who_o work_v upon_o the_o material_n which_o have_v pay_v tithe_n before_o 6._o tithe_n therefore_o increase_v within_o any_o territory_n as_o the_o labour_n of_o that_o country_n increase_v and_o labour_n do_v or_o aught_o to_o increase_v as_o the_o people_n do_v now_o within_o four_o hundred_o year_n the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v about_o quadruple_v as_o double_v every_o two_o hundred_o year_n and_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o rent_n of_o all_o the_o land_n in_o england_n be_v about_o the_o four_o part_n of_o the_o expense_n of_o the_o people_n in_o it_o so_o as_o the_o other_o three_o part_n be_v labour_n and_o stock_n 7._o wherefore_o the_o tithe_n now_o shall_v be_v twelve_o time_n as_o good_a as_o they_o be_v four_o hundred_o year_n ago_o which_o the_o rate_n of_o benefice_n in_o the_o king_n book_n do_v pretty_a well_o show_v by_o compare_v of_o time_n something_o of_o this_o shall_v be_v abate_v because_o the_o proportion_n between_o the_o proceed_v of_o land_n and_o labour_n do_v vary_v as_o the_o hand_n of_o labourer_n vary_v wherefore_o we_o shall_v rather_o say_v that_o the_o tithe_n be_v but_o six_o time_n as_o good_a now_o as_o four_o hundred_o year_n ago_o that_o be_v that_o the_o tithe_n now_o will_v pay_v six_o time_n as_o many_o labourer_n or_o feed_v six_o time_n as_o many_o mouth_n as_o the_o tithe_n four_o hundred_o year_n ago_o will_v have_v do_v 8._o now_o if_o there_o be_v not_o only_o as_o many_o parish_n then_o as_o now_o more_o priest_n in_o every_o parish_n and_o also_o more_o religious_a man_n who_o be_v also_o

about_o the_o dead_a it_o seem_v clear_a that_o the_o clergy_n now_o be_v far_o rich_a than_o heretofore_o and_o that_o to_o be_v a_o clergyman_n than_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o mortification_n whereas_o now_o praise_v be_v god_n it_o be_v matter_n of_o splendour_n and_o magnificence_n unless_o any_o will_v say_v that_o there_o be_v golden_a priest_n when_o the_o chalice_n be_v wood_n and_o but_o wooden_a priest_n when_o the_o chalice_n be_v gold_n or_o that_o religion_n best_o flourish_v when_o the_o priest_n be_v most_o mortify_v as_o be_v before_o say_v of_o the_o law_n which_o best_o

out_o will_v receive_v that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o there_o be_v place_n but_o for_o about_o twelve_o thousand_o in_o england_n and_o wales_n it_o will_v not_o be_v safe_a to_o breed_v up_o 24000._o minister_n upon_o a_o view_n or_o conceit_n that_o the_o church_n mean_v otherwise_o distribute_v may_v suffice_v they_o all_o for_o then_o the_o twelve_o thousand_o which_o be_v unprovided_a for_o will_v seek_v way_n how_o to_o get_v themselves_o a_o livelihood_n which_o they_o can_v do_v more_o easy_o then_o by_o persuade_v the_o people_n that_o the_o twelve_o thousand_o incumbent_n do_v
