think_v this_o number_n come_v from_o the_o judicial_a part_n of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o fit_a proportion_n to_o maintain_v one_o tribe_n out_o of_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o other_o eleven_o tribe_n for_o that_o this_o number_n or_o quotitie_n be_v reveal_v to_o be_v god_n long_o before_o the_o law_n and_o before_o there_o be_v any_o such_o division_n of_o tribe_n among_o the_o people_n of_o

to_o be_v presume_v that_o the_o law_n which_o come_v long_o after_o imprint_v a_o form_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v so_o long_o in_o be_v before_o there_o be_v any_o law_n or_o ceremony_n but_o as_o the_o apostle_n or_o prime-christians_a whenas_o they_o do_v first_o change_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbaoth_n by_o divine_a inspiration_n or_o otherwise_o from_o the_o day_n of_o the_o creation_n to_o the_o day_n of_o the_o resurrection_n dare_v not_o substitute_v any_o other_o day_n into_o the_o place_n of_o the_o first_o day_n than_o a_o seven_o for_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v reveal_v

translate_v this_o provision_n of_o tithe_n for_o their_o ministry_n from_o the_o jewish_a church_n unto_o their_o own_o church_n change_v the_o number_n of_o ten_o into_o another_o number_n beside_o more_o or_o less_o for_o that_o god_n have_v no_o less_o manifest_v his_o will_n in_o sundry_a part_n of_o the_o scripture_n as_o concern_v this_o number_n to_o be_v a_o number_n for_o the_o

the_o schoolman_n herein_o do_v great_a wrong_n to_o the_o church_n who_o by_o their_o quaint_a distinction_n bring_v this_o certainty_n to_o a_o uncertainty_n which_o be_v not_o where_o to_o be_v
