To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Further, In the eighteenth chapter of Numbers, it is prescribed not only that the Levites should receive tithes from the people, but also that they should them- selves pay tithe to the high-priest. Therefore the clergy are bound to pay tithes to the Sovereign Pontiff, no less than the laity are bound to pay tithes to the clergy. Obj. 4. Further, Tithes should serve not only for the support of the clergy, but also for the assistance of the poor. Therefore, if the clergy are exempt from paying ti...thes, so too are the poor. Yet the latter is not true. Therefore the former is false. On the contrary, A decretal of Pope Paschal II. says: It is a new form of exaction when the clergy demand tithes from the clergy. I answer that, The cause of giving cannot be the cause of receiving, as neither can the cause of action be the cause of passion; yet it happens that one and the same person is giver and receiver, even as agent and patient, on account of different causes and from different points of view.
