On the importance of truth, and the origin of ecclesiastical grandeur: describing the methods whereby the preachers of the Gospel degenerated from their primitive institution. II. On the craft of Tythes; refuting the arguments alledg'd for their divine appointment. III. On the usurpation of Church-power; and the pernicious abuses of it for oppressing and impoverishing the laity. IV. On the means used by ambitious priests to rivet their yoke on the people.
