CERTAINTY. ECCLES. Courts. Excomm. for Costs
The Divine Author of our Religion has said, Blessed
be is the Poor+ + Surmon in the Mount. Qu. that whether it is not "Poor in Spirit" for theirs is the Kingdom of God."
The Ecclesiastical Courts say, Cursed is the poor
whom we have found or made so. [And this is
Law in a country in which Christianity has
been declared to be a part of it. ++ ++ v. Title Blasphemy in Mankind ,c] They of whom
the community of the faithful was at once allmost
exclusively composed, are now to be cut
off from it , there from for being so. I may be told, that is
not for poverty but for contumacy, not for being
unable but for being unwilling but since from [inability] non-payment unwillingness is presumed without further ceremony , who for the good of his Soul, as much as in them live, deliver him over to damnation.: but it will if it be so it
however be allowed me, that the being unwilling is presumed
of course from the being unwilling unable: that being
the case, I leave the distraction to pass for what
it is worth.
