tithe_n must_v be_v every_o one_o of_o they_o in_o a_o state_n of_o damnation_n for_o the_o last_o of_o these_o i_o be_o not_o very_o solicitous_a but_o for_o the_o former_a i_o will_v not_o easy_o drink_v in_o such_o a_o damn_v doctrine_n page_n 117._o he_o accuse_v i_o for_o gather_v some_o odd_a pretence_n to_o give_v reason_n why_o tithe_n be_v easy_a to_o the_o jew_n than_o to_o we_o he_o say_v i_o urge_v the_o vast_a number_n of_o the_o priest_n and_o one_o will_v think_v that_o the_o thirty_o part_n of_o a_o nation_n which_o be_v the_o low_a proportion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n have_v a_o right_a to_o a_o great_a portion_n than_o the_o six_o hundred_o part_n he_o also_o say_v that_o i_o urge_v the_o fruitfulness_n of_o their_o land_n and_o the_o barrenness_n of_o we_o which_o he_o add_v i_o draw_v from_o the_o quaker_n book_n but_o i_o can_v assure_v he_o if_o he_o will_v believe_v i_o i_o never_o read_v one_o of_o they_o on_o this_o argument_n i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o such_o mystery_n but_o that_o any_o man_n may_v have_v hit_v on_o it_o that_o a_o fruitful_a land_n may_v pay_v a_o great_a rate_n than_o a_o barren_a but_o i_o have_v give_v no_o advantage_n to_o the_o quaker_n for_o their_o unjust_a robbery_n of_o churchman_n or_o rather_o the_o rob_n of_o god_n in_o detain_v that_o which_o the_o law_n provide_v for_o they_o which_o it_o may_v well_o do_v though_o there_o be_v no_o antecedent_n divine_v right_o make_v it_o necessary_a and_o the_o law_n which_o be_v the_o measure_n of_o property_n have_v determine_v this_o the_o deny_v to_o pay_v it_o be_v as_o much_o injustice_n as_o rob_v on_o the_o highway_n the_o sin_n of_o which_o be_v not_o one_o jot_n the_o less_o though_o no_o man_n can_v make_v out_o his_o title_n to_o his_o good_n from_o a_o divine_a right_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o this_o be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a as_o the_o rob_v god_n must_v be_v great_a than_o the_o rob_v a_o private_a person_n page_n 118_o he_o accuse_v i_o for_o affirm_v false_o concern_v we_o and_o the_o jew_n that_o the_o same_o rule_n be_v apply_v to_o all_o though_o i_o grant_v that_o the_o jew_n tithe_n be_v but_o a_o five_o part_n and_o know_v that_o the_o christian_n be_v but_o a_o ten_o so_o here_o i_o lie_v against_o my_o conscience_n i_o will_v not_o say_v this_o be_v a_o wilful_a mistake_n in_o he_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v a_o gross_a one_o for_o the_o all_o to_o who_o i_o say_v the_o same_o rule_n be_v apply_v do_v not_o belong_v to_o jew_n and_o christian_n but_o to_o the_o northern_a and_o barren_a climate_n where_o the_o return_v be_v not_o above_o ten_o five_o and_o in_o some_o not_o above_o three_o and_o for_o the_o kindness_n of_o his_o censure_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o consider_v how_o far_o he_o be_v bind_v to_o ask_v god_n pardon_v for_o it_o pag._n 172._o he_o condemn_v i_o for_o my_o criticism_n about_o the_o term_n bishopric_n anno_fw-la 1077_o and_o say_v that_o i_o bring_v proof_n that_o it_o be_v early_o use_v and_o yet_o all_o that_o proof_n be_v the_o title_n of_o a_o chapter_n where_o it_o be_v once_o use_v and_o every_o body_n know_v that_o title_n we_o reset_v before_o book_n or_o chapter_n some_o age_n after_o they_o be_v write_v page_n 199._o he_o accuse_v i_o for_o say_v that_o king_n may_v begin_v the_o seizure_n of_o the_o good_n of_o decease_a bishop_n as_o represent_v the_o people_n who_o before_o may_v make_v those_o seizure_n and_o whereas_o the_o poor_a at_o first_o make_v they_o he_o argue_v that_o the_o king_n can_v not_o be_v suppose_v to_o represent_v the_o poor_a but_o since_o i_o pretend_v only_o in_o this_o matter_n to_o proceed_v upon_o conjecture_n any_o error_n i_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o aught_o to_o be_v easy_o forgive_v i_o and_o i_o tell_v what_o may_v have_v fall_v out_o in_o fact_n and_o not_o what_o be_v to_o be_v defend_v in_o right_o it_o be_v probable_a as_o long_o as_o the_o bishop_n be_v poor_a the_o poor_a only_o spoil_v their_o good_n but_o when_o they_o grow_v rich_a it_o be_v like_o enough_o other_o may_v have_v mix_v with_o the_o poor_a in_o these_o spoil_n and_o that_o may_v have_v invite_v the_o officer_n of_o prince_n first_o to_o seize_v on_o they_o page_n 320_o he_o accuse_v i_o for_o say_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o dedicate_v under_o the_o new_a

subject_a to_o the_o supreme_a legislative_a power_n but_o his_o last_o instance_n make_v amends_o for_o all_o the_o defect_n in_o the_o former_a this_o nation_n have_v be_v under_o great_a

parliament_n for_o some_o year_n but_o none_o of_o they_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o foresee_v one_o danger_n with_o which_o he_o fright_v i_o because_o i_o determine_v that_o a_o popish_a prince_n may_v extend_v the_o regale_n to_o all_o church_n in_o his_o dominion_n and_o this_o he_o think_v a_o unseasonable_a assertion_n to_o publish_v here_o in_o england_n as_o our_o case_n stand_v with_o

vest_v with_o the_o six_o head_n for_o which_o i_o come_v under_o his_o discipline_n be_v the_o many_o gross_a reflection_n on_o the_o clergy_n both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a which_o he_o think_v prodigious_o strange_a and_o especial_o in_o this_o age_n and_o that_o the_o rather_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o many_o of_o the_o accusation_n be_v false_a and_o to_o bring_v this_o to_o instance_n he_o complain_v that_o page_n 26_o i_o inveigh_v against_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o four_o century_n and_o yet_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o better_a and_o sound_a part_n do_v still_o prevail_v in_o public_a synod_n from_o which_o he_o infer_v that_o if_o the_o major_a part_n be_v good_a there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o that_o invective_n yet_o any_o that_o read_v that_o passage_n will_v hardly_o find_v much_o of_o invective_n in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v far_o short_a of_o what_o may_v have_v be_v cite_v from_o nazianzen_n and_o chrysostom_n
