from_o as_o he_o do_v from_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n in_o that_o he_o see_v no_o just_a reason_n on_o any_o account_n for_o the_o abrogation_n of_o it_o at_o his_o death_n but_o he_o derogate_a not_o in_o the_o least_o jota_n from_o the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n as_o from_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n on_o so_o just_a a_o occasion_n and_o so_o great_a a_o provocation_n therefore_o he_o see_v nothing_o in_o it_o for_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v abrogate_a at_o his_o death_n with_o such_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n argum._n 2_o in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o argue_v thus_o affirmative_o that_o which_o our_o lord_n do_v not_o so_o remonstrate_v to_o as_o to_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n on_o so_o just_a a_o occasion_n and_o provocation_n in_o that_o he_o see_v something_o more_o valuable_a than_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v abrogate_a with_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n and_o jewish_a observance_n at_o his_o death_n but_o in_o this_o case_n our_o lord_n remonstrate_v nothing_o against_o payment_n of_o tithe_n in_o the_o small_a instance_n therefore_o he_o see_v something_o more_o valuable_a than_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v abrogate_a with_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n and_o jewish_a observance_n at_o his_o death_n in_o both_o these_o argument_n i_o have_v place_v the_o stress_n not_o upon_o the_o sanction_n i_o have_v just_a before_o make_v evident_a our_o lord_n give_v to_o the_o law_n of_o tithe_n because_o i_o presume_v it_o may_v be_v suppose_v only_o temporary_a as_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n but_o the_o stress_n be_v place_v upon_o the_o treaty_n our_o lord_n give_v to_o this_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n very_o different_a from_o other_o part_n of_o it_o to_o be_v abrogate_a at_o his_o death_n and_o that_o together_o with_o the_o sanction_n he_o give_v to_o this_o particular_a law_n he_o make_v no_o explanatory_a remonstrance_n of_o its_o near_a approach_a abrogation_n for_o some_o fault_n he_o find_v with_o it_o this_o plain_o argue_v our_o lord_n see_v something_o so_o equitable_a in_o this_o law_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o which_o he_o intimate_v no_o signification_n that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v abrogate_a at_o his_o death_n but_o to_o continue_v in_o its_o own_o place_n for_o the_o very_a want_n of_o such_o a_o equity_n have_v else_o be_v a_o fault_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o christ_n now_o the_o minor_a proposition_n in_o both_o these_o argument_n that_o christ_n derogate_a nothing_o remonstrate_v nothing_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o text_n of_o both_o the_o evangelist_n who_o give_v we_o no_o account_n of_o any_o such_o either_o derogation_n or_o remonstrance_n but_o only_o of_o his_o sanction_n and_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v but_o they_o will_v as_o free_o have_v record_v and_o deliver_v over_o to_o we_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o that_o they_o will_v have_v be_v direct_v so_o to_o do_v by_o the_o divine_a spirit_n if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o point_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n for_o the_o proof_n therefore_o of_o the_o major_a proposition_n that_o christ_n not_o derogate_a from_o nor_o remonstrate_v to_o this_o law_n of_o tithe_n see_v nothing_o in_o it_o for_o which_o it_o shall_v be_v abrogate_a but_o that_o he_o see_v something_o in_o it_o why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v abrogate_a but_o continue_v after_o his_o death_n i_o shall_v now_o reason_v these_o two_o way_n 1._o by_o observe_v our_o saviour_n do_v remonstrate_v to_o any_o other_o part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n or_o jewish_a observance_n as_o they_o come_v in_o his_o way_n and_o by_o some_o fit_a way_n show_v either_o his_o present_a dislike_n or_o give_v some_o forebode_n of_o his_o pleasure_n they_o shall_v be_v abrogate_a at_o his_o death_n and_o his_o servant_n discharge_v from_o they_o but_o have_v not_o do_v so_o in_o this_o particular_a law_n it_o argue_v he_o see_v nothing_o in_o it_o at_o which_o he_o be_v at_o that_o present_a offend_v nor_o for_o which_o it_o shall_v be_v abrogate_a at_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v set_v myself_o to_o observe_v such_o particular_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n and_o jewish_a observance_n as_o by_o the_o evangelical_n record_v fall_v under_o our_o lord_n particular_a remark_n and_o of_o his_o particular_a demeanour_n towards_o the_o several_n of_o they_o compare_v with_o this_o 2._o in_o that_o our_o lord_n respect_v to_o this_o law_n as_o we_o shall_v under_o the_o former_a head_n make_v good_a will_v be_v find_v very_o different_a from_o other_o part_n of_o the_o jewish_a law_n and_o observance_n and_o that_o such_o a_o respect_n can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v ground_v on_o a_o indifferency_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a it_o will_v therefore_o follow_v he_o see_v something_o of_o a_o positive_a equity_n and_o goodness_n why_o he_o do_v so_o regard_v it_o as_o no_o way_n to_o predict_v its_o abrogation_n at_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v by_o a_o compare_n with_o other_o scripture_n centre_v in_o this_o to_o find_v out_o that_o positive_a equity_n and_o goodness_n let_v we_o then_o first_o examine_v our_o saviour_n treaty_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n 1._o and_o first_o as_o to_o the_o moral_a precept_n of_o moses_n his_o law_n our_o lord_n be_v so_o far_o from_o
