And without all contradiction the less is blessed by the better. And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is testified that he liveth. And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
