Light soiling; bottom corner of the final leaf is chipped in the margin. Pearson, a Quaker, researched tithes in 17th century. His principal work on them, "The Great Case of Tythes," originally appeared in 1657 going into two more editions within a couple of years. This present edition is among four more editions which appeared in the 18th century. "His examination of tithing among the biblical Jews and in the history of the church persuaded him that they were not required by divine law, equity, monarchical grants, parliamentary statute, or the rights of those who had purchased impropriated tithes, though he supported compensation for improprietors. The termination of tithing, he argued, would stop ceaseless lawsuits, provide incentives to raise more crops, and relieve the people of an oppressive burden." This later edition was issued from the press of a Quaker printer, Luke Hinde. ESTC T97514; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
