The Great Cafe of Tithes, by Anthony Pearson, having been long out of Print, and now Reprinted, we thought it might not be improper to give the Reader some Account of the Author and the Circumstances which occasion'd the writing of it.<br><br>Anthony Pearson was a justice of Peace in Westmorland. He publish'd his Treatise<br>of Tithes in the Year 1657, which was so well receiv'd by the Publick, that in about Two Years it pass'd Three Editions.<br><br>The cry of oppression being great from divers parts of the Nation, because of the severe prosecutions for Tithes, the Author was excited to write on that Head, in Compassion to the Sufferers; and to remove, if possible, by reason and found argument, the Yoke and Burtben of Tithes from off the Laborious Husbandman, and, otherwise, a free people.
