that end be of extraordinarie liberalitie towards them or keepe as we say open house for them But as touching this point it cannot be denied but that the writers do somthing varie For som think that this was another tenth besides the ordinarie tenth of the yeer others that it was no other tenth that heer is spoken of but the ordinarie tenth of the yeer but that it should be this yeer bestowed not only on the Levites but also on al the poore generally Howbeit I take it that neither of those senses can wel stand with other parts of the scripture heerunto belonging and that they are not charged but with protestation of sincere righteous dealing in those matters and not to lay out any other tenth nor to bestow that tenth on others than otherwise by law they ought but only to have more special care of the poore and of their own to be more liberal to them Whence this third yeer is to be rekoned And it is to be noted that this third yeer was not everie third yeer but the third from the seventh yeers rest and so fel no oftener indeed but only everie seventh yeer And therin may we see the wisdom and goodnes of God that appointed them to make that protestation and to have a special care of the poore at such a time as was the easiest for them being even in the midst of their plentie when they might most easily amend what defaults they had before made in paiment of their duties if any such were and with lesse hurt to themselves be liberal to others And seeing that b Deut. 15 9. God doth in any wise forbid to have the lesse care on the poore when at any time the seventh yeer approcheth much more are they charged to be careful of them when as it is furthest of from them The seventh yeer The solemnitie of the seventh yeer rested in three special points Wherof the first was that c Exod. 23 10 11. Lev. 25 1-7 20-22 they should that yeer let their ground rest and neither sow nor plant theron neither yet reap or take to themselves that which it yeelded forth of it selfe but that it should that yeer be common and serve to the use of the poorer sort and to releeve the beasts and cattel of the feeld The second was d Deu. 15 1-6 that no man might trouble or su his brother for debt but that for that yeer he had to surcease from al such actions that so poore creditors might togither have rest with the land and so more easily pay it after But yet was it lawful to exact the same of strangers that observed not the law of God and so had their sabbaths in derision And to the end that they might be in this case more favorable to their poore brethren the Lord doth promise that his blessing shal besuch towards them that so doing they shal find no want The third and last was that c Dent. 31 10-13 everie seventh yeer al the people men women and children and those strangers that dwelt among them should at the feast of tabernacles resort to the place that the Lord had appointed and thereshould have the law read unto them to the end that they al might know it and keep it And so it seemeth to be meant of this seventh yeer that in another place f Deu. 16 14. there is mention of bringing their daughters and maidens to the feast of tabernacles wheras g Exo. 23 17. otherwise but only the males were required The fiftith yeer The solemnitie of the fiftith yeer was much greater For first of al that none should be deceived in their rekoning it h Lev. 25 8 9. was to be proclaimed openly in al quarters of the land and on the day of reconciliation in the 49. yeer going before So that wheras i Lev. 23.27 they had that day to afflict themselves every yeer yet in the 49. yeer on the selfesame day came there to al this special news of joy and gladnes In it k Lev. 25 11 12. the land should rest as in the seventh yeer And bicause it might be dowted how they shuld live when the seventh and the fiftith concur togither l Le. 25 20-22 he answereth that God wilso blesse the sixt yeer with increase that they shal live therof til new com again But besides this which it had common with the seventh yeer there were two other special praerogatives to it belonging One m Lev. 25 10 was that freedom must be proclaimed and granted to al the other that n Lev. 25 13. everie one had free accesse unto his ancient inhaeritance again Which benefits were to be enjoied not only for that yeer but for the time that should afterward follow unles themselves by som new act or deed of theirs should com in bondage or make away the possessions they had 42 Concerning the sacrifices themselves further to help the hardnes therof it shal be good first to say somwhat generally Of the sacrifices themselves and then to enter into the several nature of everie one Which in my judgement may best be done if we shal sort them al to be one of these two either ordinarie or extraordinarie The ordinarie sacrifice principally is that which is called the daily sacrifice which being once set before our eies wil give unto us such a general knowledge of the nature and form of a sacrifice that when we com to the rest we shal not need but to discourse of their several natures wherin they varie from the other Those also may we account ordinarie The ordinarie sacrifice which by the law of God the preests were bound ordinarily to offer at their times appointed without any other occasion given as request of others or whatsoever els Of this sort were divers but the first and principal was that which was called the dailie sacrifice Which was a Exod. 29 38-42 Num. 28 1-8 that everie morning and everie evening the preest should take a lamb of a yeer old without spot and praesent it before the Lord then should he kil and dresse it and lay it on the altar and there burn it unto the Lord. Wherunto they must also ad b Exo. 29 40. a certain quantitie of flower oil and wine of flower a tenth part which was an Omer which of our measure was about a pottle of oil and wine a like quantitie which was of either of them the fourth part of an Hin which of our measure was about a pint Last of al to the latter part of this sacrifice that is to the flower oil and wine which also is called c Lev. 2 1.

Deut. 18 3. certain portions of the beast sacrificed The third consisted in that the people were bound to bring unto the Lord which the preests by his appointment were to have the first of al that it pleased God to blesse them withal Wherof there were two sorts one of e Num. 18 15-18 Le. 27. living creatures as they fel both man and beast yet in such sort that both men-children and the increase of unclean beasts should by a certain price be redeemed the other of the f Num. 18 12 13. Deu. 18 4. fruits that the land every yeer doth yeeld which at a certain time and before they tooke therof to their own use they should bring to the preests as after followeth Their extraordinarie avails I term those fees that were du unto them out of the vowes that the people would oft times extraordinarily make of their own accord Which were somtimes of som kind of oblation g Lev. 27 11-22 Nu. 18 14. and somtimes of som other blessings that God had given them h Le. 27 1-8 somtimes likewise of themselves or their children Out of which lightly i Nu. 18 8.

Par. 5 1. was put from his birth-right being the eldest and Ioseph and Iudah taken into his room That which concerneth the maner of their hold towards God is only that law that was of a certain e De. 26 1-10 homage that every yeer they were commanded to do unto the Lord for such lands as they held of him Which was nothing els but to bring of their first fruits unto the Lord and there to confesse that God had praeserved their fathers and them from time to time and been marvelous gracious unto them that he had given them that good land as before he promised that they did now injoy the same and therfore brought of the fruits therof unto him A notable tenure and such as disgraceth many of ours that were notwithstanding devised and appointed by notable men as then they were taken Wherunto may be added that f Ex. 23 10 11 Lev. 25 1-11 every seventh yeer and in the Iubile they should suffer their land to rest so to teach them to moderate their affections on that behalfe to depend on the providence of God and not utterly to wear out the soil that was given them That which concerneth the maner of their hold towards men was that they might have it several and yet not so but that the poore and generally al might somtimes have som use therof That they might have it several it appeereth both by the partition that before is spoken of and in this also that g Exod. 22 6. if any should with his cattel eate up or otherwise hurt his neighbors feelds he should make good the same again with the best of his own That the poore and others generally might notwithstanding have som use therof it appeereth in this that so oft as the land should rest without any husbandry bestowed on it h Exo. 23 11.

much as to have in their mouths the b Exo. 23 13. Iosuah 23 7. Psal 16 5. names of any others or to let them be heard out of their lips And bicause the greatest danger was either in those that were worshipped in Aegypt where the children of Israel had sojourned so long or in those that were worshipped of the Canaanites and other nations among whom now they should dwel the one for education sake the other for policie therfore c Lev. 18 2 3. De. 12 30 31. had they a special warning given to take heed of the gods of those countries and therwithal were streightly charged d Exo. 23 24. Deu. 7 5 25. 12 2 3. to break down the idols or pictures of them to overthrow their altars to cut down their groves and to let no monument of them to remain To this end especially it did appertain that the Lord did ordain certain servises among them that should properly serve to confirm them in that point that is that he only is the Lord that they were his tenants and held of them whatsoever they had Of this sort there were especially three that yeelding to him of their first born or of their first fruits and of their tithes For although there was another end of these ordinances that is that the ministerie and such as served at the altar should live therby yet to this end also were they ordeined to witnes the soveraigntie that the Lord had over them The law of the first-born was this e Exod. 13 2 11-16 22 28.34 19. Num. 18 15. Whatsoever male did first open the womb whether it was of man or beast or as we say was first of al born or bred that same did the Lord challenge to be his and ordeined the same to be an ordinance among them but not al after one maner For f Exo. 13 13. 34 20. Nu. 18 15 16. if it were the first born of man it was to be redeemed and the price was five sicles of the sanctuarie or five score Gerahs which is al one amounting to as it is said about sixteen shillings and eight pence of our coin though by the weight of the Gerah which g Ioan. Brentius in Exod. 30 13. And Annot. on the B. Bible upon Num. 3 47. 18 16. is said to be the weight of sixteen barly corns I cannot find that 20. Gerahs which is the sicle of the sanctuarie double to the other sicle that is common do weigh any more than two shillings and four pence of our coin after the rate of five shillings the ounce And then is the sicle of the sanctuarie but two shillings and four pence and five sicles but eleven shillings eight pence h Exo. 13 12. 22 29. 34 19.

Num. 18 15. If it were of an unclean beast as of an asse that also was the Lords but it was to be redeemed with a lamb Nevertheles the party was not bound to redeem it as he was to redeem his first-born son but if he would not be at the cost to redeem it then must he cut off the head therof and was so discharged So likewise the first-born of a clean beast if it had any deformitie or blemish then although in that case also it was the Lords yet k Deu. 15 21-23 were they discharged for bringing it unto the sanctuarie or temple of the Lord there to make merrie or feast therwithal before him as l Deu. 15 19 20. they were bound to do with such as were without blemish and were willed to eat it at hom and to hold feast therwithal unto the Lord in their own houses This chalenge that the Lord did make to the first-born exempting them to his own proper use had also a special sense that was proper to it selfe besides those two before recited that are common to both the others For this was ordeined to this use also m Exo. 13 14-16 that it might keep in fresh remembrance that notable benefit which the children of Israel received of the Lord a little before their departure out of Aegypt that is that when the Lord destroied the first-born of Aegypt nevertheles he spared the first-born of al his people As also the Lord did n Num. 3 6 12 13 40-51 8 16-19 afterward use it to quiet the people in deducting the whole tribe of Levie out from among them to the use of the ministerie taking them and a certain fine by pole of the overplus for al the first-born that then were Of which to discourse more fully there is afterward offered better occasion Vnto our selves out of this law this lesson may we take that seeing God is as gratious to us we also ought to praesent him with the best that we have and for to abandon those miserly practises that commonly we use to shift him off with the very woorst that we are able to pik out of the rest The offering of the first of their fruits that out of the increase of the earth did arise unto them was o Exo. 22 28. 23 19. 34 26.

And to the end that they might do it more effectually ſ De. 26 1-11 he teacheth them also when they com to bring him that pręsent to acknowledge in plain words that it was the Lord and he alone that gave unto them that good land and that by his goodnes they now had the same in quiet and peaceable possession As indeed the goodnes of God is such that it deserveth to be acknowledged and of such things as he giveth to have such portion as he requireth especially being so smal as it is even at the first and not to tarrie til we our selves after the proportion of our greedie appetite shal be glutted to our own desire What the law of tithes was is before declared Now I do but admonish that it is one of the ordinances wherby God would continually witnes unto them that he was the Lord and they his tenants Which
