A96620	A discovery of charity mistaken; or, some reasons against committees forcing the Parliaments godly, faithfull and plundered ministers (who labor in the Word and doctrine) to pay fifth parts to sequestred wives and children. With some answers to some arguments alledged for it. As also some complaints of poore plundered ministers, against the hard dealings of some committees about fifth parts, and juries, with a motion for their settlements for their lives.

sir_n i_o receive_v your_o letter_n wherein_o you_o desire_v to_o know_v my_o reason_n why_o five_o part_n shall_v not_o be_v allow_v to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o sequester_a minister_n by_o those_o minister_n that_o be_v put_v into_o sequestration_n which_o with_o some_o intermix_a grievance_n i_o hereby_o humble_o offer_v to_o your_o serious_a consideration_n and_o candid_a interpretation_n but_o to_o prevent_v mistake_v i_o premise_v 1_o that_o i_o plead_v not_o against_o the_o state_n allow_v five_o part_n to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o sequester_a delinquent_n temporal_a estate_n except_o they_o be_v office_n into_o which_o other_o be_v put_v neither_o 2_o do_v i_o intend_v any_o evil_n but_o good_a to_o those_o that_o have_v sit_v and_o do_v now_o sit_v at_o the_o stern_a of_o our_o commonwealth_n i_o be_o one_o of_o those_o that_o have_v act_v with_o and_o suffer_v much_o in_o name_n body_n and_o estate_n for_o they_o but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v lament_v and_o reform_v the_o hard_a measure_n that_o some_o of_o their_o best_a friend_n have_v receive_v at_o the_o hand_n of_o some_o of_o their_o committee_n and_o worse_o may_v if_o some_o good_a course_n be_v not_o speedy_o take_v to_o reform_v and_o restrain_v they_o and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v that_o neither_o you_o nor_o any_o other_o well-affected_n will_v take_v in_o ill_a part_n what_o i_o shall_v say_v in_o vindication_n of_o this_o position_n that_o it_o be_v not_o warrantable_a for_o committee_n to_o force_v poor_a plunder_v minister_n put_v into_o sequestration_n to_o pay_v five_o part_n of_o the_o profit_n of_o they_o to_o the_o respective_a wife_n and_o child_n of_o minister_n that_o be_v sequester_v from_o they_o and_o my_o argument_n to_o prove_v it_o be_v these_o 1_o because_o they_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o they_o for_o if_o they_o have_v any_o right_n to_o they_o it_o be_v either_o in_o right_n of_o the_o sequester_a minister_n or_o of_o themselves_o but_o neither_o of_o these_o way_n therefore_o no_o way_n 1_o not_o in_o right_a of_o sequester_a minister_n because_o they_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o they_o they_o have_v it_o may_v be_v a_o civil_a right_n unto_o they_o but_o that_o they_o have_v lose_v by_o their_o convict_a scandalousnesse_n and_o delinquency_n and_o be_v dead_a in_o law_n now_o you_o know_v when_o a_o minister_n be_v dead_a neither_o he_o nor_o his_o wife_n nor_o child_n have_v any_o right_n to_o any_o profit_v due_a after_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o a_o five_o part_n obj._n but_o you_o will_v say_v they_o be_v not_o dead_a in_o law_n because_o not_o legal_o put_v out_o by_o a_o judge_n at_o common_a law_n or_o deprive_v by_o their_o ordinary_n sol._n i_o answer_v 1_o they_o be_v deserve_o put_v

plunder_v minister_n do_v you_o know_v these_o committee_n be_v authorize_v to_o do_v what_o they_o do_v who_o proceed_v as_o favourable_o as_o they_o can_v according_a to_o those_o rule_n give_v

have_v their_o appeal_n even_o to_o the_o house_n itself_o if_o make_v within_o half_a a_o year_n after_o sequestration_n 2_o you_o know_v that_o jury_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n malignant_a and_o corrupt_a favourer_n of_o malignant_a and_o scandalous_a minister_n and_o foreswore_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o bring_v in_o their_o verdict_n not_o according_a to_o the_o evidence_n but_o to_o

be_o confident_a there_o be_v no_o great_a oppression_n in_o england_n then_o malignant_a and_o corrupt_a jury_n be_v to_o honest_a man_n and_o yet_o though_o the_o life_n and_o estate_n of_o godly_a

the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o whole_a house_n itself_o 4_o and_o true_o many_o if_o not_o most_o of_o those_o that_o now_o stand_v sequester_v be_v never_o legal_o if_o we_o take_v legal_o according_a to_o god_n holy_a word_n put_v in_o for_o god_n never_o send_v they_o for_o he_o never_o send_v any_o but_o such_o as_o he_o qualify_v with_o gift_n of_o illumination_n and_o

those_o patron_n that_o present_v they_o as_o well_o as_o those_o bishop_n that_o institute_v they_o be_v as_o sequestrable_a for_o delinquency_n and_o scandal_n as_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o

to_o they_o and_o therefore_o that_o they_o have_v as_o much_o right_n to_o five_o part_n as_o the_o minister_n put_v into_o sequestration_n have_v to_o the_o four_o part_n the_o parliament_n see_v

sequester_a minister_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n do_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o usury_n make_v a_o law_n to_o restrain_v they_o to_o five_o part_n and_o thereby_o do_v indeed_o tolerate_v but_o not_o command_v their_o inferior_n nor_o necessitate_v themselves_o to_o allow_v fifth_z part_n from_o poor_a plunder_v minister_n which_o law_n of_o they_o be_v god_n know_v

of_o their_o irreconcilable_a enemy_n second_o i_o deny_v the_o argument_n for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o state_n do_v tolerate_v and_o restrain_v usury_n to_o 6_o l._n per_fw-la cent_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a and_o just_a so_o neither_o do_v it_o follow_v because_o the_o state_n do_v tolerate_v a_o maintenance_n to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o sequester_a minister_n out_o of_o those_o sequestration_n where_o godly_a and_o plunder_v minister_n be_v place_v and_o restrain_v their_o agent_n to_o five_o part_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v

sir_n

grant_v the_o latter_a and_o you_o must_v yield_v the_o former_a for_o man_n law_n must_v be_v right_o ground_v upon_o god_n else_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o righteous_a but_o ungodly_a law_n but_o more_o of_o this_o hereafter_o for_o answer_v i_o say_v with_o submission_n to_o all_o in_o authority_n that_o they_o have_v no_o right_n unto_o five_o part_n by_o man_n law_n for_o 1_o the_o parliament_n do_v not_o command_v but_o only_o tolerate_v fifth_z part_n as_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o our_o state_n do_v tolerate_v man_n to_o take_v 6_o l._n per_fw-la cent_n that_o therefore_o they_o must_v take_v so_o much_o for_o man_n may_v lend_v for_o less_o or_o free_o for_o nothing_o if_o they_o will_n but_o committee_n force_v poor_a plunder_v minister_n to_o pay_v they_o to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o sequester_a minister_n though_o people_n pay_v they_o not_o their_o tithe_n and_o due_n 2_o their_o committee_n be_v patron_n pro_fw-la tempore_fw-la of_o all_o sequester_a live_n to_o which_o they_o present_v their_o minister_n when_o they_o send_v they_o to_o the_o assembly_n or_o other_o godly_a orthodox_n divine_v and_o institute_v and_o induct_v they_o when_o they_o give_v they_o order_n for_o their_o respective_a place_n now_o by_o that_o good_a old_a unrepealed_a law_n against_o simony_n it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o patron_n when_o he_o present_v any_o minister_n to_o a_o presentative_a live_n to_o reserve_v a_o five_o part_n yea_o any_o part_n of_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o same_o either_o for_o himself_o or_o any_o other_o be_v they_o never_o so_o poor_a as_o all_o skilled_a in_o our_o law_n know_v right_o well_o and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o committee_n to_o force_v poor_a plunder_v minister_n to_o pay_v to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o those_o that_o have_v be_v sequester_v a_o full_a five_o part_n of_o the_o profit_n of_o their_o live_n as_o they_o do_v under_o the_o

without_o offence_n as_o well_o as_o other_o write_v against_o usury_n which_o be_v tolerate_v by_o they_o therefore_o in_o answer_n i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o late_a

which_o this_o force_n of_o they_o to_o pay_v five_o part_n do_v not_o do_v but_o i_o will_v not_o say_v plunder_v they_o more_o and_o also_o to_o maintain_v the_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n of_o

now_o to_o force_v minister_n to_o pay_v five_o part_n to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o they_o that_o be_v sequester_v have_v the_o materiality_n if_o not_o the_o whole_a formality_n of_o simony_n and_o beside_o you_o know_v that_o committee_n be_v not_o supreme_a but_o subordinate_a patron_n and_o therefore_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v the_o law_n of_o our_o land_n as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o second_o argument_n to_o force_v poor_a plunder_v minister_n to_o pay_v five_o part_n to_o the_o wife_n and_o child_n of_o sequester_a minister_n be_v contrary_a to_o their_o proceed_n with_o

and_o which_o they_o do_v and_o may_v hold_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n as_o well_o as_o minister_n and_o yet_o committee_n though_o they_o have_v continue_v those_o office_n and_o put_v
