common_o call_v antichristian_a or_o against_o christ_n and_o hence_o have_v arisen_a that_o say_v often_o use_v not_o only_o by_o our_o ancient_a friend_n but_o by_o some_o of_o the_o martyr_n long_o before_o viz._n he_o that_o pay_v tithe_n do_v thereby_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh._n that_o conclusion_n can_v not_o have_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o pay_n of_o tithe_n to_o a_o wrong_a ministry_n or_o for_o a_o wrong_n use_v only_o though_o such_o payment_n be_v evil_a nor_o can_v any_o thing_n justify_v that_o inference_n but_o the_o consideration_n that_o tithe_n depend_v on_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o moses_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n and_o in_o course_n fall_v and_o cease_v when_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pay_v of_o tithe_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o

these_o impropriate_a tithe_n be_v pay_v to_o those_o religious_a order_n or_o house_n as_o be_v due_a to_o god_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o levitic_a law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o tithe_n be_v

from_o they_o to_o the_o impropriator_n be_v next_o to_o be_v inquire_v 2._o until_o the_o lateran_n council_n so_o name_v because_o it_o be_v hold_v in_o the_o pope_n palace_n at_o rome_n call_v
