Will a man rob God ? Yet ye have robbed me : But ye say , Wherein have we robbed thee ? In Tithes and Offerings . Ye are cursed with a curse , for ye have robbed me , even this whole Nation .
Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesars , and unto God the things that are his .

ye
were

ye
have
well
done

ye
did

Now
ye
know
also
,
that
in
the
beginning
of

,
when
I
departed
from
Macedonia
,
no
Churches
communicated
with
me
as
concerning
Giving
and
Receiving
,
but
ye
only
:
For
even
in

Ye
sent
once
and
again
to
my
necessity
.
Not
because
I
desire
a
gift
,
but
I
desire
fruit
that
may

I
have

William
Thorp
That
Tithes
were
given
in
the
old
Law
to
Levites
and
to
Priests
,
that
came
of
the
linage
of
Levi
;
but
our
Priests
come
not
of
the
linage
of
Levi
,
but
of
Juda
,
to
which
Juda
no
Tithes
were
promised
to
be
given
:
And
therefore
saith
,
since
the
Priesthood
is
changed
from
the
generation
of
Levi
to
Juda
,
its
necessary
that
changing
also
be
made
of
the
Law
:
So
that
Priests
must
live
now
without
Tithes
and
other
Dues
that
they
claim
,
following
Christ
and
his
Apostles
in
wilfull
poverty
,
as
they
have
given
them
example
.

Nicholas

It
is
subjoyned

that
Melchisedec

Tithes

Abraham

That

Lord
spake
unto

in

plain

,
by

near
Jericho
,
saying
;
command
the
Children
of
Israel
that
they
give
unto
the
Levites
of
the
Inheritances
of
their
possession
,
Cities
to
Dwell
in
;
and
ye
shall
give
also
unto
the
Levites
Suburbs
for
their
Cities
round
about
them
.
And
the
Cities
they
shall
have
to
Dwell
in
,
and
the
suburbs
of
them
,
shall
be
for
their
Cattel
,
and
for
their
Goods
,
and
for
all
their
Beasts
.
And
the
suburbs
of
the
Cities
which
ye
shall
give
unto
the
Levites
,
shall
reach
from
the
wall
of
the
City
and
outward
,
a
thousand
Cubits
round
about
.
And
ye
shall
measure
from
without
the
City
on
the
East
side
two
thousand
Cubits
,
and
on
the
South
side
two
thousand
Cubits
,
and
on
the
West
side
two
thousand
Cubits
,
and
on
the
North
side
two

,
and
the
City
shall
be
in
the
midst
;
this
shall
be
to
them
the
suburbs
of
the
Cities
.
And
among
the
Cities
which
ye
shall
give
unto
the
Levites
,
there
shall
be
six
Cities
for
refuge
,
which
ye
shall
appoint
for
the
Manslayer
,
that
he
may
fly
thither
;
and
to
them
ye
shall
adde
forty
and
two
Cities
.
So
all
the
Cities
which
ye
shall
give
to
the
Levites
shall
them
shall
ye
give
with
their
Suburbs
.
And
the
Cities
which
ye
shall
give
shall
be
of
the
poss●ssion
of
the
Children
of
Israel
:
from
them
that
have
many
,
ye
shall
give
many
;
and
from
them
that
have
few
,
ye
shall
give
few
:
Everyone
shall
give
according
to
his
inheritance
which
he
inheriteth
.
This
positive
just
command
of
God
Notwithstanding
the
Cities
of
the
Levites
,
and
the
Houses
of
the
Cities
of
their
possession
,
may
the
Levites
redeem
at
any
time
,
And
if
a
man
purchase
of
the
Levites
,
then
the
that
was
sold
and
the
of
his
possession
shall
go
out
in
the
year
of
Jubile
;
for
the
houses
of
the
Levites
are
their
possession
among
the
children
of
Israel
:
but
the
field
of
the
Suburbs
of

may
not

it
is

to

in

Now

The

were

to

out

For
the

left

came
to

;
for

and
his

and
he
ordained
him

for
the
High
Places
,
of
the

of

People
,
and
for
the
Devils
,
and
the

which
he
had
made
:
which

with

after

,
Hear

thou

Ought
ye
not

Lord
God
of

the

over
for

,
even
the
son
of
the
servant
of
the
Son
of

risen
up
,
and
hath
rebelled
against
his
Lord
.
And
there
are
gathered
unto
him
vain
men
,
the
children
of
and
have
strengthened
themselves
against
the
Son
of

young
and
tender-hearted
,
and
could
not

him
.
And
now
ye
think
to
withstand
the
Kingdom
of
the
Lord
,
in
the
hand
of
the
sons
of
and
ye
be
a

there
be

which
made
you

Have
ye
not

have
made
you
Priests

so
that

to

himself
,
with

Bullock

Rams
,
the

may
be
a

that

But
as
for

;
and
the

And

The

he

not
a
reward
,
but
honour
,
he
exacts
not
any
thing
of
thine
,
which
thou
shouldest
reserve
fund
:
He
vouchsafes
to
demand
,
only
the
First-fruits
,
and
Tithe
of

:
and
doest
thou
,
O
covetous
wretch
,
deny
him
?
What
wouldest
thou
doe
,
if
reserving
the
Nine
parts
to
himself
,
he
had
left
only
the
Tenth
to
thee
?
This
he
hath
already
done
,
when
as
thy
harvest
for
want
of
rain
,
mildew
,
and
thy
vintage
through
hayl
or
frost
is
diminished
into

Ninth
part

O

how
dost
thou
reckon

The
Nine
parts
are
withdrawn
from
thee
,
because
thou
wouldest
not
give
the
Tenth
.
It
is
most
apparent
,
that
thou
hast
not
given
them
;
but
yet
God
hath
exacted
them
.
For
this
is
the
most
just
custom
of
the
Lord
,
that
if
thou
wilt
not
give
the
Tenth
to
him
,
he
will
recall
the
Nine
,
and
leave
only
a
Tenth
part
to
thee
.
What
if
God
should
say
unto
thee
:
Man
is
mine
whom
I
have
made
;
the
earth
is
mine
which
thou
tillest
;
the
seeds
are
mine
which
thou
sowest
;
the
cattel
are
mine
which
thou
weariest
;
the
showrs
,
and
the
rain
,
and
the
gales
of
wind
are
mine
;
the
heat
of
the
Sun
is
also
mine
.
And
seeing
all
the
Elements
by
which
the
seed
,
fruits
do
live
and
grow
are
mine
,
and
thou
only
lendest
thy
hand
,
thou
deservest
only
a
Tenth
.
But
because
Almighty
God
feeds
,
deals
most
liberally
with
us
,
he
hath
given
a
most
ample
gift

reward
to
him
that

challenging

only

,
and
pardoning

I
conceived
the

why
they

for

,
were
now
so
eager
against
both

,

much
Crown
,
Bishops
,

,

Lands
charged
with
Tithes
,
that
now
out
of
mere
covetousness
they
would
pull
down
Tithes
,
to
hook
them
into
their
own
Purses
from
the
Ministers
,
and
though
they
were
never
purchased
by
them
in
their
particulars
to
improve
their
over
cheap
Purchases
,
to
the
highest
Advantage
;
and
because
others
should
not
blame
them
for
it
,
they
turned
Preachers
themselves
,
that
they
might
claim
some
seeming
Right
to
their
own
and
others
Tithes
,
and
save
the
charges
of
a
Minister

blessed
be

kept
me
this

from
coming
to

,
and
to
avenge
my self
with
my

hand
bound

into

Nebuchadnezzar

unto
Shadrac

Meshac
,

after
their
miraculous
preservation
in
the

Fornace
into

the
most
valiant

of

cast
them

by
his
unrighteous
Command
,
to
their
own
immediat
destruction
by
the
flame

without
the
least
hurt
to
them

Then
Nebuchadnezzar
spake
and
said
,
Blessed
be
the
God
of
Shadrac
,
Meshac
and
Abednego
,
who
hath
sent
his
Angel
,
and
delivered
his
Servants
that
trusted
in
him
,
and
have
changed
the
Kings
word
,
and
have
yielded
their
bodies
that
they
might
not
serve
nor
worship
any
God
except
their

God

He
that
rebuketh

afterwards
find
more

than
he

If
any
man
will
come
after
me
,
let
him
deny
himself
,
and
take
up
his
Crosse
and
follow
me
.
For
whosoever
will
Save
shall
seek
to
Save
his
life

Lose
it
and
whosoever
will
Lose
his
Life
for
my
sake
shall
find
it
.
For
what
is
a

profited
if
he
shall
gain
the
whole
World
and
Lose
his
own
Soul
?
Or
what
shall
a

give
in
exchange
for
his
Soul
?
