A92241	Reasons humbly exhibited, why ministers tithes and profits should not be taxed as a reall estate of yearly rent, or yearly value of land, as hitherto they have beene, but as a personall estate of goods and chattels onely		1653 (1653)	Wing R521A; ESTC R229921	2,183	1

reason_n humble_o exhibit_v why_o minister_n tithe_n and_o profit_n shall_v not_o be_v tax_v as_o a_o real_a estate_n of_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n as_o hitherto_o they_o have_v be_v but_o as_o a_o personal_a estate_n of_o good_n and_o chattel_n only_o 1._o for_o that_o their_o tithe_n do_v arise_v from_o and_o by_o the_o yearly_a improve_n of_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o farmer_n or_o ocupier_n of_o land_n and_o if_o the_o farmer_n suffer_v loss_n therein_o the_o minister_n suffer_v in_o his_o proportion_n with_o he_o neither_o have_v the_o minister_n a_o right_a in_o law_n to_o any_o thing_n tithable_a which_o be_v fix_v to_o the_o freehold_n until_o it_o be_v sever_v therefrom_o and_o then_o if_o the_o farmer_n nine_o part_n thereof_o be_v just_o deem_v good_n and_o chattel_n and_o in_o justice_n and_o equity_n be_v assess_v but_o as_o a_o personal_a estate_n then_o sure_o the_o minister_n ten_o part_n of_o the_o same_o can_v just_o be_v deem_v other_o than_o good_n and_o chattel_n and_o in_o like_o justice_n and_o equity_n ought_v to_o be_v assess_v but_o as_o a_o personal_a estate_n of_o good_n and_o chattel_n only_o and_o not_o as_o a_o real_a estate_n of_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n 2._o for_o that_o the_o act_n comprise_v all_o estate_n under_o real_a and_o personal_a and_o as_o be_v humble_o conceive_v hold_v forth_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n to_o be_v only_o real_a estate_n and_o all_o other_o profit_n money_n good_n chattel_n stock_n merchandize_n etc._n etc._n to_o be_v personal_a estate_n as_o in_o fol._n 308._o now_o tithe_n be_v but_o the_o ten_o of_o good_n and_o chattel_n tithable_a as_o aforesaid_a and_o of_o no_o other_o or_o more_o value_n than_o so_o much_o good_n and_o chattel_n how_o in_o justice_n and_o equity_n can_v they_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o say_a act_n be_v assess_v for_o more_o than_o a_o personal_a estate_n of_o so_o much_o good_n and_o chattel_n 3._o for_o that_o the_o late_a committee_n of_o parliament_n for_o the_o army_n by_o their_o order_n of_o the_o 3._o of_o february_n 1652._o resolve_a that_o all_o profit_n and_o salary_n arise_v or_o allow_v to_o any_o person_n by_o or_o in_o respect_n of_o any_o office_n belong_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n aught_o to_o be_v assess_v as_o personal_a estate_n and_o that_o the_o commissioner_n for_o the_o assessment_n for_o the_o army_n in_o the_o city_n of_o london_n do_v take_v care_n that_o the_o respective_a assessor_n and_o collector_n for_o the_o say_a city_n do_v proceed_v in_o the_o assess_n collect_v of_o the_o say_a assessment_n and_o arrear_n according_o and_o be_v there_o not_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o like_a rule_n shall_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o country_n now_o how_o far_o the_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n will_v be_v deem_v belong_v to_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v humble_o submit_v yet_o sure_a as_o the_o minister_n tithe_n and_o profit_n be_v allow_v as_o a_o salary_n or_o reward_n or_o hire_v for_o his_o labour_n and_o pain_n in_o the_o discharge_n of_o his_o say_a office_n which_o will_v clear_o appear_v to_o be_v so_o in_o the_o next_o reason_n so_o there_o be_v a_o adequate_a suitableness_n to_o receive_v a_o like_a benefit_n by_o the_o say_a order_n viz._n of_o be_v assess_v but_o as_o a_o personal_a estate_n 4._o for_o that_o the_o whole_a yearly_a incumbe_fw-la of_o the_o minister_n live_v be_v but_o the_o salary_n reward_n or_o ●ire_v for_o their_o constant_a labour_n viz._n they_o by_o their_o constant_a labour_n in_o their_o ministerial_a office_n do_v produce_v so_o much_o yearly_o towards_o the_o maintenance_n of_o themselves_o and_o family_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o salary_n reward_n or_o hire_n for_o their_o labour_n appear_v first_o because_o the_o scripture_n so_o term_v it_o say_v the_o labourer_n be_v worthy_a of_o his_o hire_n refer_v to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n 2._o because_o they_o have_v no_o other_o salary_n reward_n or_o hire_n for_o their_o labour_n and_o service_n allow_v they_o by_o or_o from_o man_n 3._o because_o if_o they_o cease_v to_o perform_v the_o constant_a service_n and_o labour_n of_o the_o say_a office_n they_o be_v liable_a to_o be_v eject_v by_o law_n and_o equity_n which_o of_o late_a year_n to_o the_o great_a comfort_n of_o many_o fear_v god_n in_o several_a place_n have_v often_o be_v do_v and_o practise_v unto_o which_o servitude_n and_o encumbrance_n a_o real_a estate_n of_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n be_v no_o way_n liable_a therefore_o how_o in_o justice_n and_o equity_n can_v the_o yearly_a profit_n of_o a_o minister_n labour_n be_v assess_v equal_a with_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n or_o for_o more_o than_o a_o personal_a estate_n as_o aforesaid_a 5._o for_o that_o no_o lawyer_n or_o physician_n etc._n etc._n although_o he_o get_v 500_o l._n a_o year_n by_o his_o science_n and_o practice_n be_v assess_v for_o the_o same_o as_o so_o much_o real_a estate_n of_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n but_o as_o a_o personal_a estate_n of_o so_o much_o money_n therefore_o in_o justice_n and_o equity_n how_o can_v the_o product_n of_o the_o poor_a minister_n labour_n which_o to_o many_o be_v not_o sufficient_a maintenance_n for_o themselves_o and_o family_n be_v assess_v at_o more_o than_o so_o much_o personal_a estate_n of_o money_n or_o good_n etc._n etc._n 6._o for_o that_o the_o say_a act_n to_o the_o end_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o equal_a and_o right_n proportion_v of_o the_o tax_n do_v enact_v that_o a_o pound_n rate_n be_v make_v of_o all_o real_a and_o personal_a estate_n according_a to_o the_o value_n thereof_o and_o give_v by_o way_n of_o rule_n a_o instance_n how_o they_o shall_v be_v value_v that_o be_v to_o say_v every_o 20_o l._n money_n stock_n or_o other_o personal_a estate_n shall_v bear_v the_o like_a charge_n as_o shall_v be_v lay_v upon_o every_o twenty_o shilling_n yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n so_o that_o 100_o l._n yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n according_a to_o that_o computation_n be_v always_o worth_a 2000_o l._n money_n and_o so_o of_o a_o great_a and_o less_o proportion_n which_o say_v rend_v as_o it_o arise_v certain_a without_o labour_n or_o service_n so_o be_v it_o descendable_a or_o alienable_a to_o heir_n or_o assign_v when_o as_o the_o minister_n must_v first_o perform_v the_o service_n of_o the_o place_n if_o he_o look_v to_o receive_v the_o profit_n thereof_o which_o if_o they_o amount_v at_o the_o year_n end_v to_o 100_o l._n be_v never_o more_o worth_a to_o he_o than_o so_o much_o money_n good_n or_o chattel_n if_o he_o happen_v to_o live_v to_o the_o end_n of_o harvest_n and_o can_v get_v it_o in_o nor_o be_v it_o descendable_a to_o wife_n and_o child_n nor_o can_v be_v by_o he_o put_v to_o sale_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o land_n aforesaid_a although_o the_o minister_n bestow_v his_o whole_a time_n from_o his_o childhood_n till_o the_o age_n of_o 23_o or_o 24_o year_n at_o the_o soon_o sometime_o much_o long_o at_o the_o great_a charge_n of_o friend_n to_o fit_a and_o prepare_v himself_o for_o the_o work_n before_o he_o be_v capable_a in_o law_n to_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n and_o take_v the_o profit_n of_o a_o benefice_n therefore_o how_o in_o justice_n and_o equity_n can_v their_o tithe_n and_o profit_n be_v assess_v equal_a which_o the_o yearly_a rent_n or_o yearly_a value_n of_o land_n or_o for_o more_o than_o a_o personal_a estate_n of_o money_n or_o good_n and_o chattel_n as_o aforesaid_a the_o aforesaid_a reason_n consider_v and_o humble_o conceive_v to_o be_v valid_a the_o minister_n have_v hitherto_o be_v assess_v at_o nineteen_o time_n in_o twenty_o more_o than_o his_o due_a proportion_n
