A38604 The civil right of tythes wherein, setting aside the higher plea of jus divinum from the equity of the Leviticall law, or that of nature for sacred services, and the certain apportioning of enough by the undoubted canon of the New Testament, the labourers of the Lords vineyard of the Church of England are estated in their quota pars of the tenth or tythe per legem terræ, by civil sanction or the law of the land ... / by C.E. ...

to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n since_o i_o receive_v your_o paper_n you_o do_v affirm_v in_o the_o hear_n of_o not_o few_o that_o god_n may_v at_o first_o have_v make_v a_o angel_n or_o some_o other_o creature_n and_o by_o it_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n how_o to_o reconcile_v one_o with_o the_o other_o be_v a_o thing_n unfeasible_a and_o therefore_o you_o must_v confess_v that_o you_o be_v not_o always_o infallible_a yea_o that_o sometime_o you_o differ_v from_o yourself_o and_o so_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o you_o disagree_v with_o other_o but_o what_o shall_v i_o take_v from_o your_o present_a judgement_n must_v your_o last_o word_n stand_v if_o so_o than_o you_o have_v weaken_v your_o cause_n and_o i_o may_v save_v a_o labour_n in_o return_v a_o answer_n to_o that_o which_o follow_v in_o your_o paper_n if_o the_o former_a than_o you_o must_v recant_v what_o you_o last_o say_v and_o i_o must_v not_o here_o make_v a_o end_n of_o my_o reply_n to_o your_o major_n the_o truth_n be_v i_o honour_v reason_n so_o much_o that_o i_o shall_v rather_o prostrate_v myself_o to_o its_o shadow_n and_o appearance_n then_o to_o the_o best_a man_n testimony_n and_o assertion_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v honour_v reason_n so_o much_o as_o not_o to_o pass_v by_o without_o examination_n that_o which_o appear_v in_o your_o paper_n with_o reasins_z dress_v on_o it_o your_o reason_n thus_o run_v now_o because_o creation_n be_v a_o make_n of_o all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o and_o require_v a_o infinite_a power_n god_n can_v make_v use_n of_o no_o instrument_n inasmuch_o as_o god_n can_v derive_v and_o give_v a_o infinite_a power_n to_o any_o creature_n because_o no_o creature_n be_v capable_a of_o such_o a_o divine_a attribute_n for_o it_o will_v make_v he_o god_n to_o be_v almighty_a or_o to_o be_v infinite_a in_o power_n answ_n i_o shall_v not_o answer_v to_o all_o in_o this_o reason_n which_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v sound_a doctrine_n but_o only_o so_o far_o as_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n require_v 1._o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n infinite_a power_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n yet_o be_v not_o the_o infinity_o of_o his_o power_n manifest_v full_o in_o that_o or_o any_o other_o work_n for_o he_o have_v more_o power_n than_o ever_o yet_o he_o have_v need_n to_o use_v or_o then_o can_v in_o any_o work_n be_v full_o declare_v 2._o your_o assertion_n plain_o deny_v the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v god_n almighty_a or_o infinite_a in_o power_n for_o you_o say_v that_o god_n can_v not_o give_v or_o derive_v a_o infinite_a power_n to_o any_o creature_n and_o that_o a_o creature_n can_v be_v god_n almighty_a etc._n etc._n the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v a_o creature_n how_o then_o can_v that_o person_n be_v god_n 3._o the_o ground_n of_o your_o argument_n be_v straw_n and_o stubble_n for_o infinite_a power_n may_v be_v manifest_v by_o they_o to_o who_o it_o be_v not_o communicate_v and_o so_o their_o proper_a power_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o those_o that_o wrought_v miracle_n and_o raise_v the_o dead_a in_o which_o infinite_a power_n be_v manifest_v and_o yet_o the_o instrument_n thereof_o be_v not_o in_o power_n infinite_a the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o gospel-preacher_n who_o god_n make_v his_o instrument_n in_o man_n conversion_n as_o great_a a_o work_n as_o the_o world_n creation_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o christ_n in_o his_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n but_o enough_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v now_o examine_v your_o minor_n which_o be_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v by_o jesus_n christ._n this_o be_v true_a christ_n be_v except_v of_o who_o creatural_a be_v i_o have_v already_o speak_v obj._n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o in_o john_n 1._o 3._o it_o

by_o the_o use_n of_o a_o instrument_n be_v make_v and_o create_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n the_o creation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v include_v and_o in_o this_o three_o verse_n he_o be_v speak_v of_o as_o the_o instrument_n of_o god_n in_o create_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o be_v here_o to_o be_v except_v as_o when_o john_n the_o baptist_n speak_v of_o christ_n john_n 3._o 32._o say_v what_o he_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v that_o he_o testify_v and_o no_o man_n receive_v his_o testimony_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o john_n be_v to_o be_v except_v person_n be_v
