But cosider how greate a man this was, to whom the Patriarke Abraham gaue tithes of the spoyles.

But he whose kynred is not counted amoge them, receaued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promes.

And here men that dye, receaue tithes. But there he receaueth tithes, of whom it is witnessed that he lyueth.
