the_o scripture_n where_o be_v the_o divine_a right_o either_o for_o tithe_n or_o the_o other_o great_a revenue_n you_o clergyman_n compel_v the_o nation_n to_o pay_v you_o it_o be_v not_o from_o

what_o they_o answer_v when_o he_o question_v they_o as_o in_o luke_n 22._o 35._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o when_o i_o send_v you_o without_o purse_n and_o scrip_n and_o shoe_n lack_v you_o any_o

a_o example_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a you_o do_v no_o more_o love_n to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o primitive_a minister_n than_o you_o love_v to_o submit_v to_o what_o christ_n have_v

you_o make_v it_o not_o your_o concern_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o your_o practice_n and_o what_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v power_n and_o assert_v his_o power_n thou_o see_v what_o power_n he_o
