     As our wish and our object is not so much to blame as to praise, we regret, that we gave reason (p. 216) to expect any notice of this pamphlet, whose Author, besides railing at the present arrangements of our prelacy, tythes, &c., would, by a fixed perpetual rent-charge, do that for the clergy, which, by a similar error, was badly done for our Regii Professores, i.e. provide for the clergy an unalterable annual maintenance! which, according to the present value of money, might, possibly, compensate the Clergy; but which, as the value of money changes, must, ere long, leave them paupers indeed!
