SIR,•
atn a Country Curate, and as .I usually read
your Paper to my Esquire on a Sunday, after eating
his roast beef, we are both of 'us much disturbed
by the account ypu last gave us, of what the Lords
had said on the Non.reSident Clergy Hill, as they
called it—l from the 'apprehension of losing -my
Curacy ; and the Esquirelas Ire ',vas pleased- to say,
from the fear of losing mw)—...g, Why, Dc tor, says
he, if your Redor Should Come here himself, I shall
have all those fine glebe meadows taken away, that
lie io handy, for the Hall• farm, and warrant- you
we shall pay as. an acre more for our Tithes ; for I
d;tre•say these new Parions will think they ha4e
Nothing else to do except talking at the Vestries,
and ndtqlrithini the Churchwarden's. t' Ten to.' one
bell take away the Church.yard,-which Sister De.
borate says is mighty usefulio,dry the clothes and
milk the cows in, Who,knows, too, but bell per.
htlatie half the Freeholders, who have gone to Has.
rings with our family for this hundred years, to
vote for some new Lnrd, who got,eu.if the Living.
Ilayhap he may'nt know how to make an artificial
Ay, or break a dog, as you do; and if he ,Lives in
London amongst Lords, he'll be too
,proud to bottle
!off the ale with William ; and he .won't go to the
/artners' wakes with Deborah, when 'they be ad,
ing, or dine at christenings. I don't •see, ftir my
parr, what, gi'md these new4fangletnenis, -Cisurcli
-and- State will do, a like she good.old Atatrwhicli
you and the Curate before you gave us. (and Tie .was
here near forty years, and hii,wife made the. best
;gooseberry-wine in the Country) ; for then I COW
lead the Sermon before I went to Church; and then
you know I could understand it , the better. For-
merly the Curate was sure, if he did not kill my
,Lord's game, to get the Living; but now nobody
comes down to the Lords Park, but the Steward'
.or Attorney to raise the tents, and the Livings'
are all given to Lord's. Cousins,
.and, as I've been.
told by neighbour Woodcock,. ate soitetime. put
up to sale in the Newspapers.", •

Here my -worthy !Squire was interrupted. by some
-business, which-took him instantly WA. from his
argument and• his bottle. • Should. he resume it, 1'
will not, fail to communicate to .you itny riew and
Weighty -observations,which may again drop from
him on this subject; and as Tam- to dine at Farmer,
'Somerville's wedding in the week, I shall-ptobably.
'hear what the Parishioners (who are- all desperately
..afraid3hat the Tithes- will be taken up if these Para
suns come) say upon this occasion.
