In answer to the author of a printed sheet, entituled, An item against sacriledge, or sundry queries concerning tythes. Earnestly tending to a full result, what ought to be done by the now present Parliament concerning tythes. Manifestly proving, that it is no sacriledge for the now present power to remove the laws and authority, whereby tythes, or any other maintenance for the ministery, is informed. Shewing also the dangerous inconveniency that necessarily ensueth, upon forcing maintenance for the ministery, and the unlawfulness of it in the sight of God. By Ellis Bradshaw.

concern_v tithe_n earnest_o tend_v to_o a_o full_a result_n what_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v by_o the_o now_o present_a parliament_n concern_v tithe_n you_o demand_v whether_o the_o ministry_n of_o

reas_n consider_v first_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n why_o the_o king_n give_v they_o to_o wit_n because_o he_o account_v they_o as_o a_o due_a debt_n owe_v to_o god_n and_o not_o because_o they_o

before_o his_o own_o judgement_n seat_n nor_o any_o other_o civil_a judicator_n but_o before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o god_n imply_v that_o he_o do_v not_o account_v it_o as_o a_o matter_n

as_o mal._n 3.8_o he_o expect_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v judge_v he_o for_o that_o himself_o as_o so_o no_o doubt_n but_o his_o prelate_n that_o as_o you_o say_v consent_v to_o the_o business_n have_v admonish_v he_o what_o be_v his_o duty_n in_o that_o respect_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prelate_n in_o those_o day_n be_v that_o tithe_n be_v due_a in_o every_o respect_n conform_v and_o suitable_a to_o the_o judaical_a law_n as_o so_o you_o acknowledge_v and_o say_v that_o the_o text_n and_o body_n of_o the_o common-law_n affirm_v tithe_n to_o be_v due_a jure_fw-la divino_fw-la as_o sir_n edward_n cook_n testify_v in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o report_n so_o that_o you_o do_v acknowledge_v and_o it_o be_v the_o bent_n and_o drift_n of_o those_o query_n to_o prove_v the_o tithe_n due_a to_o the_o ministry_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la arg._n but_o if_o tithe_n be_v due_a jure_fw-la divino_fw-la to_o the_o christian_a minister_n conse_n then_o they_o be_v due_a to_o

divino_fw-la they_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o the_o christian_a minister_n who_o in_o all_o age_n have_v be_v appoint_v as_o his_o chief_a receiver_n of_o any_o thing_n sanctify_v or_o set_v
