Paulus Fagius assures me of the moderne Jewes, who have not been observed to be over-liberal, that they still observe the payment of the poor mans tithe, meerly out of design to inrich themselves by that means, and tells us of a Proverb of Rabbi Akiba, NONLATINALPHABET tithes are the hedges to our riches, and on the contrary, that there be seven kinds of judgements that come upon the world for seven prevarications, and the first is famine upon not tithing, and the second again, another kind of famine upon another not tithing, and that second plainly belongs to the poor mans tithing, when (as it followes) some are full, and others are famish'd, and the third is a plague upon not obeying the Law concerning the fruits of the Sabbatical year, which you know, were to be left to the poor, And again that there are four seasons, wherein the plague was wont to rage especially, in the fourth year upon the non payment of the poor mans tithe the third year, on the seventh, upon the like default in the sixth, in the end of the seventh, upon default concerning the seventh years fruits, that were to be free and common, and the last yearly, in the close of the feast of tabernacles, upon the robbing of the poor of those gifts that at that time were left unto them, the gleanings of the harvest, and vintage, the corners of the field, the fallings, &c. Adde to this one place more of Rabbi Bechai, Though, saith he, it be unlawful to prove or tempt the Lord, for a man must not say, I will performe such a commandment, to the end, I may prosper in riches, yet Mal. 3.10. and Prov. 3.10. |
Paulus Fagius assures me of the modern Jews, who have not been observed to be over-liberal, that they still observe the payment of the poor men tithe, merely out of Design to enrich themselves by that means, and tells us of a Proverb of Rabbi Akiba, Tithes Are the hedges to our riches, and on the contrary, that there be seven Kinds of Judgments that come upon the world for seven prevarications, and the First is famine upon not tithing, and the second again, Another kind of famine upon Another not tithing, and that second plainly belongs to the poor men tithing, when (as it follows) Some Are full, and Others Are famished, and the third is a plague upon not obeying the Law Concerning the fruits of the Sabbatical year, which you know, were to be left to the poor, And again that there Are four seasons, wherein the plague was wont to rage especially, in the fourth year upon the non payment of the poor men tithe the third year, on the seventh, upon the like default in the sixth, in the end of the seventh, upon default Concerning the seventh Years fruits, that were to be free and Common, and the last yearly, in the close of the feast of Tabernacles, upon the robbing of the poor of those Gifts that At that time were left unto them, the gleanings of the harvest, and vintage, the corners of the field, the fallings, etc. Add to this one place more of Rabbi Bechai, Though, Says he, it be unlawful to prove or tempt the Lord, for a man must not say, I will perform such a Commandment, to the end, I may prosper in riches, yet Malachi 3.10. and Curae 3.10. |
