TYTHES OFFERINGS AND FIRST-FRUITS Commanded by the Law in the Old Testament IS NOT GOSPEL Neither before the Law nor after AND ALSO Circumcision and Oathes and Swearing and the Sabbath-days commanded by the Law in the old time in the Old Testament is not Gospel neither before the Law nor since in the glorious Gospel-day of Christ And also the trial of the Ministers and Teachers who are they that Plant Vineyards and Plow and Thresh in hope and keep a Flock and Minister holy or spiritual things c. as the Apostles did in their days By George Fox Christ hath blotted out the hand writing of Ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us and took it out of the way nailing it to the Cross Colos 2.14 And behold at Evening-tide trouble and before the Morning he is not this is the Portion of them that spoil us and the Lot of them that rob us Isa 17.14 London Printed for Benjamin Clark in George-Yard in Lombard-street 1683. TYTHES OFFERINGS AND FIRST-FRUITS NO Gospel-Commands Although Commanded by the LAW IN THE OLD TESTAMENT CHrist hath blotted out the hand-writing of Ordinances contained in the Law that was against us and contrary to us and hath taken them out of the way and nailed them to his Cross and hath not he spoiled the rule and authority and power that held them up And he hath made a shew of them openly triumphing over them in his own person having abolished in his Flesh the Enmity even the Law of Comandments contained in Ordinances for to make in himself of twain one new man so making Peace Now what was this Law and Commandments and Ordinances were they not Tythes Offerings and the outward Altars and Tabernacles and outward Circumcision and the outward things contained in the Law and the outward Priests with their Garments and Services with all the outward Signs Figures and Shadows which Christ has abolished blotted out and nailed to his Cross And all their Jewish Ceremonies with outward washing and sprinkling and all their observing their Meats Feasts and Sabbath-days and Oaths and Swearing hath not Christ abolished all these things and nailed them to his Cross and triumphed over them and changed the Priesthood and the Law by which it was made and disannulled the Commandments that gave the Priest his Tythes who was made a Priest after the Law of a carnal Commandment but Christ is made a Priest after the power of an endless Life Now as for them that say Abraham gave Tythes the tenth of all the spoil that he had gotten in the Wars to Melchisedeck King of Salem but that 's no proof nor example that Kings and Governours and Captains that did conquer their Enemies did give the Tenths c. And the Sons of Levi who received the Office of the Priesthood had a Commandment according to the Law to take Tythes of the People that is of their Brethren but the Apostle saith Levi who received Tythes paid Tythes in Abraham when he was yet in the Loins of his Father Abraham when Melchisedeck met him so it was Levi that paid them in Abraham and the Gospel was Preached to Abraham by the Lord saying In thee shall all the Families of the Earth be blessed before Abraham was either Circumcised or Levi paid Tythes in Abraham I say again the Gospel was Preached to Abraham and the Promise was to Abraham before either he was Circumcised or before he went to offer his Son Isaac or Levi paid Tythes in Abraham saying In thy Seed shall all the Families of the Earth be blessed And how was Faith reckoned to Abraham for Righteousness when he was in Circumcision or un-circumcision not when he was Circumcised but before he was Circumcised not when Levi paid Tythes in Abraham but before Levi paid Tythes in Abraham for the Promise that he should be Heir of the World was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law but through the Righteousness of Faith and this was before either Abraham was Circumcised or Levi paid Tythes in Abraham and now the Levitical Priest-hood is changed and the Law by which he was made and the Commandments disannulled that gave him his Tythes and Christ hath blotted out the Law and Hand writing of Ordinances c. and Nailed them to his Cross and triumphed over them and therefore if you be circumcised Christ profits you nothing so the Gospel and Faith was preached to Abraham before either Tythes or Circumcision was and Christ he came not after the order of Levi or Aaron but after the order of Melchisedeck and of the Tribe of Judah And it was the Sons of Levi that were commanded to take Tythes it doth not say the Sons of the Tribe of Judah of which Christ came hat were commanded to take Tythes but the Levitical Priest-hood is Changed and the law by which the Priest-hood was made and the Commandment disannulled by Christ our high-Priest who is made higher than the Heavens and we who are of Faith and in the Gospel we are not under the law of Tythes Offerings and outward Circumcision c. but we are under grace that teaches us c. and brings us Salvation and as the Apostle saith Wherefore my Brethren we also are become dead to the Law by the body of Christ that you should be married to another even to Christ whom God hath raised from the Dead for Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness sake to every one that believes for Moses describeth the Righteousness which is of the Law that a man which doth these things shall live by them but the Righteousness which is of Faith speaketh on this wise Say not in thy heart who shall ascend into Heaven that is to bring Christ from above or who shall desend into the deep that is to bring up Christ from the Dead but what saith it the word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart and this is the word of Faith which we preach that if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shall believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the Dead thou shalt be saved for with the heart man believeth unto Righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation for as many as are under the work of the Law are under the curse For if the inheritance had been of the law it is no more of promises but God gave it to Abraham by promises before the law and are not Tythes the work of the law seeing the Apostle saith As many as are under the law are under the curse but Christ hath redeemed us from under the curse of the law being made a curse for us so that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God it is evident for the just shall live by Faith in the Faith which Abraham lived in before he was Circumcised and Levi paid Tythes in Abraham and the Apostle said God hath made them able Ministers of the
