do_v profess_v the_o gospel_n leave_v of_o pride_n and_o covetousness_n there_o will_v not_o be_v such_o variance_n among_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o there_o be_v which_o do_v breed_v and_o bring_v a_o great_a scandal_n to_o the_o truth_n it_o make_v ignorant_a people_n to_o speak_v idle_o and_o harshiy_a of_o religion_n and_o say_v there_o be_v so_o many_o religion_n that_o we_o can_v

of_o god_n so_o among_o many_o difference_n here_o be_v one_o about_o tithe_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v prove_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n 1_o tim._n 5.17.18_o and_o so_o do_v reason_n the_o case_n in_o a_o fair_a exemplary_a way_n in_o the_o 1_o cor._n 9_o the_o 9.10.11_o and_o 12._o vers_fw-la and_o in_o the_o 13._o and_o 14._o vers_fw-la he_o come_v close_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o these_o word_n do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o they_o which_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n live_v or_o feed_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o

of_o the_o gospel_n i_o hope_v you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a how_o the_o priest_n and_o levite_n the_o minister_n jnstrument_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n how_o they_o do_v live_v so_o if_o

and_o spiritual_a you_o see_v though_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n be_v change_v yet_o the_o maintenance_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v not_o change_v the_o apostle_n go_v on_o in_o the_o 14._o vers_fw-la that_o as_o he_o say_v even_o now_o that_o as_o they_o which_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n live_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o temple_n and_o they_o that_o wait_v

where_o they_o can_v prove_v that_o god_n have_v ordain_v maintenance_n other_o way_n for_o a_o inheritance_n then_o in_o the_o 18._o chap._n of_o numb_a the_o 21._o and_o 24._o and_o if_o any_o

any_o that_o say_v tithe_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o as_o indeed_o they_o say_v nothing_o second_o it_o savour_v of_o covetousness_n for_o there_o be_v many_o that_o think_v if_o they_o can_v save_v their_o tithe_n to_o their_o own_o use_n they_o have_v get_v a_o great_a booty_n and_o much_o benefit_n to_o themselves_o when_o as_o indeed_o it_o make_v the_o
