1646 Henry Spelman 1ed Tithes
Too Hot Church of England Civil War + Apology 3in1
Sir Henry Spelman was a 17th-century English antiquarian
known for his collections of records. He was, according to Woolf,
“deeply interested in ecclesiastical history
and was a zealous defender of the Church's rights.
Spelman’s “Tithes Too Hot to be
Touched” was written as a result of the feuds over tithing in the Church of
England. The controversy of tithes was one of the most prominent disagreements
during the Civil Wars, but Spelman sought to take a middle approach by
defending the need for tithes but scolding those who used the tithe money
immorally or for selfish gain.
This 1646 first edition of ‘Tithes’
was published alongside “An Apology of
the Treatise De Non Temerandis Ecclesiis”.
