be_v very_o much_o comfort_v and_o encourage_v consider_v that_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n the_o truth_n will_v receive_v the_o great_a establishment_n tithe_n no_o maintenance_n for_o gospel-minister_n or_o a_o seasonable_a discourse_n concern_v tithe_n etc._n etc._n we_o shall_v omit_v to_o insert_v any_o thing_n as_o touch_v the_o name_n of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o say_a proposition_n by_o reason_n that_o he_o be_v either_o afraid_a to_o own_v it_o or_o ashamed_a to_o publish_v it_o remember_v what_o our_o saviour_n say_v john_n 3.20_o 21._o that_o every_o one_o that_o do_v evil_a hate_v the_o light_n neither_o come_v to_o the_o light_n lest_o his_o deed_n shall_v be_v reprove_v but_o he_o that_o do_v truth_n come_v to_o the_o light_n that_o his_o deed_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o god_n but_o to_o the_o proposition_n itself_o p._n the_o withhold_n of_o tithe_n from_o a_o minister_n that_o labour_v in_o

affirm_v that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v without_o they_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o command_n from_o god_n or_o example_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o grant_v he_o be_v a_o true_a gospel-minister_n yet_o ought_v he_o not_o to_o plead_v custom_n or_o antiquity_n to_o force_v man_n to_o pay_v tithe_n which_o be_v due_a only_o to_o the_o priest_n that_o serve_v at_o the_o altar_n

none_o of_o they_o that_o call_v themselves_o gospel-minister_n will_v be_v call_v priest_n of_o the_o leviticall_a law_n and_o press_v tithe_n for_o their_o maintenance_n or_o rather_o as_o their_o

then_o can_v we_o rob_v god_n except_o it_o be_v of_o his_o glory_n for_o matter_n of_o debt_n he_o be_v full_o satisfy_v but_o if_o it_o have_v be_v before_o the_o time_n of_o our_o delivery_n by_o

not_o to_o seek_v to_o blind_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o ignorant_a by_o your_o ancient_a custom_n what_o great_a argument_n have_v the_o jesuit_n to_o maintain_v their_o corrupt_a principle_n than_o
