from_o this_o question_n we_o take_v this_o opinion_n unsound_a and_o of_o less_o probability_n than_o the_o former_a the_o three_o be_v that_o tithe_n be_v due_a to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o

authority_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n take_v they_o away_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o impropriation_n this_o be_v the_o conclusion_n which_o we_o purpose_v here_o god_n willing_a to_o confirm_v first_o we_o will_v refute_v the_o two_o former_a opinion_n then_o open_a the_o story_n of_o tithe_n and_o confirm_v the_o point_n in_o question_n last_o we_o will_v answer_v objection_n the_o first_o opinion_n that_o tithe_n be_v alm_n imply_v also_o those_o several_a branch_n which_o bellarmine_n for_o enlarge_n refute_v controversy_n make_v several_a question_n or_o questionable_a error_n that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v pay_v to_o evil_a minister_n and_o that_o all_o minister_n must_v resolve_v to_o live_v in_o high_a poverty_n as_o it_o be_v term_v this_o opinion_n be_v thus_o overthrow_v by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o go_v to_o warfare_n at_o any_o time_n at_o his_o own_o cost_n who_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n and_o eat_v ●_o not_o of_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o or_o who_o feed_v a_o flock_n and_o eat_v not_o of_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o flock_n the_o reason_n stand_v thus_o if_o he_o that_o go_v to_o warfare_n may_v of_o duty_n challenge_v his_o wage_n of_o the_o people_n for_o who_o he_o fight_v or_o he_o that_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n may_v of_o duty_n challenge_v to_o eat_v thereof_o or_o he_o who_o feed_v a_o flock_n may_v of_o duty_n challenge_v to_o eat_v of_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o flock_n then_o the_o minister_n fight_v for_o the_o people_n against_o their_o spiritual_a adversary_n plant_v a_o vineyard_n among_o they_o feed_v a_o flock_n in_o feed_v they_o may_v challenge_v of_o duty_n his_o relief_n not_o beg_v it_o as_o alm_n but_o the_o first_o be_v true_a therefore_o the_o second_o out_o of_o which_o reason_n of_o the_o apostle_n draw_v from_o these_o example_n it_o appear_v far_o that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n the_o teacher_n be_v provide_v for_o because_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n he_o who_o go_v to_o warfare_n must_v be_v provide_v for_o by_o they_o who_o set_v he_o to_o that_o service_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n he_o who_o plant_v a_o vineyard_n eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n by_o the_o same_o law_n he_o who_o feed_v a_o flock_n eat_v of_o the_o milk_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o alm_n be_v also_o to_o be_v give_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o answer_v we_o must_v observe_v this_o distinction_n between_o alm_n and_o that_o thing_n for_o which_o the_o apostle_n here_o plead_v if_o alm_n be_v not_o give_v it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o charity_n but_o if_o this_o be_v deny_v of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v it_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o justice_n for_o as_o it_o be_v injustice_n to_o deny_v wage_n to_o he_o who_o you_o appoint_v to_o fight_v for_o you_o or_o to_o debar_v a_o man_n from_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o vineyard_n which_o he_o plant_v or_o to_o deny_v he_o the_o milk_n of_o a_o flock_n which_o he_o feed_v so_o be_v it_o in_o like_a manner_n injustice_n to_o deny_v the_o minister_n that_o maintenance_n for_o which_o the_o apostle_n plead_v now_o if_o it_o be_v injustice_n to_o deny_v the_o minister_n maintenance_n than_o he_o have_v a_o right_a and_o part_n in_o the_o good_n of_o those_o who_o he_o teach_v for_o justice_n give_v to_o every_o man_n his_o own_o and_o not_o one_o man_v right_a to_o another_o whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o minister_n have_v a_o part_n and_o right_n in_o their_o good_n who_o he_o teach_v now_o to_o take_v this_o be_v not_o to_o take_v alm_n but_o to_o take_v his_o own_o so_o then_o by_o this_o reason_n alm_n be_v assure_o overthrow_v because_o alm_n be_v not_o of_o duty_n and_o justice_n to_o be_v challenge_v as_o these_o thing_n be_v therefore_o the_o minister_n maintenance_n stand_v not_o by_o alm_n but_o by_o justice_n as_o the_o soldier_n wage_n stand_v not_o by_o alm_n but_o by_o justice_n as_o by_o justice_n not_o by_o alm_n a_o man_n may_v eat_v the_o fruit_n of_o a_o vineyard_n which_o he_o plant_v or_o of_o the_o milk_n of_o his_o flock_n the_o same_o be_v confirm_v by_o those_o word_n the_o labourer_n 8._o be_v worthy_a of_o his_o wage_n no_o man_n say_v the_o beggar_n be_v worthy_a of_o alm_n now_o he_o that_o say_v the_o labourer_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o wage_n say_v that_o of_o justice_n he_o may_v challenge_v it_o not_o beg_v it_o as_o alm_n for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v wage_n it_o be_v due_a by_o justice_n but_o no_o alm_n be_v due_a by_o justice_n for_o so_o shall_v we_o take_v away_o all_o difference_n between_o justice_n and_o charity_n therefore_o if_o alm_n no_o wage_n if_o wage_n no_o alm_n the_o second_o opinion_n faith_n not_o tithe_n but_o a_o competent_a refute_v maintenance_n be_v due_a by_o god_n law_n and_o this_o be_v urge_v to_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o apostle_n time_n the_o word_n be_v only_o alter_v otherwise_o this_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o former_a that_o say_v that_o tithe_n be_v mere_a alm_n for_o this_o opinion_n bring_v in_o with_o it_o these_o consequence_n first_o that_o tithe_n as_o tithe_n be_v alm_n for_o he_o that_o deny_v that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v pay_v of_o duty_n and_o justice_n prove_v they_o alm_n second_o that_o minister_n may_v not_o claim_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o god_n word_n and_o this_o also_o prove_v alm_n for_o he_o that_o say_v to_o his_o parishoner_v tithe_n i_o can_v claim_v and_o therefore_o no_o certain_a thing_n out_o of_o the_o word_n yet_o somewhat_o in_o conscience_n you_o shall_v contribute_v unto_o i_o what_o do_v he_o else_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o choice_n
