truth_n in_o the_o assertion_n for_o can_v any_o man_n imagine_v that_o abraham_n alone_o pay_v tithe_n to_o melchizedeck_v and_o the_o same_o law_n that_o be_v to_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o the_o

second_o reason_n have_v as_o little_a weight_n as_o the_o first_o for_o admit_v it_o all_o it_o will_v only_o prove_v a_o obligation_n to_o a_o lesser_a proportion_n as_o land_n be_v less_o in_o

wherein_o he_o sare_v much_o better_a than_o any_o of_o his_o brethren_n and_o let_v he_o relinquish_v tithe_n altogether_o but_o so_o it_o seem_v not_o good_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n but_o
