A. Hierome vpon Ezechiel cap. 5. & 40. Affirmeth that there were some tythes which the people did owe to the Leuites. Againe, there were other tythes which the Leuites, that is, the inferiour order of mi∣nisters, out of their tythes, did owe to the Priests, also there were other tythes which euery one of the people put a part in their barnes, appointed to be eate by the Priests, Leuites and people together, in the en∣trance
of the Temple; moreouer there were other tythes which were laide vp for the poore, but Vincentius in spec. moral. lib. 1. distinct. 66. Maketh mention onely of three sorts of tythes, vsed in the old Law: the one sort were these which were paide to the Leuites, spoken off Numb. 18. 24. The other sort were these which were publikely eaten in the Temple, mentioned Deut. 14. 23. The third sort were these which were laide vp at the end of euery three yeares, for the poore & strangers, spoken of Deut. 14. 28. Of these three sorts of tythes, the first onely remaineth amongst Christians, the second sort which were publikely eaten and sacrificed, are abolished, being a meere ceremonie, the third sort also for the pro∣portion is taken away, for wee are not bound to giue the tythes of our goods to the poore, but to releeue them according to our abilitie, and giue them such as wee haue. Luk. 11. 41.
