amount of his tpoor•rates ereceded the amount of his
tithes by several hundreds a year. This i. the *roe way
to come at the parsons; and this, nnless the matter be,
settled by law, must and will be done all over
England. However, it is very well known, that,.

whole of Me relief of the poor. Why not come
back to this good old custom ? The ordinances of
the Church required, not only that the poor should be
relieved out of tithes, but that the parsons themgelros
should administer the relief with their own /roads
in charily and humility. Our parsons of the presets
day are not such very humble persons. Most of them
are Magistrates as well as parsons. But, the tithes are
still of the same nature ; and we think that the receivers
of tithes would find it very difficult to eler abound ar.

They are always telling us of the antiquity of tithes.
Agreed: but, then the custom of relieving the poor net at
the tithes is equally ancient. That which is sauce for the

utility at this time.
