The tythe in the greater part of those parishes which pay what is called a modus, in lieu of all other tythe is a tax of this kind.

在那些支付所谓的 modus 的大部分教区中， 什一税代替所有其他什一税就是这种税。

The tythe, where there is no modus, and where it is levied in kind, diminishes more what would otherwise be the rent of the landlord, than a land tax which really amounted to five shillings in the pound.

什一税没有征税方式，而是以实物形式征收，它减少了地主的地租，而不是实际相当于每磅五先令的土地税。
