in_o as_o large_a and_o ample_a manner_n as_o the_o governor_n of_o those_o and_o such_o other_o religious_a house_n have_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v the_o same_o in_o the_o right_n of_o their_o

not_o otherwise_o let_v we_o therefore_o see_v whether_o they_o belong_v or_o not_o 4._o whether_o tithe_n and_o appropriation_n belong_v to_o the_o monastery_n or_o not_o abbot_n prior_n and_o such_o religious_a man_n have_v two_o sort_n of_o tithe_n one_o incorporate_a to_o their_o house_n which_o i_o call_v monastical_a tithe_n the_o other_o depend_v upon_o their_o function_n as_o they_o be_v

for_o before_o the_o lugdune_n and_o lateran_n counsel_n every_o man_n may_v bestow_v his_o tithe_n upon_o what_o religious_a house_n person_n he_o list_v and_o then_o the_o founder_n and_o benefactor_n of_o religious_a house_n do_v ordinary_o grant_v all_o or_o some_o portion_n of_o their_o tithe_n to_o those_o house_n as_o by_o a_o multitude_n of_o precedent_n thereof_o appear_v from_o hence_o it_o rise_v that_o the_o monastery_n 240._o have_v so_o many_o portion_n of_o tithe_n or_o rent_n for_o they_o which_o we_o call_v pension_n out_o of_o so_o many_o several_a and_o remote_a

function_n though_o by_o act_n of_o appropriation_n it_o be_v collate_v upon_o these_o religious_a man_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o invest_v the_o property_n of_o those_o tithe_n in_o their_o monastery_n but_o make_v their_o person_n capable_a of_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o their_o function_n for_o without_o their_o function_n of_o be_v ecclesiastical_a person_n they_o can_v not_o have_v they_o be_v foreign_a unto_o they_o as_o i_o may_v term_v it_o and_o not_o domestical_a as_o belong_v to_o their_o house_n or_o monastical_a as_o belong_v to_o their_o conventuall_a body_n 5._o in_o what_o

it_o be_v confess_v by_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n themselves_o that_o it_o can_v establish_v nothing_o against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o if_o tithe_n be_v in_o the_o clergy_n by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o before_o we_o have_v show_v then_o can_v they_o not_o be_v pull_v from_o he_o by_o any_o law_n of_o man_n neither_o have_v the_o parliament_n as_o it_o seem_v attempt_v to_o do_v it_o but_o insomuch_o as_o they_o be_v misemploy_v by_o the_o clergy_n of_o that_o time_n therefore_o the_o parliament_n take_v they_o from_o they_o and_o give_v they_o to_o the_o

this_o point_n depend_v upon_o the_o precedent_n for_o the_o end_n why_o they_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o king_n be_v declare_v by_o the_o manner_n of_o give_v they_o unto_o he_o therefore_o though_o
