And, besides all these, they have their particular enormi- ties ; for all Irish priests, which now enjoy Church livings, they are in a manner mere laymen, saving that they have taken h...oly orders : but otherwise they do go and live like laymen, follow all kind of hus- bandry, and other worldly affairs, as other Irishmen do. They neither read the Scriptures nor preach to the people, nor administer the Communion ; but baptism they do : for they christen yet after the popish fashion. Only they take the tythes and offerings, and gather what fruit else they may of their livings, the which they convert as badly ; arid some of them, they say, pay as due tributes and shares of their livings to their bishops, (I speak of those which are Irish, ) as they receive them duly.
