This is to certifie all whom it may concern, that G.F. being several Years past at my house, and as he and I were speaking together, concerning Payment of Tythes; I told him, that in the Parish where I dwell, there is both Priest and Impropriator, and that both of them claimed Tythes of the Inhabitants, and amongst our Discourse that we had thereabout, G.F. then advised me to purchase the Tythes of them, this he spake in Love to me, and I took it no Otherwise; but if he will {Fifth Part 55} prosecute others for such things, whereof he is more guilty himself, he will much lose his honour, and hardly ever recover it again; this I thought fit (and indeed bound) to certifie, whereunto I subscribe my Name
The 23rd of the 11th Mo. 1677
