unto_o god_n house_n vow_v to_o beautify_v or_o at_o least_o to_o keep_v up_o those_o house_n which_o be_v build_v to_o our_o hand_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o second_o duty_n which_o jacob_n

the_o ten_o unto_o thou_o a_o duty_n necessary_o depend_v upon_o the_o two_o former_a as_o i_o say_v before_o for_o if_o god_n must_v be_v worship_v and_o have_v a_o house_n then_o must_v there_o of_o necessity_n be_v a_o maintenance_n therefore_o jacob_n in_o the_o three_o place_n for_o a_o perpetual_a maintenance_n of_o the_o worship_n and_o house_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o shall_v attend_v therein_o vow_v for_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o posterity_n as_o well_o of_o his_o faith_n as_o flesh_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n of_o all_o that_o thou_o shall_v give_v i_o i_o will_v sure_o give_v the_o ten_o unto_o thou_o but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o jacob_n here_o vow_v to_o give_v unto_o god_n rather_o the_o ten_o than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o his_o good_n sure_o howsoever_o some_o other_o cause_n may_v be_v allege_v yet_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v because_o jacob_n know_v either_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o by_o the_o tradition_n and_o practice_n of_o his_o ancestor_n that_o this_o quota_fw-la the_o very_a ten_o and_o no_o other_o part_n be_v be_v and_o for_o ever_o must_v be_v as_o due_a unto_o god_n as_o
