a_o earthly_a and_o count_v he_o worthy_a to_o receive_v a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n now_o concern_v your_o demeanour_n towards_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n it_o may_v very_o well_o seem_v very_o incredible_a to_o all_o man_n of_o other_o profession_n in_o the_o world_n to_o who_o you_o give_v place_n for_o love_n and_o honour_n usual_o give_v to_o such_o as_o serve_v they_o in_o holy_a thing_n that_o i_o may_v not_o say_v far_o outstrip_v and_o go_v beyond_o any_o of_o they_o in_o malice_n and_o mischief_n towards_o your_o spiritual_a guide_n especial_o of_o late_a year_n since_o you_o have_v have_v more_o free_a and_o safe_a opportunity_n of_o show_v your_o disaffection_n to_o they_o or_o spleen_n against_o they_o then_o in_o precede_a time_n it_o have_v ever_o be_v your_o practice_n receive_v from_o your_o forefather_n to_o remove_v as_o much_o as_o in_o you_o lay_v the_o ancient_a landmark_n and_o to_o entrench_v upon_o the_o bound_n and_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o clergy_n and_o this_o you_o have_v do_v by_o concealment_n of_o know_a right_n belong_v to_o the_o ministry_n by_o pretend_a but_o false_a prescription_n and_o custom_n against_o both_o humane_a and_o divine_a law_n by_o defalcation_n of_o tithe_n unjust_a payment_n or_o detention_n of_o they_o evasion_n collusion_n and_o by_o other_o way_n as_o bad_a as_o these_o but_o now_o you_o desire_v a_o release_n of_o this_o debt_n or_o nonpayment_n thereof_o some_o as_o they_o make_v show_v for_o conscience_n sake_n because_o it_o be_v in_o their_o account_n part_n of_o the_o leviticall_a law_n or_o of_o the_o old_a jewish_a bondage_n from_o which_o they_o be_v whole_o exempt_a by_o christ_n jesus_n other_o for_o no_o other_o end_n either_o in_o show_n or_o in_o truth_n then_o to_o spare_v this_o cost_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o lay_v the_o gain_n to_o their_o own_o private_a treasure_n and_o sure_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o common_a country_n people_n may_v be_v free_v from_o this_o ungrateful_a pension_n or_o may_v tithe_n as_o they_o speak_v be_v lay_v asleep_o they_o will_v not_o much_o care_n if_o the_o ministry_n also_o sleep_v with_o the_o same_o for_o as_o they_o count_v the_o one_o a_o extreme_a burden_n to_o their_o purse_n and_o therefore_o never_o yet_o pay_v tithe_n with_o a_o willing_a mind_n so_o they_o feel_v the_o other_o a_o burden_n to_o their_o conscience_n from_o which_o they_o will_v be_v deliver_v do_v not_o a_o superior_a fear_n limit_n and_o restrain_v they_o in_o this_o impious_a desire_n and_o ungodly_a will_n for_o they_o can_v endure_v to_o see_v a_o minister_n thrive_v by_o their_o labour_n though_o pine_v with_o his_o own_o and_o for_o their_o sake_n in_o the_o lord_n harvest_n as_o for_o the_o other_o sort_n who_o conscience_n as_o they_o profess_v will_v not_o permit_v they_o to_o be_v tither_v according_a to_o the_o law_n by_o which_o we_o be_v govern_v for_o fear_v of_o subject_v themselves_o to_o a_o ceremonial_a rite_n or_o duty_n now_o abrogate_a by_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v strange_a to_o consider_v both_o how_o vain_a their_o fear_n be_v in_o this_o case_n because_o this_o burden_n be_v not_o impose_v on_o they_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o mosalcall_a law_n but_o by_o the_o civil_a power_n for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o gospel_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o shadow_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o body_n and_o also_o how_o false_a their_o pretence_n be_v of_o christian_a tenderness_n in_o this_o business_n because_o the_o same_o person_n who_o allege_v against_o the_o minister_n that_o they_o receive_v of_o the_o people_n that_o portion_n which_o be_v proper_o due_a to_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n complain_v that_o they_o pay_v more_o now_o to_o the_o minister_n under_o the_o gospel_n than_o the_o jew_n do_v to_o the_o priest_n under_o the_o law_n namely_o a_o five_o for_o their_o ten_o part_n which_o if_o true_a the_o rate_n be_v much_o different_a now_o from_o what_o it_o be_v then_o and_o they_o do_v apparent_o pluck_v down_o with_o one_o
