THat the Rates for Tithes heretofore were much greater, and sunk thus low as they have been of late years, as by other ways, so especially by Letting Houses at under Rents, with quarterly Fines. 2. That the Tithes thus lessened, are a slender and incompetent Maintenance to invite and encourage persons of such worth, as it is fit the City of London, should from time to time be supplied withal. 3. That these Rates of Tithes thus Diminished, would have been as plentiful a Maintenance an hundred years ago, as the same now doubled. 4. That the shortness of the Settled Maintenance, making voluntary Contributions necessary for a Livelihood, hath been and may be a temptation to Popular Compliances. 5. That the Glebes which were formerly a considerable advance, are since the Fire generally lessened in their Rents two thirds, and the Parsonage and Vicarage Houses being Demolished, they must either be rebuilt with great Charge, or others taken at great Rents. 6. That the Charges of a Family are much greater in the City than elsewhere. 7. That the short and discouraging Maintenance of the Orthodox and Conformable Clergy, tends to the encouragement and upholding of Conventicles. 8. That it is upon good grounds believed, That the Rates propounded, together with the Reserved Deuce of Impropriators, will not in the whole, one place with another, exceed Six pence in the Pound of yearly Rent moderately estimated.
