§. I.

ONce Melchisedec got Tithes: and this Once is obligato∣rie of the posteritie.]

Obiect. It was not so much as obligatorie in these same persons to doe the like; how then can it be obligatory of the posterity? Abra∣ham is not obliged heere, to pay any more Tithes at any time after; why then his posteritie, to pay, euer and yeerely?

Answ. Because (as is there said) Melchisedec and Abraham are Types heere of things euer to be performed vnder the Gos∣pell specially. And things daily to be done, haue in their Types but one representation; and yet that Once, is Euer, in their Ve∣rities: So we noted, that all things of this nature, are euer true in praesenti, in Christ; He Liueth, Blesseth, Intercedeth, Titheth, &c. But such typicall actions as must be daily repeated in the Types, and so, by one onely action of the Veritie, wiped away: there, pluralitie in the Types, argueth singularitie in the Veri∣tie: and so, are euer true in the Types (for their time) in praesen∣ti: but in the Verity, onely perpetuall in praeterito. As Aaron daily sacrificed, not, Christ daily sacrificeth: and so forth in the like. The diligent disgesting of what is there written, would (I thinke) answere all such doubts.
