FARNEWORTH London Printed and are to be sold by Giles Calvert at the Black Spread-Eagle at the west end of Pauls 165● THey who claime Tythes as a divine right professing themselves to be Ministers of Christ and the new Covenant have long deceived the people seeing neither Christ nor his Gospel Ministers ever practised any such things in that Covenant who were made able Ministers thereof to preach the Gospel for Gospel allowance without Tythes as hereafter will appear and also without a set maintenance of 20. 40. 60. 100. or 200 l. by the year 2. They who profess themselves to be Ministers of Christ and transgresseth not abiding in his Doctrine have not God 2 Iohn 9. and are not to be received by believers but such are the Priests of these times therefore receive them not into your house neither bid them God speed least you in so doing be made partakers of their evil deeds 2 Iohn 9.10 il 3. They who claime Tythes of the people from that of Melchizedeck meeting Abraham when he returned from the slaughter of the Kings after the Conquest and blessed him who then freely without any Command or known Law than voluntarily for his blessing gave him the tenth of spoils returning the rest into their places at that present Tythes being a free-will offering and no command neither was they then given by a Law nor any more there to be done neither to Melchizedeck nor his successors that were after his order therefore according to that of Melchizedecke tythes was not after his order for succeeding ages but there begun and ended in that thing never done before nor after according to that order but the Priests of these times who call themselves Ministers that take Tythes of the people before their enemies are conquered and subdued and hath no blessing for them neither but before conquest take tythes of the people and compel them to pay them by a Law successively such are not after Melchizedeck the fygure and then likeness of Christ not the substance but Christ is now come the greater who is the end of all Figures and likeness of him and he now raignes who is after Melchizedeck and over who endures for ever the end and substance and sum of all things before and after Abraham and the Types in the life and power of truth over all God blessed for ever Therefore the Priests of the world who call themselves Gospell ministers but are not but by their Logick fallacies and Philosophy which is vain deceit Colos 2.8 hath in that long deceived the people and if they could have proved that they had been as Melchizedeck was when he met Abraham which they could not but if they had they were but to have taken Tythes of the Army to wit the tenth of the spoiles only and not before but after the Conquest provided that they had brought them forth from God a blessing and if the Souldiery would freely they might have given them a tenth out of the spoiles but not out of mens estates but no command for tenths out of the Spoils it might have been a free-will offering only at one time and no more Gen i4 answering that in Heb. 7. 4 They who take not of the Souldiery only but countrey also not the tenth of spoils but mens labours are contrary to Melchizedecks order therefore from that to be denyed and they who take tenths also before the conquest whilest people are burthened with Sin and Sinful oppressed by their enemies and adversary are there also contrary so they likewise who neither meet the Conqueror nor bring forth for him any blessing where the Conquest is such have no right in that to receive a gift the tenths of the spoils only therefore are these by such conquerors and souldiers to be denied for such are not after the order of him who was and is in the time of free-will offerings before the Law and witnessed through the Law in the same place out of Egyt where Abraham dwels and his seed that are in Abraham to see the end upon the rock witnessing the antient of days through the Cloud re●●●…nder and then stand over where the Priests of the world stand out who are the usurpers ruling in Tyranny over the people bond and free in that compelling people to pay tythes by a Law before they have conquered their enemies and have no blessing for them that are returned who divide the spoile and now begin to blossome seeing them the Peiests who have lost and are without the blessing and themselves yet under the curse as Ham was who lives in the disobedience to Christ and the New-Covenant being by nature and in it yet the children of wrath serving diverse lusts and pleasures who are not after the order of Melchizedeck neither before the Law with such yet as follow the error of Balaam who go on in the ways of Cam Iude 1i Gen. 3. but such are the Priests of the world who call themselves Ministers of the Gospel having no other proofe nor warrant but to say so as those who said they were the children of Abraham and said God was their Father but had no other proofe but to lay so for their natures properties and actions declared the contrary so that Christ the Gospel spirit told them they were of their father the Devil and his works they would do and if I say so to you the Priests and national Ministers your fruits declare the same to wit that you are of your father the Devil oppressing the people and this spirit that tels you so is not Ungospel-like but agreeing thereunto Iohn 8.45 Mat. 20. the 34.
