Appending : (a) extract from a letter, dated June 24
inst. from one of the Commissioners of the Poll in
Suffolk. "I have now finished the [assessing for
the] Poll Act and have been strickt in it and hope
'tis as much as can be made in the Hundred of
Hoxton [Hoxne], for there is not a parson either for
his living as a gent, but is assessed, which is not done
in Norfolk nor in some part of Suffolk [where] they
only pay their shilling. I hear that in Norfolk
they which hath above 140l. a year in two benefices
pays only a shilling. So I am blamed mightily
for being so strickt for they say the Parliament did
only charge the dignified clergy and not them,
which I am apt to believe they intended them no
such kindness. If there were a review of the Poll
in some places there would be a great sum gathered
more than 'tis now made of it." Please ask some
lawyer of the House [of Commons] whether they
excused the parsons or ought they to pay under
the title of gentlemen, "which they all repute
themselves so, as Masters of Arts." If they be
not taxed there will be much money lost. Here
in Suffolk some have respited the assessing till they
know what others do. |
