But now tilling of the ground is too base for Farmers Sons, and we must be finer, but take heed we be not so fine in this world, that God know us not in the world to come, but say unto us, I made thee a Husbandman, who made thee a Gentleman? I made thee a Tiller of the ground (a trade of life most antient and honest) who hath caused thee to forsake thy calling wherein I placed thee?

;;Time shall be utterly abolished, the naturall course of Sun and Stars ceasing, whereby years, weeks, months, and daies were distinguished. Rev. 10. 6. He swore that time should be no more, or no longer. Some translate for time, delay; and will have the meaning to be that there should be a small delay, no longe space of time, till the consummation of the mystery; and then it doth not signifie the abolition of time, after the consummation and end of all; but brevity or short space of time, untill the consummation come. This latter seemeth better to agree with the circumstances of the text.

To pay the tenth, Luk. 11. 42. or receive the …, Heb. 7. 5. 6.
Tithe]
Abraham gave him tithes of all, Gen. 14 20. Th. payment of tithes is ancienter then the … Law, and being paid … … a type of Christ, they are not abolished by the Gospel, but may be continued as an Evangelical revenue for the maintenance of those who exhibit Sacramental bread and wine (the materials of Melchisedec's benevolence) to the people, and blesse them in the name of the Lord, as Melchisedec did Abraham. Annot.
One of ten, saith the Chald. Paraphrast. This was a sign of homage and thankfulnesse to God; for as tribute is paid to Kings for their attendance to … affairs of the Commonwealth, Rom. 13. 6, 7. So Tithes in the Law are called …, and an heave offering to the Lord, Levit. 27. 30. Numb. 18. 24. and before the Law Jacob paid them to the Lord, Gen. 28. 22. and he appointed his tithes to the Priests, Numb 28. 8, 31 And … the tenth generation from Sem, … … to the Priest … (who is generally thought be …) the tenth of all. The Priests also and … of the …, who now was in … loynes, did in him pay tithes to …, wherefore his Priesthood was greater then theirs; Heb. 7. 9, 10, 11.
This service was also kept among the Heathens. Pisastratus tyrant at …, writeth to Solon thus; All the … do separate tithe of their fruits, not to be spent unto our use, but for publick sacrifices, and common profits, &c. Diog. Laert. in vit. Solonis. So among the Latines they were wont to pay tithes to their good Hercules, as Pompon. … de …. and Macrob. Saturn. lib. 3. cap. 12. affirm. Aynsw.
All the tithe of the Land, &c. Lev. 27. 30. There are two sorts of tithe in the Law; the first which (after the payment of the first fruits) was given to the Levites, Num. 18. 21. The second which (after the payment of the former tithe) was separated and carried up to Jerusalem, and there eaten by the Owners, Deut. 12. 6, 7, 11. & 14. 22. 23. which second tithe every third year was given to the poor, Deut. 14. 28. Idem.
Such as would be further informed of the things which in generall were titheable, of the severall kinds of them, and of the time when each sort began to be titheable, may have recourse to Goodwyn's Moses and Aaron, lib. 6. cap. 3. p. 274. &c. They also which scruple the lawfulnestle of them, may by perusing a Treatise of B. Carleton, entituled, Tithes examined and proved to be due, &c. a Treatise of R. …, entituled, The maintenance of the Ministery. Another of F. Robarts, entituled, The … of the Gospell is tithes. Another, The poor wicars plea for tithes. Another, The Countrey-mans Catechisme, or The Churches plea for Tithes; with severall others who have writ on this Subject, receive (if they will) abundant satisfaction.
To conclude, To pay, or give what God appoints is not the way to impoverish men, but to enrich them. The Hebrews have a very elegant Proverb to that Purpose, foreign that is, pay thy tithes that thou mayest be rich. The same word in the Hebr. (the different placing of one little prick over one of the letters makes all the difference) signifies to pay tithes and to … rich, which gave occasion to that Proverb. Annot. on Prov. 3. 10.
Tithes]
Heb. 7. 6. received tithes of Abraham, &c. If Abraham by paying Tithes, acknowledged Melchisedecs superiority; much more should all Abrahams off-spring acknowledge Christs superiority, whom … typically represented, by paying what is due for the maintenance of his service, &c. As receiving Tithes proves superiority in Office; so paying of Tithes, or maintenance in room of Tithes, proveth subjection to that Office, and Office-bearers who receive the sime; and so maintenance of Ministers should be a matter of honouring them: or rather of him that sent them, of its own proper institution; though men turn it into a beggerly stipend, and count the more basesly of the office, because of the manner of maintenance. Dickson. The ground for the payment of tithes of old were,
1. Because they were holy unto the Lord, Levit. 27. 30.
2. That the people might learn to fear the Lord their God alwaies, Deut. 14. 22. 23. and be blessed of him, Deut. 26. 12. … 15. Mal. 3. 10.
3. That the Priests and Levites might be maintained thereby, as is often expressed.
4. That the poor, strangers, fatherless, &c. might be relieved. Now (if in stead of the Priests and Levites which did serve at the Altar, we take in the Ministers of the Gospel, who preach the Gospel, for whom the Lord hath ordained, that they which preach the Gospell, should live of the Gospel, 1 Cor. 9. 14.) the same causes remaining. Tithes are even stil payable. Hyperius. Tithes are a tribute which people are bound to pay their Ministers for their work. Tithes are due to the Ministers of the Gospel, not of alms, or of benevolence, which the people may pay us if they will, but of justice, we have a right and interest to them; as the labourer hath to his …, the souldier to his stipend, &c. 1 Cor. 9. 7. &c.
As
1. Which were paid to Christ before the Law.
2. Are the Lords, Levit. 27. 30.
3. Were in the Law of Nature.
4. Were neither Judicial nor Ceremonial.
5. There is no proof in all the New Testament for any other ordinary maintenance of the Ministery.
6. After the times of persecution, they were resumed and established again in the Church.
7. The causes remaining, (as hath been shewed they do) the things themselves, (Tithes) do still remain. Jones, who largely handleth this subject.
Tithes]
;;The tenth part of our goods, Deut. 14. 28 Heb. 7. 8. Men that die receive tithes.
;;Tithes were a tenth part of all one had offered to God, and to his service, which Jacob vowed to doe, Gen. 28. 22. and Abraham paid to Melchisedec, Gen. 14. 20. Hereof some part at least were offered in Sacrifice, Numb. 18. 24. A shadow and figure, as other oblations were, figuring Christ. The equity is out of our goods to minister sufficiency to Pastors and poor, Gal. 6. 6. 1 Cor. 9. 11. Tithes (as firstfruits of Corn and Cattle) the sanctifying of the rest to their use, Deut. 26. 15. and secondly, a thankful remembrance of Gods benefits, Gen. 28. 22.
Tithes was paid unto God as a signe of homage and thankfulnesse unto him, Gen. 14. 20. & 28. 22. and when they were kept back from the Priests, God complained that he was robbed, Mal. 3. 8. The paying of them was an honouring of God, Prov. 3. 9. Hence the Apostle, Heb. 7. 7, 8. comp. with vers. 4. proveth the superiority of Melchisedec and his Priesthood above Abraham and the Priesthood of Levi, because Abraham and Levi in his … paid tithe unto him, as the lesser unto the greater.
The enemies of Tithes (or rather of the Ministery of the Gospel, denying all set maintenance for them) will be hardly put to it, to prove that ever God lost his superiority, or hath given it away, and that consequently homage is not still due unto God.
And seeing the Priesthood of Christ is greater then that of Aaron, and hath never yet resigned nor lost that superiority, it is unjust to deprive Christ of the signe of his superiority, in taking the tithe from the Ministers of the Gospel, who have as neer a relation unto Christ, as the Priest under the Law had unto God; comp. Mal. 3. 8. with Luk. 10. 6. & 2 Cor. 5. 18, 19, 20. and so much the more deserve a better maintenance, by how much more excellent their Ministery is then that of the Law.
It is an unjust thing to leave them to the meer benevolence of the people, alledging the practise of the Primitive Church; for their zeal and love to the Gospel was so hot, that they were ready to part with all they had for the maintenance of it. But the zeal of these latter dayes (if any at all) is so cold, that most men will not part with a nutshel unto the Ministers of Christ, for all their pains and labour, but what they are forced unto.
Title]
2 King. 23. 17. There was some Gravestone, and a superscription upon it, or else a pillar by the sepulchre of the man of God, such a one as Jacob set upon Rachels grave, Gen. 35. 20. wherein the story of that man of God was engraven. See 1 King. 13. 30, 31. Annot.
Pilate wrote a title, Joh. 19. 19. It was the fashion of the Ancients to signifie to the Publick, the cause of any Delinquents sufferings either by the voyce of a Cryer, or by setting it up written in Capitall letters. Annot.
Neither let me give flattering titles, Job 32. 21. He would not flatter Job nor them with high titles, though they were ancienter then he, but would carry the businesse by meer strength of argument, not by oratoricall and rhetoricall insinuations. Annot. See Inscription.
Tittle]
The Greek word foreign, signifieth properly, a line bent crooked, or the top of a horn. So that Mat. 5. 18. & Luk. 16. 17. where it is used, is signifieth the bending or bowing that is in the top of some Hebrew letters: Or, according to some by tittle is meant the Hebrew vowels, the meaning is, that not so much as the least part of a letter of the Law should perish; which is not to be properly taken, for it hath been, and may be that some of the Hebrew letters in the Old Testament should be changed, as may appear by the divers readings in sundry Copies, for that may be without the losse of any sentence; but his meaning is, that not the least parcell or sentence of the Law shall passe away, making parts in the Law, to be like tittles in the Alphabet.
