Tythes ended by Christ with the Levitical priesthood. And therefore no maintenance for a Gospel-ministry, nor lawful for Christians to pay or take under the dispensation of the Gospel. Being an answer to two reviling pamphlets written against the people of God called Quakers, because they refuse to pay tythes. The one by C.N. a Presbyterian; and the other by Cress Wheatly, an Episcopal priest. The said C.N. and C.W. are herein justly rebuked for their enmity and lyes against the people of God, and their arguments and plea for tythes considered and fully answered. And the people of God vindicated in their refusing to pay tythes. By the servants of the Lord, T. Rudyard and W. Gibson. Also a postscript by George Watt. Also some brief observations upon some passages in a book, entituled, Christ's call to professors, by W.G.

Notes:

The "two pamphlets" mentioned in title would seem to have been MS. letters from Clement Nedham and Creswel Whately. For the former, see J. Smith, "Anti-Quakeriana", p. 334, which gives title "A sober disquisition of the people's right to tythes", 1672; for the latter there is an entry on p. 448 which gives no works. Also no book has been discovered by William Gibson in answer to "Christ's call to professors", nor is that title listed in Wing.

"Tythes no Gospel-ordinance" by G.W., i.e. George Watt, has separate dated title page on p. [31]; register is continuous. "Tythes ended by Christ with the Levitical priesthood" by William Gibson has separate dated title page and begins new pagination on F4r; register is continuous.
