A79851 A second voyce from the temple to the higher povvers. Wherein is proved that the decrees and institutions of popes and popish counsels, which have been established by the law of the land, and have been continued and confirmed throughout divers ages, by several acts of Parliament, against Jesus Christ, in the way and order of the Gospel (the same yet standing) ought by the present supream authority of this nation to be taken away. Moreover; here is shewed, some particular decrees of popes, which have beeen established by several acts of Parliament, viz. A nationall ministry, tythes, prohibiting men from publick preaching of the Gospel, unlesse elected and ordained after a popish manner, &c. All which as they are the institutions of popes, formerly confirmed by the law of the land, so now, to be abrogated. By John Canne. Canne, John, d. 1667? 1653 (1653) Wing C442A; Thomason E710_19; ESTC R207195 25,656 36

neither_o of_o they_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v any_o title_n to_o it_o for_o they_o be_v not_o such_o incumbent_n or_o ecclesiastical_a person_n as_o the_o law_n allow_v in_o case_n

it_o belong_v rather_o to_o the_o parson_n and_o vicar_n themselves_o to_o speak_v to_o this_o point_n and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o take_v occasion_n to_o note_n how_o some_o man_n late_o in_o their_o nameless_a pamphlet_n for_o tithe_n have_v make_v a_o great_a noise_n about_o a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n confirm_v the_o right_n of_o tithe_n to_o the_o church_n and_o that_o the_o world_n may_v know_v what_o pain_n they_o have_v take_v for_o babylon_n or_o it_o may_v be_v rather_o for_o their_o own_o interest_n they_o begin_v at_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la and_o go_v through_o all_o the_o popish_a parliament_n even_o to_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o rake_v together_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o the_o pope_n trash_n and_o dung_n tell_v we_o very_o

of_o the_o tithe_n and_o penalty_n for_o nonpayment_n of_o they_o as_o treble_a damage_n imprisonment_n without_o bail_n now_o what_o be_v all_o this_o but_o wind_n and_o vanity_n a_o seek_v to_o
