To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But though thou sowest not to me of thy spirituals, nor do I believe thee to be one who hast any thing spiritual, which can be of any benefit to my spiritual part ; and though thou esteemest me as an heathen man and a publican, and I am excommunicated and cut oflT from any church- fellowship with thee, not for any evil, but as far as I can understand, for not coming to what thou callcst the church, yet thou expect- est to reap of my temporals, because the law of the land has given thee that pow...er ; which disposition to reap where thou hast not sown, and to gather where thou hast not strewn, is far from manifesting a Christian spirit. The priest farther urged some passages out of the New Testament, in vindication of the payment of tithes, alluding to that of the apos- tle, 1 Cor. ix. 7, about sowing of spiritual things unto us ; that it was but a small thing if such received of our carnal things; and that of feeding a flock, and partaking of the milk of the flock; and of planting a vineyard, and eating the fruit thereof: all which I en- deavoured to obviate, by showing, that he did not sow his spirituals to us, so that he might be entitled to our carnal things ; neither were we of that flock which he should partake of the milk of; neither were we a vineyard which he had planted, that he might eat of the fruit thereof.
