A Gospel Plea For The Lawfulness & Continuance Of the Antient Setled Maintenance and Tenths Of the Ministers of the Gospel : In Two Parts Proving That there is a Just, Competent, Comfor- table Maintenance due to all Lawfull painfull Prea- chers & Ministers of the Gospel, by Divine Right, Institution, & express Texts, Precepts of the Gospel : That Glebes & Tithes are such a Maintenance, & due to Ministers by Divine Right, Law, Gos- pel : That if substracted or detained, they may lawfully be inforced by Coercive Laws and Penalties

That Tithes are no real Burden nor grievance to the people; The abolishing them, no ease or benefit to Farmers, Husbandmen, or poor people, but a Prejudice and Loss. That the present oppostion against Tithes, proceeds not from any real grounds of Conscience, but base Covetousnesse, Carnal policy, hatred to, and a Jesuitical, Anabaptistical design, to subvert, ruine our Ministers, Church, Religion. With a Satisfactory Answer to all Cavils and Material Objections to the contrary
