Paine & Wycliffe, Deuteronomy 25.4

But priests have always been fond of preaching up Deuteronomy, for Deuteronomy preaches up tithes; and it is from this book, 25.4, they have taken the phrase, and applied it to tithing, that thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn: and that this might not escape observation, they have noted it in the table of contents at the head of the chapter, though it is only a single verse of less than two lines. O priests! Priests! Ye are willing to be compared to an ox, for the sake of tithes.
