in the beginning the word of life that you might have fellowship with the Father and the Son and with us And who are in this are out of ninths and tenths both in which all figures ends types and shadowes ends and by which word all inventions of men are thrown down And so taking away tythes is but robbing as they call it the Popes Church the false Church which set them up but not according to the Law of God which was not according to the Law of God nor Gospel and have not given them according to the Law of God had they done it there had not been a begger in Christendome for the Law made that provision but the Gospel is above the Law which redeemes people out of the ninths opens the heart of people So they are pitiful poor and silly that are talking of the tenths in this the day of the Gospel the Lambs power and his marriage and the comming up of the true Church out of the Wildernesse judging the false Church and great whore which is got up since the dayes of the Apostles which hath fulfilled Christs words and Christs words must be fulfilled as in Mat. 24. who saith every tree that bears not fruit must be hewen down and cast into the fire which scripture is fulfilling to destroy the false Prophets and yet save the creature who wrestleth with the power of darknesse and spiritual wickednesses and not with flesh and blood such have spiritual weapons but they that ravened from the spirit of God lost the spiritual weapons and so got Caines which hath guarded the great whore which has killed the Saints with Caines weapons Cain killed Abel and built a City and so who ever comes into this great City where nin●●● and tenths and inwardly raveners are false Prophets great whore the false Church old Mass-houses they must look to have their flesh and blood wrestled against where the dragons flag and the whores golden cup is holden forth Now look over whole Christendom you may see what hath got up since the dayes of the Apostles and what a fenced City here hath been and how it is fenced and how the blood of the Martyrs hath been drunk in it which keeps the Commands of God and the Testimony of Jesus which hath the Spiritual weapons and how many this great Whore hath put to death by her weapons this false church the Lord open your understandings that you may see to the dayes of the Apostles who said that the ages should come that God would shew forth the exceeding Riches that was among them as you may read in the Ephesians the second chapter And these ages are come so here is a distinction betwixt the Ministers of the Spirit and the ministers of the great Whore which ravened inwardly from the Spirit of God which hath had the sheeps cloathing which beast and great Whore hath been in the Dragons power killing and murthering which City hath been filled with violence and blood But the power of God over all this is gone over all this is felt to the dayes of the Apostles what state they were in and what state hath been since with that we see to the beginning with the Word of God which was in the beginning Doctor page the seventh Thou sayest thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the Ox that treadeath out the Corn. Answer We say so where he gets out Corn not to muzzle his mouth but let not the Ox eat where he doth not tread out the Corn let him not transgress all this is nothing to Tithes for we do not read that the children of Israel the Priests was to take Tithes of any but of the children of Israel not of the Gentiles we do not read that Christ set up a Law or the Apostles that they should take the Tenths of the Gentiles but man being drove from God into the earth A Virgin shall bare a Child which by interpretation is Immanuel God with us and I will give him for a light to the Gentiles and for a new Covenant to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah and many of the prisoners have shewed themselves forth man drove from God man brought to God again Doctor Let him that is taught in the Word communicate to him that teacheth in all good things Gal. the sixth chapter Answ We say yes let him that is taught do it but he doth not say he that is not taught Therefore this condemns all the Priests since the dayes of the Apostles who would have from them they do not teach contrary to the Rule of Scripture and Doctrine of the Apostles and cast into Prison those they do not teach these serve not the Lord Jesus Christ but their own bellies and teach for filthy lucre which they ought not who would have all good things communicated to them from them they do not teach So he that is taught in the Word communicates to him that teacheth in all good things Mark this just Rule He that is taught he that teacheth so every one maintain his own Minister that will have one And be not deceived God is not mocked for that which you sow that you shall reap sow to the flesh you shall reap corruption sow to the Spirit life Eternal and they that are inwardly ravened cannot sow to the Spirit but sows to the flesh Therefore you may look in whole Christendom what a Field of corruption there is to be Reaped and what unreasonable Ministers there is that will bring this Scripture and say That he that is taught in the Word let him Communicate to him that teacheth in all good things when they never taught him hath not taught him in the Word yet will have good things Communicated to him whether these be not unreasonable wolves in sheeps cloathing who will take treble Tithes of him and hale him before Courts if it be a hundred or two hundred miles and then cast him into Prison and then bring people the Scriptures for a Cloak and denying the light within which they should fee withal So such are transgressors of the Doctrine of the Apostles which takes of them which they have not taught in the Word neither do they preach the Word which was in the beginning which ends the Priests that had the Tenths and wresteth the Scriptures and this is nothing to Tenths and no where Tithes is Commanded in the New Testament but onely as Christ said ye ought to do it before he was offered up but when he was Sacrificed up it was finished and the Priesthood that took them the Law and Command they Triumphed over them And Ananias and Saphirah makes nothing for Tithes and Christ being hungry they fed him c. And Christ sent forth his Disciples without Bag But what did Judas Bag signifie That Steward that Betrayer Are not all such as invented Tithes and so greedy after the Bag of the substance of Judas that will cast into Prison and betray the innocent in

inwardly ravened that went from the Apostles into the World which now by the power of the Lord God are comprehended and fathomed So Tithes to Melchizedeck in the time of the War and Tithes in the time of the Law and all the Tithes of the land was the Lords and he would make the Tenths of the earth give the Priests Levites Strangers Widows and Fatherless enough and fill them that there should not be a Begger among them and the Ninths would give the other enough and those were offered up according to the Principle of God in people which answered the Law of God and the Commandment that commanded them Now Tithes since the dayes of the Apostles set up by them that went from them inwardly ravened hath been invented and not set up by the principle of God within So here is Priests and Impropriators Kings of the earth and Pope hath got them and Widows and Strangers and Fatherless starving abroad and yet these Priests will be called Ministers of the Gospel that takes Tenths and keeps people in the Ninths which they have invented and their mother the great Whore the false church and calls them a Gospel maintenance which are not like unto the Apostles but contrary to the Law and Gospel both and all people are nor blind that they cannot see For the tenths was offered up in the time of the war and law but the ninths comes to be offered up in the end of the war and law and types figures and shadowes by such as comes to the Kingdom of God for they that preach the Kingdom of God and the Gospel doth not take the tenths of the earth and this is but a touch of what might be spoken concerning these things And so Tythes is not the Ministers of the Gospels homage as thou Dr. saith in thy ninth page for Tythes is not the Ministers of the Gospels homage who brought people out of the ninths but it was the first Priest-hoods which Christ the second came to end and redeems out of the ninths up to God out of the earth for ninths and tenths hath been since man was drove from God into the earth but the tenths has bin the Popes homage and held up by his lawes in the whole Christendom provision for his Church since the dayes of the Apostles that the true Church went into the Wilderness and his Ministers and the inheritance that he hath given to his Teachers that hath got the Sheeps cloathing that went forth from the Apostles inwardly ravened and set up first by his law and persecute people if they would not give them and put them into prison till death and hale them before Courts which is not the work of the Ministers of the Gospel as thou may read in the Acts and Epistles And thou sayest in the same page that to imploy Tythes to any other use then to maintain Ministers of the Gospel is sacriledge for they are due by God and holy to himself so to give them to any other then Ministers of the Gospel or to such as set Ministers to preach because they are fick themselves and cannot preach it is sacriledge to put them to any other use So then thou hast made all the impropriators robbers and the Pope and all the chief Magistrates and Kings that take the tenths robbers and the great men that takes the Tythes robbers now I say they have no more due to them then the Ministers nor they then them but is quite contrary to the Ministery of the Gospel to keep people in the ninths that they might have the tenths and having no store-house for them that all the strangers fatherless and widowes might be filled as well as the Priests Deut. 14 and Mal. 3. But if you had store-houses and did fill all the Fatherlesse and widowes in the whole Christendome yet we which are Ministers of the Gospel must deny you and the first Priest-hood that took them we that are one with the Apostles that brings people out of the ninths that they may be redeemed out of the earth up to God for since men was drove into the earth from God was tenths set up by the command of God which Christ the Saviour of the World redeemes up to God again out of the earth for tenths was a figure in the time of the law and Christ who was made under the law redeemes from under the law ends the law and the figures and the war and brings people to reign upon the earth and such be elect before the World was made of his Church of his body he is the head Now Tythes which been invented by the inwardly raveners that went out from the Apostles by the beast false Prophets and false Church since the true Church went into the Wildernesse and since the true Ministers hath been slain by the Beast and their blood drunk by the whore and so deceit spread over all nations and as the Apostles was to go with truth into all Nation so the beast false Prophets and great whore and old dragon taken and cast into the lake of fire and their flesh burnt and the everlasting Gospel shall go forth again to all nations tongues and people to all that dwell upon the earth and so truth shall spread it self over again So mind these three states and what age you are in that you may decern the time and seasons which be in the Fathers hand how that people shall come out of the ninths and tenths which has been invented by them that were inwardly raveners that went forth from the Apostles and how that people are comming to that which they ravened from whereby the power of God the Gospel is felt and life and immortality is come to light and the thirst is risen among people who shall have the waters of life freely and the marriage of the Lamb the Church is known again the manchild is brought forth to rule all nations with a rod of Iron for they have been waters and tongues and multitudes and that which has been called the original among the inwardly raveners the tongues but not called so by John nor any of the Apostles For all the earth was of one language before Babel and Pilate set the languages over Christ and Luke doth not call that the original for Pilate did not know the Scripture and the Beast and the whore hath been upon the tongues which hath killed the Saints and John in the Revevelations did not call that the Original for John saw well that tongues were waters But they had the Original which was killed by the beast and the whore and this hath been the language since the beast whore and dragon hath reigned and the true Church hath been in the Wildernesse and the true Ministers killed but I shall tell you in the beginning was the word before beast false Prophets dragon great whore Pilate and Babylon was and Abides when they all end when they are not so that I declare unto you that which was
