<HEAD>THE PREFACE TO THE READER.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE><HI>Friendly</HI> Reader;</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>THE following matter being an Account of the di&s;training and taking away of the Goods of &s;ome of us, the People called <HI>Quakers</HI> in the City of <HI>London,</HI> becau&s;e we refu&s;ed to pay unto the Pari&s;h Prie&s;ts Tythes or certain Sums of Money, in Law called <HI>Tythes;</HI> We, the &s;aid People, &s;hall in Chri&s;tian Ten|derne&s;s and Plainne&s;s render &s;ome <HI>Chri&s;tian Rea&s;ons</HI> why we cannot pay or give Tythes to the Pari&s;h Prie&s;ts or Mini&s;ters.</P>
<P><HI>Fir&s;t,</HI> We are not Unbelieving <HI>Jews,</HI> but Real <HI>Chri|&s;tians,</HI> therefore we cannot give or pay them Tythes. God commanded Tythes to be paid under the Di&s;pen|&s;ation of the Law, which came by <HI>Mo&s;es,</HI> and tho&s;e Tythes were ordained for the Relief of the Widows, Fatherle&s;s and Strangers, as well as for the Prie&s;ts. This command for paying and receiving Tythes, as afore&s;aid, continued in force among&s;t the <HI>Jews,</HI> till our Lord Je&s;us Chri&s;t came in the Fle&s;h, and had of|fered him&s;elf up through the Eternal Spirit; who by his One Offering put an End to the Prie&s;thood of <HI>Aaron</HI> and <HI>Levi,</HI> together with their Temple and Tythes, and all the re&s;t of the Shadowy Offerings and Services:
<PB N="4" REF="3"> And as the Apo&s;tle &s;aid, <HI>God di&s;annulled this Command|ment for the Weakne&s;s and Unprofitablene&s;s thereof; for the Law made nothing Perfect,</HI> &amp;c. <HI>For &s;uch an High-Prie&s;t becometh us, who is holy, Harmele&s;s, Separate from Sinners, &amp;c.</HI> &s;ee Heb. 7.18, 19, 26. And again, <HI>The Prie&s;thood being changed, there is made of nece&s;&s;ity a change of the Law,</HI> Ver&s;. 12. So Chri&s;t by his One Offering hath Ended this Di&s;pen&s;ation of Tything above Six|teen Hundred Years &s;ince. But when this Com|mand was in Force, it was only to the Natural <HI>Jews,</HI> and therefore no Concern of ours, who are by Nature <HI>Gentiles.</HI></P>
<P><HI>Secondly,</HI> Chri&s;t, who ended this <HI>Jewi&s;h</HI> Di&s;pen&s;a|tion of Tything, did not &s;et up Tythes again in the Go&s;pel Di&s;pen&s;ation, either among <HI>Jews</HI> or <HI>Gentiles,</HI> for the Maintenance of his Mini&s;ters, (nor for any other u&s;e) but contrarywi&s;e commanded his Mini|&s;ters, &s;aying, <HI>Freely ye have received, Freely give, &amp;c. and who&s;oever &s;hall not hear you, nor receive your Words, when you depart out of that Hou&s;e or City, &s;hake off the Du&s;t of your Feet,</HI> Mat. 10.7, 14. Again, <HI>But into what &s;o|ever City ye enter, and they receive you, eat &s;uch Things as are &s;et before you, &amp;c. But into what&s;oever City you enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the Streets of the &s;ame, and &s;ay, Even the very Du&s;t of your City, which cleaveth to us, we do wipe off again&s;t you,</HI> Luke 10.8, 10, 11. Thus it plainly appears, that Chri&s;t's Command was and is, to preach or mini&s;ter Freely as they then had, and &s;uch now have, received Freely; and tho&s;e who are truly his Mini&s;ters, do keep this his Command; and &s;uch have Power in Chri&s;t to eat &s;uch as is &s;et before them, by tho&s;e who do receive them, but not to take Tythes or Sums of Money, for
<PB N="5" REF="3"> preaching, from tho&s;e who do not receive, believe nor own their Te&s;timony, nor Sue them at the Law, to take away or Spoil their Goods, becau&s;e they refu&s;e to pay them. This Practice of the afore&s;aid Prie&s;ts is contrary to both Law and Go&s;pel. For when the <HI>Jews</HI> broke the Law of God in not bringing Tythes into his Store-Hou&s;e, we do not read, nor believe, that God did impower Magi&s;trates to give Warrants to the Prie&s;ts, under the Law, to di&s;train or take away their Goods for the &s;ame, nor to take Double or Trebble the Value of the Tythes then Due; nor to Impri&s;on and Op|pre&s;s the Bodies of &s;uch Offenders; neither was it then &s;aid, that &s;uch Offenders did Rob the Prie&s;ts, but that they Robbed God; neither were the Prie&s;ts, or Magi&s;trates to puni&s;h them for this Robbery; but the Power of puni&s;hing of the&s;e, the great God re|&s;erved in him&s;elf, and he Bla&s;ted or Cur&s;ed the Fruits of the Earth, as a Puni&s;hment for their Rebel|lion, &amp;c. &s;ee <HI>Mal.</HI> 3. <HI>Deut.</HI> 28.38, 39, 40.</P>
<P><HI>Objection,</HI> Some perhaps may object from the A|po&s;tles words, on the behalf of the afore&s;aid Prie&s;ts of <HI>London,</HI> and &s;ay, <HI>Who goeth a Warfare any time at his own Charge? Who planteth a Vineyard, and eateth not of the Fruit thereof? Who feedeth a Flock, and eateth not of the Milk of the Flock? If we &s;ow unto you Spiritual Things, is it a great matter if we &s;hall reap of your Carnal Things?</HI></P>
<P><HI>An&s;wer,</HI> What the Apo&s;tle &s;aith in this Ca&s;e we own; but this is not the Ca&s;e betwixt us and the Prie&s;ts afore&s;aid; for, <HI>Fir&s;t,</HI> Tho&s;e Prie&s;ts do not go to War for us, but again&s;t us; therefore we ought not to bear the Charge of this their Evil War.</P>
<PB N="6" REF="4">
<P><HI>Secondly,</HI> They have not planted us a Vineyard or Church unto God; but we being planted of God, they have laboured, and do labour to &s;catter us by their Cruelties and Oppre&s;&s;ion; therefore they ought not to have a Reward from us, for whom they do not work.</P>
<P><HI>Thirdly,</HI> They do not feed us, who are the Flock of God, but on the contrary; their Works again&s;t us have been, and are, to &s;eek to weaken, &s;tarve and &s;catter us from the Fold of our great Shepherd <HI>Chri&s;t Je&s;us:</HI> But Glory to God, through him, he keeps us, who is &s;tronger then them all, by whom we are gathered, pre&s;erved, fed and brought to Peace and Re&s;t in him.</P>
<P><HI>Fourthly,</HI> The&s;e Prie&s;ts have not &s;own, nor do &s;ow unto us Spiritual Things, but on the contrary; the Fruits of the Fle&s;h, which is Covetou&s;ne&s;s, &amp;c. they have &s;own in a plentious manner, to our great Wrong and Injury; therefore we cannot own them as Mini|&s;ters of Chri&s;t, nor con&s;ent to give our Sub&s;tance to maintain them as &s;uch; but we have true Love to them, and all men, and we could feed them as our Enemies, if we knew they had need thereof (though we cannot feed them as the Mini&s;ters of Chri&s;t, we not believing them to be &s;uch; and that which the more confirms us in our Belief, that they are not &s;uch, is their be|ing found in direct Oppo&s;ition to the Command of Chri&s;t, who &s;aith, <HI>Freely ye have received, Freely give;</HI> and contrary to the Doctrine and Example of the Mini&s;ters of Chri&s;t, both in their Maintenance and Conver&s;ation.</P>
<P>Ag<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">in, the Apo&s;tle <HI>Peter</HI> writ unto the Elders of the Church of Chri&s;t, &s;aying, <HI>The Elders which
<PB N="7" REF="4"> are among you, I exhort, who am al&s;o an Elder, and a Witne&s;s of the Sufferings of Chri&s;t, and al&s;o a Partaker of the Glory that &s;hall be revealed, Feed the Flock of God, which is among you, taking the Over-&s;ight thereof not by Con&s;traint, but Willingly; Not for filthy Lucre, but of a ready Mind; Neither as being Lords over God's Heritage, but being En&s;amples to the Flock;</HI> &s;ee 1 Pet. 5.1, 2, 3.</P>
<P><HI>Fir&s;t,</HI> Ob&s;erve, the Apo&s;tle <HI>Peter</HI> and the re&s;t of the Elders of the Church of Chri&s;t were made SUCH by Chri&s;t him&s;elf, who endued them with Power from on High, for the great Work of the Mini|&s;try; and by the &s;ame means are all the Elders of the Church of Chri&s;t made at this Day.</P>
<P><HI>Secondly,</HI> The true Mini&s;ters and Elders of the Church of Chri&s;t do take the Over-&s;ight thereof not by Con&s;traint, but Willingly: God makes them wil|ling to preach Freely, according to Chri&s;t's Com|mand; they do not take the over-&s;ight of the Flock for filthy Lucre, but of a ready Mind. <HI>Note,</HI> The word <HI>Lucre</HI> &s;ignifies <HI>Gain;</HI> and <HI>filthy Lucre</HI> is <HI>Gain ill gotten:</HI> Now that Gain that is gotten in breaking the Com|mand of Chri&s;t is not well, but ill gotten; and &s;uch is that Gain of the Per&s;ons before-mentioned, which is gotten as afore&s;aid.</P>
<P><HI>Thirdly,</HI> The true Elders and Mini&s;ters of Chri&s;t neither were, nor are, Lords over God's Heritage, but good En&s;amples to the Flock; and becau&s;e the Per&s;ons before-mentioned do not abide in the Do|ctrine of Chri&s;t, neither follow the Doctrine or Ex|ample of his holy Apo&s;tles and Elders in their Call, Mini&s;try, Maintenance and Cover&s;ation, therefore we cannot e&s;teem them the true Mini&s;ters and Elders
<PB N="8" REF="5"> &s;et up by Chri&s;t; and therefore we cannot give them of our outward Sub&s;tance to uphold them as &s;uch. The Apo&s;tle <HI>Paul</HI> &s;aith, <HI>There were many in his day, who taught that which they ought not for filthy Lucres &s;ake;</HI> &s;ee Tit. 1.11. And we have ju&s;t cau&s;e to &s;ay, there are many &s;uch in our day; but the Lord is di&s;covering them daily more and more, and he will bring the&s;e their Evil Works to an End, in his ap|pointed Sea&s;on, which ha&s;tens on apace; and in the mean time we are chearfully given up to &s;uffer what|ever the Lord permits our Adver&s;aries to inflict upon us for the Exerci&s;e of our tender Con&s;ciences to him.</P>

<PB N="45" REF="23"> But the Pen-men of that Law &s;uppo&s;ing there might be a De|nyal in the <HI>Majors</HI> of <HI>London</HI> to do that, would appoint other Per&s;ons to execute &s;uch Service on the <HI>Majors</HI> Refu&s;al to act in that matter, as by the &s;ame Statute may appear.</P>
<P>And the cu&s;tomary manner of the <HI>Pari&s;h Prie&s;ts</HI> is, That when they have a Warrant to make Di&s;tre&s;s, they or their A|gents take and carry away out of our Hou&s;es, Goods and Wares two, three, four, five, &s;ix, or &s;ometimes ten times the value of the Moneys in Demand; and this without making any Apprai&s;ment before they carry them thence, contrary to the U&s;e and Cu&s;tom of all Legal Executions and Di&s;tre&s;&s;es what&s;oever. And the Con&s;table who is A&s;&s;i&s;tant, not one in the <HI>Pari&s;h, Precinct</HI> or <HI>Ward,</HI> but commonly &s;ome unknown forreign Deputy-Con&s;table. The Goods are generally carried into &s;ome Ale-hou&s;e, or &s;uch like place, and there have been apprai&s;ed at half or third part the value. Sometimes they return their Over-plus, but with Deduction of Charges equal to a Tryal in <HI>Guildhall;</HI> and very often neither make Re&s;toration of Over-plus, nor give Accompt to the Party how they have apprai&s;ed or di&s;po&s;ed of his Goods.</P>
<P>Upon a Di&s;tre&s;s made, a Prie&s;t for 69 s. in demand took and carried away a Hundred and Fifty Pounds worth of Goods to his own Hou&s;e without Apprai&s;ment; of which a late L. Major having account, immediately commanded an Officer to cau&s;e the Goods di&s;trained to be brought to him, which was done accordingly, and an Apprai&s;ment of part of the Goods was t<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ere made, and the Over-plus Goods returned to the di&s;tre&s;&s;ed Party.</P>
<P>And know for a certain Truth, That it is to keep our Con&s;ci|ences void of Offence towards God, that we cannot pay this <HI>forced Maintenance,</HI> therefore can with all Freedom &s;uffer the <HI>Spoiling of our Goods,</HI> and that with Joy in our Souls to God|wards: Yet are willing to lay the Unequal Dealing of our Ad|ver&s;aries before the Magi&s;trate, who &s;hould not hold the Sword in vain.</P>
