offend_v at_o tithe_n because_o tithe_n be_v no_o man_n own_o but_o the_o minister_n many_o hundred_o year_n since_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n not_o the_o pope_n as_o learned_a parnel_n say_v in_o his_o book_n do_v set_v apart_o the_o tithe_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ministry_n and_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n be_v but_o the_o feoffee_n in_o trust_n to_o see_v that_o what_o the_o people_n of_o england_n in_o their_o representative_a with_o the_o king_n and_o house_n of_o lord_n have_v give_v to_o the_o ministry_n be_v due_o pay_v they_o let_v this_o convince_v you_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v sober_a that_o tithe_n be_v no_o man_n own_o but_o the_o minister_n for_o let_v a_o man_n be_v to_o hire_v a_o farm_n his_o landlord_n can_v let_v he_o a_o farm_n that_o shall_v

he_o not_o raise_v the_o price_n in_o the_o sale_n of_o it_o according_o so_o will_v not_o landlord_n let_v their_o farm_n according_o if_o they_o can_v let_v they_o tithe-free_a the_o tenant_n shall_v soon_o find_v it_o but_o neither_o the_o landlord_n nor_o tenant_n do_v look_v upon_o the_o tithe_n as_o they_o but_o the_o minister_n whence_o man_n let_v hire_n buy_v sell_v land_n as_o still_o look_v upon_o they_o to_o pay_v tithe_n and_o so_o none_o of_o all_o these_o be_v wrong_v at_o all_o whence_o tithe_n be_v as_o due_o our_o own_o as_o any_o man_n estate_n be_v he_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o when_o people_n deny_v our_o due_n we_o go_v to_o the_o supreme_a magistrate_n who_o as_o i_o say_v be_v the_o feoffee_n in_o trust_n in_o his_o officer_n and_o court_n to_o help_v we_o to_o our_o due_n as_o any_o other_o man_n wrong_v go_v for_o right_a to_o any_o court_n whence_o it_o be_v evident_a it_o be_v mere_a blindness_n if_o not_o madness_n which_o make_v people_n talk_v thus_o against_o minister_n take_v of_o tithe_n for_o we_o take_v only_o what_o be_v our_o own_o and_o no_o man_n else_o as_o for_o land_n so_o for_o house_n we_o observe_v the_o long_a parliament_n make_v two_o act_n it_o may_v be_v more_o that_o i_o know_v not_o of_o one_o for_o bristol_n another_o for_o colchester_n that_o according_a to_o the_o rent_n of_o house_n so_o man_n shall_v pay_v not_o exceed_v a_o certain_a sum_n a_o very_a little_a one_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o know_v wicked_a spirit_n rail_v at_o the_o magistracy_n for_o do_v this_o but_o herein_o the_o parliament_n do_v what_o be_v equal_a and_o just_a before_o god_n and_o man_n for_o as_o i_o say_v in_o my_o first_o if_o the_o magistrate_n be_v bind_v to_o take_v care_n that_o the_o people_n under_o he_o do_v lead_v a_o life_n in_o all_o godliness_n etc._n etc._n which_o comprehend_v the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o law_n than_o the_o magistrate_n must_v set_v up_o able_a man_n no_o

that_o as_o become_v their_o place_n sure_o the_o magistrate_n who_o have_v power_n to_o raise_v a_o tax_n when_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonwealth_n require_v it_o have_v as_o much_o power_n to_o

it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o he_o i_o think_v such_o devilish_a principle_n deserve_v not_o a_o answer_n yet_o they_o be_v answer_v though_o such_o own_o not_o the_o scripture_n yet_o let_v they_o but_o go_v to_o the_o heathen_n and_o they_o will_v shame_v they_o 3._o it_o be_v well_o know_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o minister_n who_o take_v not_o their_o tithe_n in_o kind_n but_o compound_v with_o the_o people_n for_o their_o tithe_n i_o will_v fain_o see_v the_o enemy_n of_o the_o minister_n prove_v that_o ever_o the_o priest_n in_o the_o old_a law_n can_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n then_o still_o we_o take_v not_o our_o tithe_n as_o the_o priest_n all_o minister_n will_v do_v thus_o will_v people_n be_v reasonable_a in_o their_o composition_n but_o we_o find_v they_o defraud_v we_o 4._o for_o tithe_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o supreme_a power_n shall_v ever_o settle_v a_o more_o equal_a and_o easy_a way_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o ministry_n than_o this_o way_n of_o tithe_n already_o set_v 1._o not_o more_o equal_a for_o therein_o we_o rise_v and_o fall_v with_o the_o people_n we_o share_v with_o their_o blessing_n and_o cross_n we_o have_v little_a or_o more_o as_o they_o have_v little_a or_o more_o 2._o not_o more_o easy_a because_o as_o i_o say_v neither_o the_o buyer_n nor_o seller_n neither_o he_o that_o hire_v nor_o he_o that_o let_v do_v look_v on_o tithe_n as_o they_o and_o be_v it_o a_o burden_n for_o man_n to_o pay_v for_o what_o be_v none_o of_o their_o own_o and_o they_o esteem_v none_o of_o their_o own_o as_o in_o my_o second_o i_o have_v open_v object_n but_o you_o shall_v trust_v god_n for_o your_o maintenance_n answer_n so_o we_o do_v and_o desire_v to_o do_v but_o we_o will_v not_o nor_o dare_v trust_v
