_o he_o both_o of_o a_o safe_a return_n into_o his_o country_n and_o also_o of_o the_o enjoy_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n of_o canaan_n for_o a_o possession_n and_o inheritance_n to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o seed_n in_o this_o place_n do_v god_n promise_v unto_o jacob_n that_o his_o seed_n shall_v multiply_v as_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n all_o the_o world_n over_o and_o that_o the_o propitiator_n jesus_n christ_n who_o shall_v procure_v the_o eternal_a happiness_n unto_o the_o world_n shall_v proceed_v also_o from_o the_o very_a loin_n of_o jacob_n as_o be_v plain_a from_o the_o begin_n of_o v._o 11._o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 15._o v._n second_o jacob_n do_v not_o vow_n to_o make_v this_o place_n the_o house_n of_o god_n of_o his_o own_o head_n but_o god_n have_v first_o make_v the_o place_n to_o be_v his_o house_n and_o then_o jacob_n do_v but_o accept_v of_o the_o place_n which_o god_n have_v choose_v for_o so_o the_o text_n be_v plain_a this_o be_v no_o other_o but_o even_o the_o house_n of_o god_n so_o that_o jacob_n have_v no_o more_o liberty_n for_o building_n unto_o god_n a_o altar_n in_o this_o place_n than_o solomon_n have_v for_o build_v the_o temple_n in_o jerusalem_n uz._n in_o the_o place_n which_o god_n himself_o have_v 29._o 1._o reg._n 8._o 29._o choose_v so_o that_o whether_o we_o consider_v the_o first_o reason_n namely_o that_o in_o this_o place_n jacob_n find_v so_o much_o favour_n and_o receive_v so_o many_o fair_a and_o sure_a promise_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n or_o the_o second_o reason_n uz._n that_o this_o be_v god_n house_n already_o god_n himself_o have_v already_o choose_v it_o we_o shall_v see_v plain_o that_o this_o be_v the_o only_a place_n for_o jacob_n to_o build_v a_o altar_n for_o god_n in_o for_o first_o no_o place_n so_o fit_a and_o beneficial_a for_o jacobs_n devotion_n as_o the_o place_n which_o can_v put_v he_o in_o mind_n of_o so_o many_o large_a heavenly_a favour_n and_o second_o a_o necessity_n be_v lay_v upon_o jacob_n to_o make_v this_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o god_n himself_o have_v make_v it_o his_o own_o house_n already_o thus_o far_o then_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o every_o whit_n of_o this_o vow_n of_o jacob_n be_v a_o matter_n necessary_a yea_o the_o least_o circumstance_n thereof_o have_v a_o most_o due_a regard_n to_o the_o aforegoing_a will_n of_o god_n in_o precise_a and_o particular_a determination_n vow_v no_o more_o to_o god_n then_o what_o god_n himself_o already_o require_v then_o for_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o vow_n which_o concern_v provision_n to_o maintain_v god_n worship_n we_o must_v also_o acknowledge_v that_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o special_a cause_n not_o only_o in_o general_n that_o it_o must_v be_v something_o but_o also_o in_o particular_a that_o it_o must_v be_v this_o determine_a something_o the_o very_a ten_o for_o if_o the_o particular_a place_n of_o the_o altar_n be_v not_o assign_v without_o special_a cause_n then_o assure_o jacob_n so_o godly_a a_o man_n so_o well_o instruct_v so_o deep_o affect_v in_o his_o mind_n with_o reverence_n as_o appear_v v._o 17._o so_o advise_v and_o serious_a in_o the_o whole_a carriage_n so_o faithful_o regard_v to_o fly_v his_o own_o fantasy_n and_o to_o follow_v careful_o the_o very_a will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o least_o circumstance_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o vow_n do_v not_o now_o in_o extremo_fw-la deficere_fw-la and_o in_o the_o last_o point_n swerve_v from_o god_n direction_n to_o his_o own_o devise_n but_o as_o in_o the_o former_a point_n so_o also_o in_o this_o he_o have_v a_o regard_n to_o the_o know_a will_n of_o almighty_a god_n vow_v unto_o god_n the_o ten_o because_o he_o know_v this_o to_o be_v the_o portion_n which_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o for_o if_o the_o eight_o nine_o 64._o 〈◊〉_d pag._n 64._o or_o twelve_o or_o any_o other_o part_n have_v be_v the_o part_n which_o god_n will_v have_v accept_v then_o assure_o have_v jacob_n vow_v that_o and_o not_o this_o yea_o further_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o jacob_n dare_v have_v determine_v any_o part_n if_o he_o have_v not_o either_o know_v aforehand_o or_o be_v present_o inform_v that_o that_o be_v the_o share_n which_o god_n have_v reserve_v for_o his_o own_o portion_n as_o bethel_n be_v not_o beth-el_a or_o god_n house_n because_o ●_o carlet_a 〈◊〉_d cap._n ●_o jacob_n vow_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o but_o jacob_n vow_v he_o will_v so_o esteem_v it_o because_o it_o be_v god_n house_n already_o even_o so_o the_o ten_o part_n become_v not_o god_n part_n because_o jacob_n do_v vow_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v god_n but_o jacob_n do_v vow_n that_o he_o will_v faithful_o perform_v the_o ten_o to_o god_n because_o he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v the_o lord_n own_o part_n already_o and_o herein_o jacob_n do_v no_o more_o his_o act_n of_o vow_v only_o except_v then_o have_v be_v practise_v by_o his_o forefather_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o former_a instance_n of_o his_o grandfather_n abraham_n the_o four_o practice_n concern_v payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v that_o of_o the_o israelite_n from_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n unto_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v the_o space_n of_o some_o 1500._o year_n all_o which_o time_n tithe_n be_v pay_v unto_o the_o levite_n by_o god_n assignation_n or_o appointment_n who_o take_v the_o levite_n into_o his_o special_a service_n in_o the_o stead_n of_o the_o first_o bear_v assign_v unto_o they_o his_o special_a revenue_n of_o tithe_n and_o offering_n for_o their_o service_n so_o long_o as_o the_o same_o shall_v endure_v as_o have_v be_v show_v cap._n 4._o but_o here_o now_o i_o think_v it_o sit_v to_o show_v something_o more_o full_o that_o howsoever_o the_o levite_n have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o tithe_n while_o they_o administer_v at_o the_o altar_n and_o in_o the_o temple_n &_o tabernacle_n yet_o tithe_n be_v not_o any_o such_o leviticall_a matter_n as_o be_v to_o cease_v when_o the_o child_n of_o levi_n give_v over_o their_o priesthood_n indeed_o that_o be_v the_o common_a error_n uz._n that_o tithe_n be_v mere_o leviticall_a and_o therefore_o now_o cease_v to_o be_v due_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o i_o shall_v by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n show_v the_o contrary_a by_o good_a reason_n thus_o therefore_o i_o argue_v that_o which_o be_v neither_o ceremonial_a nor_o judicial_a be_v not_o mere_o leviticall_a payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v neither_o ceremonial_a nor_o judicial_a therefore_o payment_n of_o tithe_n be_v not_o mere_a leviticall_a the_o proposition_n be_v manifest_o true_a for_o the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n be_v either_o moral_a judicial_a or_o ceremonial_a it_o follow_v evident_o that_o what_o be_v neither_o ceremonial_a nor_o judicial_a be_v moral_a and_o therefore_o not_o leviticall_a for_o howsoever_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v of_o force_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n yet_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o leviticall_a for_o that_o be_v call_v leviticall_a which_o begin_v and_o end_v with_o the_o priesthood_n of_o levi_n the_o moral_a law_n be_v before_o and_o continue_v still_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o moral_a law_n be_v not_o leviticall_a no_o more_o be_v
