THOUGHTS ON THE CONSEQUENCES

OF

COMMUTING

THE TITHES.

BY

THE REV. WILLIAM EDMEADS,

ST. ALBAN HALL, OXFORD.

THE following letter on the commutation

of the Tithes, was written early in the last year, when the subject was more particularly under consideration, and transmitted to a member of the legislature, in whose hands, I presumed it might be useful. I now present it to the public, with an encouraged hope, that it may correct some popular, but (as I conceive) mistaken opinions, respecting the Tithes, and induce even its enemies dispassionately to reflect upon the character, spirit and tendency of our national Church.

St. Alban Hall,

Oxford.

Jan. 26, 1816.
