First-fruits and tenths out of ecclesiastical livings, according to their present improved values, no present for Caesar: or, The arithmetick of Dr. Thomas Bradley, : in his book, called A present for Caesar of 100000 l. in hand, and 50000 l. a year, examined, and found not to amount (by inversion) to 000000 l. 00 s. 01 d. in hand, and 00000 l. 00 s. 05 d. a year. By occasion whereof is handled the nature original, and measure of first-fruits, and the nature and original also of tenths, by the law of God, by the canons of the Jewish doctors, by the Popes law, (commonly called canon law) and by the common and statute laws of England; which with one consent say, that the doctors present or gift, will not make room for him to bring him before his Highnesse.
