13._o what_o face_n have_v our_o presbyterian_a rabbi_n to_o fly_v unto_o this_o for_o shelter_n and_o maintenance_n for_o their_o take_n of_o tithe_n of_o the_o people_n now_o in_o these_o reform_a

the_o jewish_a clergy_n be_v then_o in_o power_n and_o be_v though_o miserable_o corrupt_v and_o that_o party_n who_o be_v heal_v of_o that_o nation_n and_o so_o liable_a to_o payment_n and_o therefore_o christ_n injunction_n be_v both_o equal_a and_o righteous_a at_o that_o time_n another_o text_n too_o be_v use_v for_o payment_n of_o tithe_n and_o that_o be_v in_o those_o two_o man_n who_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v go_v into_o the_o temple_n to_o pray_v the_o one_o a_o pharisee_fw-mi and_o the_o other_o a_o publican_n among_o other_o particular_n which_o the_o pharisee_n boast_v of_o this_o be_v one_o that_o he_o give_v tithe_n of_o all_o that_o he_o possess_v luk._n 18.12_o see_v say_v our_o tythe-taker_n the_o very_a pharisee_n do_v not_o deny_v tithe_n and_o so_o hold_v out_o to_o plain_a people_n that_o those_o who_o deny_v to_o pay_v tithe_n be_v worse_o than_o the_o pharisee_n we_o reply_v do_v he_o pay_v tithe_n it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o the_o command_n then_o be_v in_o force_n and_o he_o a_o jew_n and_o one_o that_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o strict_a observant_a of_o the_o law_n now_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v thou_o that_o boast_v of_o the_o law_n

god_n and_o yet_o we_o have_v but_o his_o own_o brag_n and_o boast_v word_n and_o some_o suspicion_n may_v be_v move_v concern_v his_o do_v as_o he_o say_v for_o for_o all_o his_o boast_n this_o do_v not_o justify_v but_o in_o the_o last_o place_n this_o be_v not_o a_o real_a history_n but_o a_o parable_n for_o the_o text_n say_v and_o he_o speak_v this_o parable_n luk._n 18.9_o so_o neither_o of_o these_o do_v any_o thing_n help_v the_o cause_n of_o tithe_n at_o this_o present_a well_o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o main_a refuge_n that_o large_a and_o copious_a text_n of_o the_o apostle_n
