A86306	The undeceiving of the people in the point of tithes: wherein is shewed, I. That never any clergy in the Church of God hath been, or is maintained with lesse charge to the subject, then the established clergy of the Church of England. II. That there is no subject in the realme of England, who giveth any thing of his own, towards the maintenance of his parish-minister, but his Easter-offering. III. That the change of tithes into stipends, will bring greater trouble to the clergy, then is yet considered; and far lesse profit to the countrey, then is now pretended. / By Ph. Treleinie Gent.	Heylyn, Peter, 1600-1662.	1647 (1647)	Wing H1741; Thomason E418_1; ESTC R204596	25,471	32

whereas_o if_o no_o such_o rent_n or_o tithe_n be_v to_o issue_v out_o of_o it_o he_o will_v have_v as_o many_o year_n purchase_v for_o the_o sum_n remain_v which_o will_v enhance_v the_o price_n 110_o l._n high_o than_o before_o it_o be_v now_o by_o this_o standard_n we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o case_n of_o land_n though_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o soil_n the_o well_o

whatsoever_o the_o full_a tithe_n of_o all_o be_v worth_a to_o the_o minister_n we_o may_v undoubted_o conclude_v that_o if_o so_o much_o as_o the_o tithe_n come_v to_o yearly_a be_v not_o pay_v to_o

though_o they_o do_v not_o actual_o receive_v tithe_n of_o the_o people_n yet_o they_o still_o keep_v on_o foot_n their_o right_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n till_o they_o can_v enjoy_v they_o in_o
