a_o change_n of_o the_o law_n fulw._n i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o defend_v our_o take_n of_o tithe_n against_o his_o verse_n one_o of_o which_o i_o be_o sure_a will_v hold_v the_o first_o be_v that_o we_o claim_v not_o tithe_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v command_v there_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n whereby_o we_o have_v as_o clear_v a_o title_n to_o our_o tithe_n as_o that_o gentleman_n have_v to_o his_o estate_n the_o second_o thing_n that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v be_v that_o you_o can_v prove_v by_o this_o text_n that_o the_o only_a law_n for_o tithe_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v abolish_v answ_n even_o upon_o this_o ground_n have_v thy_o generation_n who_o heart_n be_v exercise_v with_o covetous_a practice_n in_o all_o age_n cause_v the_o saint_n and_o servant_n of_o god_n of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o suffer_v some_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n heb._n 11._o and_o other_o the_o trial_n of_o cruel_a mock_n yea_o moreover_o bond_n and_o imprisonment_n for_o bear_v witness_n against_o their_o deceit_n here_o thou_o have_v manifest_v thyself_o sufficient_o to_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n doctrine_n and_o command_n as_o before_o in_o this_o relation_n be_v express_v to_o wit_n bind_v by_o man_n to_o preach_v every_o lord_n day_n and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n thou_o receive_v thy_o reward_n and_o so_o if_o thou_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o sue_v any_o of_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n at_o the_o law_n and_o take_v away_o their_o coat_n thou_o may_v have_v their_o cloak_n also_o for_o they_o can_v resist_v thou_o
