to_o the_o minister_n of_o england_n for_o i_o do_v not_o find_v in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o god_n complain_v against_o christian_n for_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o honour_n &_o

the_o doctor_n will_v have_v man_n to_o believe_v therefore_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o wise_a conscientious_a man_n to_o judge_v whether_o i_o or_o the_o doctor_n do_v err_v in_o this_o point_n from_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n some_o other_o argument_n have_v be_v also_o draw_v from_o the_o scripture_n by_o other_o defender_n of_o tithe_n but_o i_o shall_v wave_v they_o at_o present_a and_o follow_v the_o doctor_n a_o little_a further_o who_o in_o the_o next_o place_n go_v about_o to_o maintain_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o tithe_n for_o minister_n maintenance_n

about_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n one_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o a_o decretal_a epistle_n by_o pope_n innocent_a the_o three_o date_v at_o lateran_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o archbishop_n of_o

the_o parish_n church_n for_o before_o that_o time_n any_o man_n may_v have_v give_v his_o tithe_n to_o what_o spiritual_a person_n he_o will_v but_o say_v sir_n edward_n coke_n this_o epistle_n

law_n tithe_n be_v pay_v in_o england_n without_o any_o other_o law_n until_o the_o twenty_o seven_o year_n of_o hen._n 8._o and_o i_o do_v not_o read_v that_o tithe_n be_v at_o this_o day_n pay_v for_o the_o minister_n maintenance_n in_o any_o christian_a reform_v church_n except_o only_o in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o if_o no_o custom_n can_v commend_v what_o be_v in_o its_o nature_n evil_a or_o change_v it_o into_o good_a as_o the_o doctor_n confess_v than_o a_o popish_a custom_n of_o pay_v tithe_n in_o england_n although_o most_o man_n approve_v it_o can_v be_v good_a nor_o aught_o to_o be_v follow_v for_o we_o must_v not_o follow_v a_o multitude_n to_o do_v evil_a for_o although_o tithe_n be_v not_o precise_o in_o plain_a term_n forbid_v yet_o they_o be_v no_o where_o command_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o pay_v they_o we_o be_v not_o to_o do_v more_o or_o less_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n than_o god_n in_o his_o word_n have_v command_v therefore_o what_o custom_n have_v be_v bring_v up_o and_o practise_v in_o england_n by_o authority_n of_o man_n without_o any_o precept_n or_o rule_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o evil_a custom_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v abolish_v but_o the_o custom_n of_o pay_v tithe_n in_o england_n be_v bring_v up_o and_o practise_v by_o authority_n of_o man_n without_o any_o precept_n or_o rule_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o custom_n of_o pay_v tithe_n in_o england_n be_v a_o evil_a custom_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v abolish_v that_o can_v right_o be_v call_v a_o free_a gift_n to_o god_n or_o to_o this_o minister_n which_o be_v by_o a_o strong_a hand_n and_o compulsion_n take_v from_o man_n but_o tithe_n be_v by_o a_o strong_a hand_n and_o compulsion_n take_v from_o man_n therefore_o tithe_n can_v be_v call_v a_o free_a gift_n to_o god_n or_o to_o his_o minister_n but_o i_o intend_v brevity_n and_o not_o to_o trouble_v the_o reader_n with_o tautology_n or_o
