To the Reverend Assembly of DIVINES Assembled in Holy Convocation at Westminster Blessing and Benediction from his Superlative Holiness Reverend Young MARTIN MAR-PRIEST Dearly beloved Brethren HEarken with fear and reverence unto the Words of His Holiness Reverend Young Martin Mar-Priest as you shall find them written in the fourth Book of his venerable Sanctity The Ordinance for Tythes dis 〈…〉 ed. But Beloved the Glasse hasteneth and it is not seasonable now this Good Time to detaine you too long for I know though out of your Reformed Piety you dislike the Papall Sanctity thereof yet cut of the Presbyterian accuteness of your Stomakes you would willingly consecrate your Reverend Intrailes with the delicate belly-timber sclemnities thereof for I know Pl●m-Pottage Mi●●●d Pyes and other such toothsome toyes have 〈◊〉 been very naturall 〈◊〉 pleasing to the men of our Cloth Wherefore Dearly Beloved least I should transgresse too much upon the servent Zeal of your Appitites I shall leave the division of the matter to your selves as able proficients therein after a most Scholastick method onely I shall Devote these my Pious Observations upon the Divinity of your Title of the Exaction of Tythes unto your most Sacred Protection and Perusall as a Christ 〈…〉 Cha●●ll or pastime for those Holy-dayes for your better concoction not doubting but even your selves will also shortly be throughly digested and be cast out as the Excrements of the Land if you doe not put a swift period to your Tythe plundering Divinity And to that end I have in some measure discovered the iniquity and vanity of your pretended Jure Divino to the Exaction of Tythes dispers'd and clear'd up your mysty fogges wherewith you have besotted corrupted and infattuated the peoples understandings into a blind zeal thereof whereby if they please they may now see that the priviledge and property thereof is their owne both by Divine 〈…〉 Episcopall extirpation the ever to be Honoured Petitioners of Hertfordshire who now have broke the Ice of this grand Oppression even pluck'd at the 〈…〉 against 〈◊〉 insufferable 〈…〉 Tythes that the rest of the Counties may follow them as they 〈◊〉 against the Bishops and the Lord stir them up and give them good 〈◊〉 that our Children after us may reap the benefit of their happy beginnings Thus grave and Reverend ASSEMBLY in testimony that our Holynesse 〈…〉 the zeal of 〈…〉 our Dedicatory 〈…〉 of God 〈…〉 standing 〈…〉 not to 〈…〉 Holynesses thereat 〈…〉 and your 〈…〉 your Cloth's 〈…〉 Fort to 〈…〉 THE ORDINANCE FOR TYTHES DISMOUNTED From all Mosaicall Evangelicall and true Magesteriall Right OR The Clergy utterly untitled of their JURE DIVINO for their Exaction of TYTHES The Introduction WHERE AS under the late Regall and Episcopall exorbitancy the Exaction of Tythes hath for a long time been coersively imposed upon the People of this Kingdome for the advance and magnificence of one sort thereof entitled the Clergy who out of their divine Providence have very prudently ever pretended and pleadeded their Title thereto to be JURE DIVINO whereby both Magestrate and People have ever been perswaded as their duties the one to command the other to obey the exaction thereof thorough the mysterious subtilty specious pretences of that Chemarim Sect that Canniball litter of Tyth-mongring Negroes And now that we might have a thorrough Reformation both in and person I should say in Church and State under the Parliamentary and Presbyterian Authority the same is very wisely and discreetly continued and reconfirmed O Reader here with Reverend MARTIN stand amazed at their wit down upon thy knees up with thy hands and gloor Fresbyter-like with thine eyes admiring and adoring this happy Reformation and sing Hallalujab for ever and for ever that we are blest with such a Parliament such a Synod such a Presbytery such a bomination bundance of Ordinances Ordinances upon Ordinances even whole Carl-loades of contradicting Ordinances Beloved Brethreu to establish such a croaking gender of frisking froggy Presbyters bred in and skipt from the myery Bogges of Episcopacy thus to inrich them with the Tenths of the Kingdome by a more powerfull and obligatory Authority then before Let all the land feare them let all the Inhabitants thereof stand in awe of them for they but speake and it is done out of their primative Zeal they doe but claime them of Divine Right and the godly Parliament forthwith most prudently invest their Sanctities to confirme as infallible the Divinity of their Title with a most juditious elaborate Act the Hallowed Ordinance for Tythes O the purity of our Times dignify'd and enrich'd with power coercive to plunder the Goods and imprison the Persons of such as shall refuse the paiment thereof whereby the generallity of the people are awed and dare not prye or once glance into the Arke of their sacred Title least they be smit with a Confiscation c. that the Divinity of their Title goes now as currant for Tith-ware amongst the vulgarity as if it had the Gospel-Image and Superscription upon it that now the silly soules even in the middest of their millitary taxations Issacbar● like humbly couch under the burthen of their Exaction when as indeed in equity they had more need to substract then to adde to shake off rather then to contract an unnecessary Burthen to their over-burthened shoulders But the Presbyters doe not greatly care considering the breadth of their backs Wherefore out of duty unto God and love unto my Country in this time of publick necessity I shall as neere as I can discover the vanity of their Title that the oppressed may see it and something case themselves of their Burthen But that I may the better evince it to every rationall and ordinary capacity and stop the mouth of the most materiall opposition I shall make triall of their divine Title in their most fundamentall pretences which may naturally be digested into their deductions from three heads to wit Mosaicall Evangelicall and H 〈…〉 and so answerable reduce my matter into three Sections For on these 3. Pillars the Clergy would erect the cock-loft of their Jure Divine even from thence hold and maintaine their Tenuce of Divine Right unto the exaction of Tythes but I shall impactially examine the divinity of their Title deducted from these severall Heads as being the most rationall and satisfactory way of tryall to lay the Axe unto the root of the Tree to unbottome their building for if I pluck from them their main Pillars their Cathedrall props downe tumbles the great Goddesse Jure Divino Pulpits Priests Tythe-pigges Pullen and all and what a fray then there will be judge yee And first concerning the Authority of their Mosaicall Title SECTION I. Of the Clergies Mosaicall Title of Jure Divino unto the exaction of TYTHES THat wee may the better make tryall hereof it is to be considered that the Clergy of this Kingdome doe Parochially Officiate therein as the Ministers of JESUS CHRIST as they pretend themselves
