The parson's counsellor, with the law of tythes or tything: in two books. The first sheweth the order every parson, vicar, &c. ought to observe in obtaining a spiritual preferment, and what duties are incumbent upon him after the taking the same, and many other things necessary for every clergy-man to know and observe. The second shews, in what manner all sorts of tythes, offerings, mortuaries, and other church-duties are to be paid, as well in London as elsewhere, and as well by the canon as common and statute-law, and in what courts and manner they may be recovered, what charges they are subject to, and many other things concerning the same; necessary for clergy-men, and all others to know. The sixth edition corrected, and much enlarged in many particulars through the whole book, with a table, &c. Written by Sir Simon Degge, Kt..
