A91653	The reply of the hamlet of Wapping to the answer of the rector to their Case and petition and likewise to The case of the church-wardens of White-chappel.		1694 (1694)	Wing R1048A; ESTC R42400	2,514	1

the_o reply_n of_o the_o hamlet_n of_o wapping_n to_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o reactor_n to_o their_o case_n and_o petition_n and_o likewise_o to_o the_o case_n of_o the_o churchwarden_n of_o white-chappel_n the_o rector_n have_v be_v please_v in_o answer_n to_o our_o case_n to_o contradict_v many_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v assert_v wherefore_o we_o think_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o vindicate_v our_o truth_n and_o do_v therefore_o crave_v leave_n to_o reply_v to_o his_o answer_n first_o answer_n the_o chapel_n have_v no_o such_o settle_a fund_z to_o maintain_v it_o in_o repair_n as_o be_v intimate_v in_o the_o rector_n answer_n whereas_o he_o allege_v that_o our_o bill_n be_v not_o to_o enlarge_v our_o chapel_n that_o we_o have_v a_o fund_z from_o the_o burial_n to_o keep_v it_o in_o repair_n etc._n etc._n the_o contrary_a of_o which_o be_v manifest_a since_o he_o himself_o claim_v and_o receive_v duty_n for_o all_o funeral_n both_o in_o chappel-yard_n and_o chapel_n and_o all_o that_o be_v pay_v for_o every_o corpse_n bury_v in_o the_o chancel_n though_o he_o contribute_v nothing_o to_o its_o repair_n and_o though_o every_o funeral_n pay_v to_o the_o chapel_n yet_o this_o be_v so_o far_o from_o produce_v a_o stock_n or_o fund_z that_o the_o chapel_n notwithstanding_o voluntary_a contribution_n be_v at_o present_a much_o in_o debt_n and_o we_o can_v legal_o raise_v by_o any_o tax_n one_o penny_n towards_o either_o the_o payment_n of_o its_o debt_n or_o keep_v it_o in_o repair_n and_o therefore_o unless_o make_v parochial_a it_o must_v inevitable_o fall_v and_o so_o render_v the_o inhabitant_n destitute_a of_o any_o place_n of_o public_a worship_n the_o church_n of_o white_a chapel_n be_v incapable_a as_o be_v not_o deny_v by_o the_o rector_n in_o his_o case_n to_o contain_v one_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o parishioner_n second_o suggest_v the_o minister_n have_v no_o such_o endowment_n as_o be_v suggest_v he_o affirm_v that_o our_o minister_n have_v a_o competent_a maintenance_n by_o endowment_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o several_a house_n in_o all_o worth_n six_o or_o seven_o score_n pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la etc._n etc._n which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v his_o condition_n that_o all_o the_o endowment_n he_o have_v be_v but_o eight_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la be_v the_o rent_n of_o one_o house_n which_o likewise_o he_o hold_v by_o the_o courtesy_n of_o the_o trustee_n and_o his_o dependence_n beside_o be_v on_o the_o voluntary_a contribution_n of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v most_o uncertain_a be_v yet_o at_o best_a not_o above_o seventy_o or_o seventy_o five_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o which_o he_o preach_v twice_o every_o lord_n day_n read_v prayer_n every_o day_n in_o the_o week_n and_o perform_v all_o other_o ministerial_a office_n as_o visit_v the_o sick_a etc._n etc._n so_o that_o its_o far_o unlike_o a_o lecture_n and_o therefore_o not_o so_o desirable_a when_o vacant_a as_o represent_v by_o the_o rector_n three_o ease_n wapping_n not_o like_o the_o case_n of_o other_o chapple_v of_o ease_n he_o instance_v that_o we_o have_v always_o pay_v tithe_n to_o the_o rector_n of_o white-chappel_n as_o be_v do_v in_o all_o chapel_n of_o ease_n in_o england_n and_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v many_o hundred_o of_o such_o chapel_n in_o the_o nation_n and_o that_o the_o make_v wapping_n a_o parish_n will_v be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o impropriator_n etc._n etc._n but_o contrary_a to_o this_o the_o three_o kingdom_n do_v afford_v instead_o of_o hundred_o hardly_o any_o such_o instance_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n viz_o 1._o where_o the_o parish_n be_v so_o large_a that_o the_o mother_n church_n can_v contain_v a_o ten_o part_n of_o its_o inhabitant_n 2._o where_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o chapelry_n can_v raise_v a_o penny_n towards_o the_o repair_n of_o the_o chapel_n 3._o where_o the_o minister_n have_v not_o endow_v maintenance_n nor_o the_o allowance_n of_o a_o farthing_n from_o so_o rich_a a_o rectory_n 4._o where_o the_o rector_n do_v whole_o neglect_v the_o pastoral_n care_n 5._o where_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o chapetry_n be_v in_o propo●…_n much_o poor_a than_o those_o of_o the_o parish_n at_o large_a and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o hamlet_n of_o wapping_n and_o as_o to_o the_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o impropriator_n there_o be_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o a_o impropriation_n which_o be_v a_o lay_v fee_fw-mi and_o a_o rectory_n with_o cure_n of_o soul_n which_o be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a benefice_n so_o that_o this_o can_v no_o more_o affect_v impropriation_n than_o the_o separate_a shadwell_n from_o stepney_n a_o neighbour_a parish_n do_v which_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n about_o the_o year_n 1670_o be_v make_v parochial_a allow_v the_o vicar_n of_o stepney_n but_o four_o nobles_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o lieu_n of_o his_o tithe_n four_o rebuilt_a the_o rent_n of_o wapping_n fall_v yet_o the_o rector_n keep_v up_o his_o rate_n tithe_n and_o advance_v they_o arbitrary_o on_o house_n rebuilt_a he_o urge_v that_o several_a of_o the_o new_a house_n build_v in_o that_o parish_n have_v drop_v down_o and_o that_o the_o old_a house_n have_v fall_v in_o their_o rent_n etc._n etc._n the_o probability_n of_o the_o former_a part_n we_o leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n and_o as_o to_o the_o late_a whatever_o house_n do_v in_o white-chappel_n this_o be_v so_o true_a in_o respect_n of_o wapping_n as_o to_o all_o the_o house_n in_o general_n that_o those_o which_o be_v former_o let_v at_o 25_o l._n 20_o l._n or_o 16_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n be_v now_o reduce_v to_o 18_o l._n 12_o l._n and_o 10_o l._n per_fw-la ann._n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o rector_n have_v not_o diminish_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o rate_n tithe_n on_o those_o house_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a have_v take_v opportunity_n to_o advance_v they_o on_o any_o house_n new_o build_v or_o divide_v tax_v they_o arbitrary_o what_o he_o think_v fit_a as_o to_o the_o present_a worth_n of_o the_o rectory_n we_o be_v willing_a to_o refer_v ourselves_o to_o his_o own_o book_n five_o white-chappel_n the_o hamlet_z not_o a_o four_o part_n and_o poor_a in_o proportion_n than_o white-chappel_n he_o say_v the_o hamlet_z of_o wapping_n be_v above_o a_o three_o part_n of_o the_o parish_n that_o they_o be_v above_o a_o mile_n by_o the_o waterside_n be_v account_v a_o wealthy_a people_n etc._n etc._n to_o which_o we_o must_v answer_v more_o true_o as_o we_o have_v already_o set_v forth_o that_o we_o be_v not_o one_o four_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a and_o be_v but_o little_a above_o half_a a_o mile_n of_o statute-measure_n by_o the_o waterside_n and_o the_o house_n scituate_n there_o be_v burden_v with_o vast_a charge_n in_o keep_v up_o their_o dam_n or_o fence_n towards_o the_o water_n and_o be_v late_o fall_v near_o a_o three_o part_n in_o their_o rent_n through_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o rich_a inhabitant_n into_o the_o new_a building_n of_o white-chappel_n and_o other_o place_n so_o far_o be_v we_o from_o that_o great_a trade_n and_o wealth_n as_o be_v untrue_o intimate_v and_o as_o to_o the_o hamlet_n in_o general_n through_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o poor_a of_o seman_n widow_n orphan_n etc._n etc._n the_o hamlet_n be_v so_o impoverish_v that_o whereas_o about_o twenty_o year_n ago_o three_o be_v not_o overcess_n for_o the_o poor_a and_o about_o fourteen_o year_n ago_o 30_o or_o 40_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la at_o most_o do_v defray_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o accidental_a poor_a now_o our_o overcess_n be_v advance_v to_o 200_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la as_o to_o the_o case_n of_o the_o churchwarden_n way_n the_o pave_a wapping-street_n the_o charge_n of_o the_o sewer_n and_o the_o loss_n of_o public_a charity_n will_v more_o than_o compensate_a their_o contribution_n to_o the_o high_a way_n the_o hamlet_n of_o wapping_n represent_v as_o before_o that_o a_o consideration_n be_v have_v to_o the_o daily_a growth_n of_o white-chappel_n to_o the_o vast_a charge_n of_o wapping_n in_o pave_v their_o own_o highway_n their_o great_a expense_n on_o the_o common_a sewer_n and_o their_o outlet_n and_o to_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o proportion_n of_o public_a charity_n give_v to_o the_o parish_n at_o large_a it_o will_v appear_v that_o white-chappel_n instead_o of_o a_o detriment_n will_v receive_v a_o advantage_n the_o inhabitant_n of_o wapping_n therefore_o humble_o beg_v this_o honourable_a house_n to_o promote_v this_o good_a and_o just_a design_n in_o make_v they_o a_o parish_n without_o such_o reserve_v as_o be_v desire_v in_o the_o rector_n and_o churchwarden_n case_n and_o
