You may understand what is the mind and will of God under the New Testament, by reflecting upon what appeareth to you to have been his mind and will under the Old Testament: God had a ministry under the Old Testament, the tribe of Levi was it; and God there ordained and appointed a livelihood for them, Numbers 18:20 Deuteronomy 10:9, Deuteronomy 18:1, so as they needed not (as other men) to labour with their hands to get bread to eat.
