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

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

have_v believe_v he_o but_o because_o he_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n therefore_o this_o man_n refer_v i_o to_o jerom_n and_o beza_n as_o if_o their_o testimony_n be_v sufficient_a to_o satisfy_v i_o where_o the_o scripture_n be_v silent_a the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n say_v only_o let_v he_o that_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o word_n communicate_v unto_o he_o that_o teach_v he_o in_o all_o
