indede_o these_o reward_n in_o some_o place_n do_v retayn_v the_o old_a name_n of_o tenthes_o but_o in_o many_o place_n they_o be_v not_o call_v tenthes_o but_o stipend_n or_o wage_n and_o assure_o

to_o inferior_n and_o as_o touch_v this_o foresay_a argument_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o such_o reward_n and_o stipend_n be_v thing_n indifferent_a because_o they_o be_v sometime_o pay_v unto_o
