challenge_v laban_n for_o his_o wrongful_a imputation_n before_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o steal_v and_o even_o thus_o he_o move_v abraham_n to_o pay_v tithe_n to_o melchisedech_n the_o priest_n of_o the_o high_a god_n before_o the_o law_n be_v ordain_v to_o pay_v tithe_n and_o the_o law_n you_o know_v ordain_v tithe_n to_o be_v pay_v to_o the_o child_n of_o levy_v but_o

priest_n whether_o they_o be_v under_o the_o law_n afore_o the_o law_n or_o after_o the_o law_n here_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v some_o ask_v how_o it_o happen_v then_o that_o christ_n that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n make_v no_o express_a mention_n of_o tithe_n to_o be_v pay_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o answer_n be_v easy_a that_o while_o christ_n live_v the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o abrogate_a and_o after_o it_o continue_v some_o space_n in_o the_o apostle_n time_n until_o the_o dissolution_n of_o that_o commonwealth_n that_o the_o ceremony_n ordain_v of_o god_n himself_o may_v be_v honourable_o bury_v during_o which_o time_n it_o be_v unseasonable_a for_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n to_o snatch_v tithe_n unto_o themselves_o which_o by_o law_n be_v yet_o settle_v in_o the_o levite_n but_o after_o that_o legal_a priesthood_n be_v abolish_v then_o to_o who_o tithe_n belong_v christ_n himself_o declare_v not_o in_o word_n but_o by_o his_o fact_n &_o deed_n upon_o which_o i_o build_v the_o foundation_n of_o my_o argument_n thus_o that_o which_o christ_n receive_v in_o right_a of_o his_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v due_a to_o all_o the_o minister_n that_o succeed_v he_o in_o the_o same_o but_o christ_n receive_v tithe_n in_o right_a of_o his_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n tithe_n therefore_o be_v due_a to_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o same_o the_o assumption_n be_v prove_v in_o the_o 7._o chap._n to_o the_o hebr._n ver._n 9_o and_o to_o say_v as_o the_o thing_n be_v levy_v also_o which_o receive_v tithe_n pay_v tithe_n in_o abraham_n for_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o loin_n of_o his_o father_n abraham_n when_o melchisedech_n meet_v he_o the_o apostle_n purpose_n in_o that_o place_n be_v to_o prove_v the_o priesthood_n of_o christ_n great_a than_o the_o priesthood_n of_o aaron_n he_o prove_v it_o by_o two_o reason_n 1._o the_o less_o be_v bless_v of_o the_o great_a christ_n in_o melchisedech_n bless_v abraham_n and_o levy_v therefore_o abraham_n and_o levy_v be_v less_o than_o christ_n his_o second_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o matter_n that_o i_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o less_o pay_v tithe_n unto_o the_o great_a abraham_n the_o father_n of_o levy_v pay_v tithe_n to_o christ_n in_o melchisedech_n therefore_o levy_v do_v acknowledge_v christ_n to_o be_v great_a priest_n how_o because_o levy_v pay_v tithe_n that_o be_v due_a to_o the_o priest_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o melchisedech_n the_o figure_n of_o christ_n here_o two_o thing_n be_v remarkable_a first_o that_o tithe_n be_v perpetual_o allot_v to_o the_o priest_n else_o the_o apostle_n argument_n have_v carry_v no_o great_a solidity_n second_o that_o melchisedech_n neither_o give_v the_o blessing_n nor_o receive_v tithe_n in_o his_o own_o name_n but_o in_o the_o person_n and_o right_n of_o christ_n so_o as_o that_o which_o melchisedech_n do_v in_o figure_n be_v in_o deed_n and_o truth_n do_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v christ_n that_o give_v the_o blessing_n unto_o abraham_n as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o efficacy_n thereof_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o receive_v tithe_n as_o the_o apostle_n do_v conclude_v not_o wrongful_o he_o command_v in_o particular_a term_n to_o give_v unto_o caesar_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v caesar_n in_o general_a doctrine_n to_o yield_v every_o man_n his_o own_o therefore_o no_o man_n can_v well_o imagine_v that_o he_o will_v forestall_v or_o intercept_v any_o other_o due_a but_o receive_v his_o own_o by_o what_o right_a sure_o not_o in_o the_o right_n of_o his_o godhead_n whereby_o the_o supreme_a dominion_n of_o all_o thing_n rest_v in_o he_o but_o by_o the_o title_n and_o in_o the_o right_n of_o his_o priesthood_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n argue_v you_o that_o be_v hearer_n may_v make_v this_o use_n of_o my_o speech_n that_o see_v tithe_n be_v pay_v by_o abraham_n vow_v by_o jacob_n prescribe_v by_o the_o instinct_n of_o nature_n before_o the_o
