What reafonable Man would defire more than to ajk and have ? Or in cafe of Difpute, to prove his Claim and recover it ? Is not this the ufual Method of afcertaining the Tithe ? And can any Way be more plain and eafy for the Vicar ? But the Obfervery to make jQhew of a Myftery, where none is, proceeds upon a Suppolition of the Far- mer's having robb'd the Vicar, and concealed or taken away his fmall tithes ; a Thing fcarce prac- ticable in any confiderable Quantity : For how can he conceal the T...ithe, without concealing alfo the Things titheable ? which are generally of too publick a Nature to efcape the Notice of other People. Is not the Recovery of his hjown Claim by a fhort and eafy Method, far more agreeable to the CharaEler of a peaceable and good Natur'd Clergyman, than the facrificing, upon a bare Surmije of imaginary Concealments^ his own and his Neighbour's Quiet by a vexa- tious Law-Suit, for the Recovery of he btows not what ? This, we apprehend, is the true State of the Ca/e y and th^it the Hard/hip is not on the Vicar, who is peculiarly favoured with an ea/y Method for Recovery of his known Claim ; but on the poor ^aker or Farmery who ftands expofed and liable to unnceffary and ruinous Pro- fecutions at the Will of an angry and contentious Prieft, not only for real Claims, which, were he ( loi ) he fo difpofed, he might recover without them, but alfo upon meer Surmife and Conjedure.
