A66530	The lying spirit and false aspertions turned home again, or, An answer to two reviling letters about the peoples right to tythes sent to the people call'd Quakers in the Vail of Bellvier by Clement Nedham, a Presbyterian, who writes himself, a farmer in the county of Leicester : wherein I have shew'd according to scriptures, what spirit it was that brought up tythes among the Christians, so call'd : and that those that brought them up since Christ put an end to them were not in their right senses, but were made drunk by drinking of that spirit of error that made them do they knew not what, and consequently their examples not to be followed : with an addition, shewing, that the impropriator hath less right to tythes then the poor or priest, if less can be : with a few words in love to all those that send their sons to those places called universities, with an intent to make them ministers : also a copy of a letter sent to G.N. in manuscript, wherein his unhansom and unchristian-like dealings may be seen : with a short postcript to the reader / by J.W. ...

now_o it_o be_v in_o my_o heart_n to_o put_v thou_o in_o mind_n of_o thy_o unhandsome_a and_o unchristianlike_a deal_n towards_o we_o first_o the_o time_n thou_o do_v send_v thy_o letter_n to_o we_o

envy_n be_v and_o be_v beyond_o the_o bound_n of_o christianity_n and_o here_o thou_o seem_v to_o add_v affliction_n to_o the_o afflict_a and_o to_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o evil-doer_n again_o after_o thou_o have_v send_v thy_o first_o letter_n i_o send_v one_o in_o love_n to_o thou_o for_o that_o end_n that_o thy_o understanding_n may_v be_v open_v to_o see_v the_o rice_n and_o ground_n of_o tithe_n and_o what_o spirit_n bring_v they_o up_o hope_v a_o word_n to_o the_o wise_a may_v have_v be_v sufficient_a but_o instead_o of_o accept_v my_o love_n thou_o vilify_v i_o with_o revile_v
