From all harvest the tenth part must be paid to Holy Church. If any one have a herd of horses, let him pay the tenth colt; he who has only one or two horses shall pay a penny for each colt; he who has many cows, the tenth calf; he who has one or two, an obole for each; and if he make cheese from their milk, the tenth cheese, or the milk of the tenth day. 8. The tenth lamb, the tenth sheep\'s hide, the tenth cheese, the tenth part of the butter, the tenth hog; from bees, according to what they make for themselves for one year; also from woods, meadows, waters, mills, parks, warrens, fisheries, thickets, gardens, trade, and from all similar things which God has given, let a tenth be returned; and he who refuses, by justice of the king and Holy Church, if it be necessary, shall be forced to pay. St. Augustine has said these things before, and these have been granted by the king and confirmed by barons and people; but afterwards, at the instigation of the devil, many refused and priests who were rich and not very careful to require them thus began to be impoverished; because in many places there are now three or four churches where there was formerly only one. |
