which signifies a Badg of Subordination of the Clergie to the supream Civil Magistrate and where they have cast off this Tribute the Civil Magistrate hath been subordinate to the Authority of the Church THat the first-Fruits and Tenths are of a Popish Institution Answ. It may be satisfactory ●●ough that this Tribute of first-Fruits and Tenths have been paid to all Kings and Queens of England since the Reformation in Henry the Eighth's Time without any Repeal of any of the said Statutes but in the Time of ●opery viz. in the 2. and 3. of Philip and Marie The Act for paying of first-Fruits and Tenths was repealed but confirmed again in the very first year of Queen Elizabeths Reformation of Religion from Popery by the Statute of the 1. Eliz. chap. 4. With a Recital and Ratification of all former Statute● that confirmed the same to the Crown and have continued in Force ever since So that if the Tythes be Jure Divino payable to the Clergie for their Administration of the Word and Sacraments to the People the first-Fruits and Tenths Jure Politico are payable to the King their Soveraign Lord for His Administration of Iustice and maintaining the Rights Priviledges and Liberties both of Church and State THat the Clergie of all Orders and Degrees have lately suffered and therefore ought not to be raised in their first Fruits and Tenths Answ. That the King hath suffered more and His Revenue much diminished by the late detestable and irreligious War which hath been fomented and encouraged by many thousands of the Clergie now confirmed in their Livings by Act of Parliament and the Commons of England would more willingly pay their Tythes if they were sensible the first-Fruits and full Tenths were to be paid to the King as they lately expressed in their desires upon the like Occasion of improving that part of the Kings Revenue THe Incumbents have and do daily take Advantages for their Tythes of new Tillage and other Improvements of Land which ought to be proportionably answered to the King The Bishops and all other Persons in Spiritual Dignities and Promotions may raise a full Tenth Part to be paid by their Tenants who offers now to advance so much besides the old reserved Rents and also to repair the Ruins of their Cathedral Churches Six Proposals to the King 1.

THat no Hospital Colledge or Schole shall pay any first-Fruits or Tents 4. THat the Bishop shall not be troubled with the care or charge of Collection of first-Fruits or Tenths within his Diocess but be wholly busied in the other spiritual Affairs of the Church and Cure of Souls 5. THat all Ministers who were settled in Livings before the 29th of May la● 1660. and have already compounded for their first Fruits shall be discharged accordingly 6. THat the Petitioners will prepare a Bill That the said Patent for one a●d thirty years may be confi●med by Parliament with His Majestyes Concurrence to the Petitioners containing such Covenants Clauses Provisoes Conditions and Agreements as the Attorney General and the rest of His Majesties Council Learned in the Law shall reasonably Advice and direct whereby all legall Power and Authority may be granted and confirmed to the Petitioners to Tax Levie and Receive the said first-Fr●its and Tenths in as large and ample a manner as by the said Laws and Statutes the same were granted to the Kings and Queens of England as aforesaid Three Proposals offered to the Clergie 1. THat upon the Nomination Appointment Election or Presentation of a●● Spiritual person into t●e said Dignities Benefices or Promotions and before they enter into the Actual possession thereof they shall be bound in a Recognizance in the Nature of a Statute Staple with two sufficient Sureties to pay the first Fruits according to the full value as shall be returned upon a Survey payable within four years after such Nomination Election presentation or Entrance at eight severall payments by equal portions ●very six Moneths and that one years Tenths of every such Dignity Benefice or promotion shall be deducted out of the said first-Fruits 2. THat whereas by the Liberty and Disorder of the late depraved Times the Clergie were not held in such Reverence and Esteem by the Common People as the Dignity of their Calling requires And they have been forced to commence several Actions for their Tythes and by reason of Contentio●s and distempered Spirits the Preaching of the Word of God hath been unprofitable to the people that have taken aprejudice against the Ministery Therefore a short Bill shall be prepared by Counsel and offered to the Parliam●nt that an Act may be passed for the speedy Recovering of Tythes and that the two next Iustices of the peace adjacent to the place may have power upon Complaint of any Minister or other person to whom the Tythes do or shall belong to issue their Warrants yo distrain the Goods and Chattels of any person or persons refussing to pay their Tythes to whom they shall become due and payable as aforesaid That Love and Vnity may be preserved between the Ministers and their Congregations 3.
