upon_o rent_n they_o take_v it_o from_o a_o good_a title_n and_o interest_n if_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a estate_n without_o any_o encumbrance_n and_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o receive_v the_o profit_n which_o they_o pay_v rend_v for_o because_o the_o letter_n have_v a_o good_a title_n in_o the_o land_n and_o the_o farmer_n bestow_v his_o labour_n and_o charge_n upon_o it_o and_o these_o be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a right_n both_o in_o the_o letter_n and_o the_o farmer_n and_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o reason_n and_o equity_n as_o a_o branch_n be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o root_n that_o bear_v it_o but_o tithe_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o land_n labour_n and_o charge_n of_o another_o which_o be_v no_o way_n agreeable_a to_o reason_n and_o equity_n and_o though_o many_o disputation_n and_o argument_n have_v be_v and_o yet_o be_v maintain_v to_o uphold_v they_o some_o by_o divine_a right_n and_o some_o by_o humane_a right_n yet_o the_o matter_n be_v determine_v in_o a_o few_o word_n for_o since_o christ_n disannule_v the_o commandment_n under_o the_o law_n tithe_n have_v never_o be_v pay_v by_o divine_a right_n and_o no_o humane_a power_n can_v make_v they_o of_o right_a due_a unto_o any_o man_n whatsoever_o so_o christ_n have_v end_v the_o payment_n of_o tithe_n as_o to_o the_o jew_n observation_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o command_n for_o they_o to_o be_v pay_v under_o the_o gospel-dispensation_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v now_o introduce_v by_o some_o frame_a invention_n and_o that_o can_v be_v a_o ground_n to_o force_v the_o payment_n of_o they_o and_o we_o that_o be_v call_v quaker_n have_v well_o weigh_v these_o thing_n in_o the_o light_n with_o which_o christ_n jesus_n have_v enlighten_v we_o in_o which_o light_n we_o have_v see_v his_o come_n and_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n and_o first_o covenant_n by_o his_o come_n and_o a_o necessity_n be_v lay_v upon_o we_o to_o confess_v his_o come_n and_o we_o be_v satisfy_v that_o neither_o priest_n nor_o impropriator_n have_v a_o good_a interest_n in_o tithe_n under_o the_o gospel-administration_n we_o do_v not_o deny_v they_o from_o any_o opinion_n conceit_n or_o self-end_n as_o some_o will_v charge_v we_o but_o in_o love_n to_o christ_n jesus_n who_o have_v give_v his_o testimony_n free_o to_o we_o and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v tithe_n from_o any_o opinion_n conceit_n or_o self-end_n for_o we_o suffer_v imprisonment_n many_o year_n together_o at_o a_o great_a charge_n and_o loss_n of_o time_n and_o many_o have_v suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o natural_a life_n by_o such_o imprisonment_n and_o we_o suffer_v the_o spoil_n and_o loss_n of_o our_o good_n to_o the_o value_n of_o many_o pound_n whereas_o a_o few_o shilling_n may_v satisfy_v if_o we_o can_v willing_o pay_v our_o tithe_n so_o that_o only_a conscience_n sake_n towards_o god_n be_v the_o ground_n why_o we_o deny_v they_o and_o it_o be_v opinion_n conceit_n and_o self-end_n in_o such_o as_o take_v they_o and_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v in_o what_o william_n pocklington_n have_v do_v concern_v william_n smith_n upon_o that_o very_a account_n and_o also_o in_o what_o many_o priest_n and_o impropriator_n have_v do_v as_o to_o many_o other_o who_o be_v faithful_a in_o their_o testimony_n unto_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o now_o william_n
