nor_o the_o pastor_n and_o minister_n on_o the_o other_o side_n must_v the_o parishioner_n pay_v the_o ten_o penny_n of_o their_o labour_n i_o answer_v no_o neither_o be_v labour_v man_n that_o live_v only_o by_o their_o mere_a labour_n to_o pay_v tithe_n in_o the_o country_n they_o do_v not_o therefore_o not_o in_o the_o city_n or_o town_n but_o if_o those_o labour_a man_n or_o woman_n have_v a_o
