SECT. I. Some Cautions and Distinctions premised before them.

SECT. II. The first Reason, taken from the Necessity of Ministerial Service, in the Sequestred Benefice, and from the Parity of the Ministers Case with others, on whom no Paiment of a fifth Part is imposed.

SECT. III. The second Reason taken from the Preheminence of that Authority (which appointed us to be Incumbents) above that of private Patrons.

SECT. IV. The third Reason taken from the manner of our Admissi∣on into the Pastoral Charges of the outed Mi∣nisters compared with theirs.

SECT. V. The fourth Reason taken from the Aphorism of our Saviour, The Labourer is worthy of his hire, Luke 10.7.

SECT. VI. The fifth Reason taken from a comparison of the condition of the Wife and Children, of the outed Minister, when he is alive, and when he is dead.

SECT. VII. The sixth Reason taken from the ill Use our Adversaries make of the Allowance of the fifth Part.
