Ezekiel44:31
Ver. 31. The Prieſts ſhall not eat, &c.] They ſhall not be greedy of filthy lucre, nor oppreſſive. Popiſh Prieſts made ſo much gain of the dead, and ſo devoured widdows houſes under a pretence of Dirges, Trentals, Maſſes for the dead, &c. that there was a neceſſity in this Kingdom, of a ſtatute of Mortmain, to reſtrain them.
