The last question may be this when shal ceremonies altogither end I answer whē the world is cōsumed the heauens earth analysed or more plainly ceremonies shal cease when Faith ceaseth Faith ceaseth when wee haue fully got the thing we faithed or beleeued for ceremonies bee but as a waggon for conuaiing faith to his iournies end Faith beeing the apprehension of things vnseene for I speake of the most excellent kind of faith when once they and wee come togither into full possession and that is not till wee attaine heauens glory then Faith stinteth Being come to the period or ful point it can reach no further nor hope that held the thing beleued and hoped for And in this respect it is that Charitie in the 1.

I answer it is vntrue to insinuate that Tenths were onely and first peculiar to Leui for tenths were giuen to the Priest Melchisedech when Le ui was in the loynes of Abraham Nor can it be imagined that the ancient Heathen did so de cimate to their Priestes but for that they had the example thereof traditionally frō the beginning of Sacrifice Secondly it followeth not tha because it was ceremo niall togither with sacrifice that therfore it must cease with sacrifice no more then because the Tabernacle Temple and ministers were ceremoniall therefore all ecclesiastique houses ministers are to be abolished but rather this looke what ceremoniall signification the Tenth might haue that ceaseth with Christ as the ceremoniall signification of the bullock Sheep goat did but not therfore the number of Ten nor the vse of Beasts abolished To vse them continueth but not to vse them so Some learned and reuerend do conclude that the Tenth is meerly morall and so alwayes a duty Of whome I desire leaue to interpose my opinion and the reason which howsoeuer not ●…e same yet it shall bee nothing behind that for the good of the ministry It seemeth vnto me that ●…ogither with the burial of the Iewish ceremony and policy there was a ceasement of decimations for the christiā chur ches then established wer often taught to cōtribute vnto their ministry but neuer to decimate wheras the apostle so often handling the argument by law a Pharise it were very strange he should omit the pressing of that which shold be ●…oral the nomber of tenth if not moral and I leaue that Thesis to bee maintained of thē which haue the strength I lack it then is to bee held Iud●…cial a nomber of maintenance iudiciallye held fitting of the maiestrate for the minister The primitiue churches at first were so zealous feruent in deuotion as they sold all gaue vp all to the ministers leauing the disposall thereof to their discretions But as finest flowers soonest vanish so that deuotion soone cooled And that may appeare in the Apo stles much pressing the Churches with the conscionable care they ought to haue of all due prouision for their ministry as hauing already lost their first loue in that matter if in that then also their first loue was lost to the holy religion For neuer was religion loued and the ministry neglected The Egiptian people wil witnes that in the prouision was made for their priests when all the peo ple generally were pinched and consumed of famine But me thinks I heare one say I like it wel that Tenths should be moral and so from God rather then from the Prince Dost thou so then speak out plainly what may be thy reason This if moral then as the minister is to haue no lesse seing God commaunds so much so hee is to haue no more seeing hee onelye commands the Tenth And I thought asmuch Thou likest it not simply but respectiuely that is in respect of auantage But stay it followeth not be cause God mediately o●… immediatly cōmandeth the tenth therefore hee commandeth no more For to Leui was commanded a tenth other things besides the tenth Not to presse the cities they had c. thou sha●…t find that of diu●…s things offered vnto the Lord a good moity came to the priest for the furnishing of his table as if the lord could not be serued and the minister vnprouided Nor hath the grace of god appearing by christ taught vs to Iessen our loue towardes his ministry but rather teacheth vs to honour him in honouring them with doble maintenance But ô base age we liue in men seeke honour in dishonoring the ministry but an honour that sticks to their houses mannors accordingly to the very gnawing consuming of their names and houses from the face of the earth Let them then that serue at the Altar liue honourably by the altar and that I am sure is morall so much briefly of Leuies maintenance The other particulars I must handle more briefly and so vnto Sacrifice Section 5.
