condemne them but rather Let euery one that wisheth well vnto the church that hath a loue vnto the cleargie and desireth the prosperity and furtherance of the Gospell amongst vs ioyne his hand with ours in this so holy aad necessarie a worke and helpe what hee may to pull vp by the rootes these noxious weedes and pestiferous plants with our heauenly Father neuer planted assured so long as they stand the church can not but fal and the more they do increase and grow the more will both learning and religion fade and decay We craue herein no other fauour nor benefit then such as in like cases others haue obtained at full and then can by no iust reason and sufficient cause bee denied vs and therefore doe hope we shall at length though with much importunitie obtaine The yeilding whereof and so the restoring vs all our tithes in Kind would yeild vs these great needfull and present commodities 1. The minister should haue in most places a sufficient Liuing the on halfe whereof and more many tymes his parishnors by your customes prescriptions c. deteine from him 2. The Condition of all places would bee alike whereas now a man knowes not what his liuing is how great soeuer the parish be till he know what customes and prescriptions c. are there which commonly the greater the parish is the worse and the more they are 3. We should be the better able to keepe Hospitalitie and releeue the poore 4. Wee should bee well able to paie to the Kings Maiestie his Tenthes and Subsidies which now to many of vs is a burthen heauie to bee borne 5. Wee should with the better ease bee able to forbeare that whereof there is great neede but little hope the Restoring I meane of Impropriations while as the rest paide vs in kinde if the Composition for the Vycaridge bee any thing indifferent would of it selfe for the most part be a tollerable maintenance 6. Suytes for Tithes would be both fewer and easier For neyther would they be so lyable to the common law nor could they be so clogged with odious and sencelesse prohibitions as now they are These motiues beeing so reasonable the spoiles and losses which other waies we do sustaine so great little can our people doe for vs if in part of recompence they cannot finde in their hearts these onely viz our Tithes in kinde to restore vnto vs at full Fourthly and lastly many times we are by couetous and contentious persons denied our dues and in forced if we will haue ought to recouer it by force of Law But then good Lord what a Labyrinth of labours what an heape of mischiefes and perills by vexations and troubles by combinations and plots by expense and charge by losse of time and study distraction of minde and distast of men doe we cast our selues into that better were it many times for vs to haue lost more then we sought to recouer then to haue attempted it and too late doe we repent our infortunate course Wherein we aboue all the members of this common wealth aboue all the Inhabitants of this land may iustly bewaile our miserie and hard condition for that whereas for our office and callings sake verie fit and necessarie it were that our things might so plainely and peaceably be setled vnto vs that we might not need to goe to law for them at all or if through the peruersenesse of men that sometime be requisite that we might be dispatched with such fauour and ease both to our bodies and our purses as might not either weary out the one or wast out the other nor distract vs from the performance of our duties Now alas so are we vexed with long and tedious suites so are we crossed with Prohibitions and Consultations so are we remooued from one court to another so are we driuen from one law to another so are we consumed and exhausted with trauell and expenses as if either men delighted aboue other to vexe vs or cared little what wrong and despite is done vs or were agreed by such extremities so to handle and encomber vs as either they would wring from vs or we should be weary of altogether this being the ordinary euent of our trials let the case and cause be neuer so plaine and iust that we must returne by loosers lane or beggers bush Happie therefore were we in dieb illis when our causes in manner all were tried within our owne Consistories and we needed seldome to goe farther for triall of our right by day then we could returne home againe at night when ordinarily the charge of a suite was fewer shillings then now it is pounds and the time not aboue so many moneths as now yeares when Prohibitions were as rare as now they are common and the statutes on which they are grounded had either their names not knowne or their sense otherwise deliuered We deny not but that some Prohibitions P. de iure be necessarie as a pale or partition wall betwixt the 2. Iurisdictions ecclesiasticall and temporall to keepe as banks each riuer within its owne channell each cause within its owne court and we easily grant that there is and must be a twofold Iurisdiction But till the one bee so confined and limited that it intrude not nor vsurpe vpon the other and which is the thing we specially complaine of vntill the meanes of Limitation bee onely such or at least onely so vsed as may performe their proper and right vse and originall intention and bee not made as Prohibitions de facto commonly fall out to be as sluces that conuey all water to one Mill meanes to bring all causes into one Court wee can hope of no tollerable condition nor acknowledge that men doe to vs as they would be done vnto So that to conclude better were it for vs rebus sic stantibus that our causes for Tythes were translated wholly from the one into the other iurisdiction For then should we not be enforced as now full oft without any iust cause Iasonlike to runne hither and thither to trie and take them vp peece-meale and so at least our vexation would somewhat bee diminished our vndoing would the longer be deferred These Christian Reader these I say be some and but some of those hard measures and vnequall dealings which are offered to vs of the Ministerie Which who so well considereth off must needs acknowledge that that rule of Equitie which should guide and order all mens actions is little obserued toward vs that few they be that doe to vs as they would if the case were theirs looke to be done vnto and the most part are toward vs aboue others most carelesse of rendring vnto vs that double honour that condigne regard and reward which the Lawes of God and Nature the rule of Equitie and true Iustice requireth at their hands Oh that England England I say would once awake out of this sinfull sleepe open her eyes to
