example_n for_o our_o practice_n of_o pay_v of_o tithe_n for_o you_o rencouragement_n and_o concern_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n whereas_o you_o say_v it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o withdraw_v his_o blessing_n by_o reason_n we_o can_v pay_v tithe_n for_o your_o maintenance_n we_o may_v just_o say_v it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o draw_v his_o blessing_n from_o your_o end_n eavour_n and_o that_o upon_o good_a ground_n by_o reason_n that_o you_o go_v on_o in_o a_o illegal_a way_n contrary_a to_o precept_n or_o example_n to_o urge_v that_o as_o your_o due_n which_o never_o be_v and_o to_o press_v it_o so_o hard_a on_o the_o conscience_n of_o any_o so_o that_o you_o have_v entrap_v multitude_n into_o your_o snare_n and_o begin_v but_o this_o be_v sure_a that_o instead_o of_o a_o blessing_n your_o speak_v of_o you_o may_v fear_v the_o contrary_a lest_o that_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n will_v light_v upon_o you_o and_o all_o your_o proceed_n that_o seek_v to_o d●…hrone_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o set_v up_o your_o own_o power_n and_o to_o nullify_v his_o law_n and_o to_o enact_v the_o law_n of_o moses_n or_o rather_o the_o law_n of_o man_n but_o as_o the_o foundation_n of_o that_o law_n be_v sandy_a have_v no_o more_o weight_n but_o ancient_a custom_n as_o you_o false_o assume_v time_n our_o of_o mind_n so_o the_o fall_n of_o it_o will_v be_v great_a when_o your_o sin_n be_v ripen_v and_o the_o time_n be_v come_v of_o your_o downfall_n and_o then_o your_o grief_n will_v be_v more_o and_o more_o encerease_v but_o now_o we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o your_o five_o reason_n to_o examine_v what_o weight_n that_o have_v whereby_o to_o work_v forth_o our_o conscience_n to_o this_o point_n of_o you_o concern_v the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n to_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n reas_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n say_v you_o wherein_o and_o whereby_o the_o desrauder_n rob_v his_o own_o sell_v of_o that_o spiritual_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n which_o he_o may_v get_v by_o such_o a_o ministry_n for_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n go_v say_v to_o such_o a_o man_n thou_o withdrawe_v maintenance_n from_o servant_n and_o i_o will_v withdraw_v my_o blessing_n from_o my_o own_o ordinance_n so_o that_o the_o word_n preach_v by_o whosoever_o it_o be_v dispense_v shall_v do_v thou_o no_o good_a at_o all_o but_o rather_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o savour_n of_o death_n to_o thy_o own_o condemnation_n thy_o soul_n shall_v never_o prosper_v or_o thrive_v by_o any_o sermon_n thou_o hear_v we_o admire_v to_o see_v or_o hear_v from_o any_o man_n such_o rash_a inconsiderate_a censure_n when_o as_o our_o lord_n and_o master_n christ_n jusus_n have_v jest_v we_o such_o a_o warn_a piece_n in_o mat._n 7._o judge_v not_o lest_o thou_o be_v judge_n for_o matter_n of_o fraud_n or_o cheat_v we_o think_v we_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v the_o priest_n we_o mean_v the_o presbyterian_a priest_n be_v the_o great_a defrander_n therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o now_o touch_v any_o further_a upon_o that_o but_o to_o show_v in_o this_o particular_a your_o cunning_a cautelous_a wile_n wherein_o you_o lie_v in_o wait_n to_o deceice_n but_o we_o be_v exhort_v not_o tolet_a any_o man_n beguile_v we_o we_o hope_v the_o lord_n will_v still_o support_v we_o with_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o spirit_n to_o discern_v all_o your_o wile_n and_o especial_o this_o of_o your_o injunction_n of_o tithe_n but_o you_o go_v about_o to_o fright_v we_o with_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o you_o measure_v god_n justice_n which_o be_v a_o attribute_n in_o himself_o unchangeable_a by_o the_o justice_n of_o man_n who_o be_v mutable_a in_o this_o you_o show_v a_o great_a presumption_n to_o meddle_v with_o god_n justice_n but_o in_o this_o you_o be_v rash_a and_o censorious_a as_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o reason_n but_o for_o answer_v we_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o tithe_n be_v not_o maintenance_n for_o minister_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o be_v to_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n therefore_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n to_o perform_v any_o unlawful_a action_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o any_o though_o you_o be_v gospel_n minister_n but_o to_o pay_v tithe_n be_v unlawful_a therefore_o no_o sin_n to_o deny_v the_o pay_v thereof_o for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o minister_n for_o that_o god_n have_v not_o command_v if_o we_o make_v it_o our_o duty_n though_o command_v by_o man_n it_o be_v will-worship_n as_o worship_v of_o angel_n etc._n etc._n colos_fw-la 7.18_o 19_o and_o god_n may_v say_v who_o have_v require_v

expect_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n upon_o the_o work_n of_o your_o ministry_n so_o long_o as_o you_o plead_v for_o any_o false_a worship_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o you_o plead_v for_o baal_n
