The mite. An essay upon the office of Church-Deacons, and the duty of charity, calculated for discovering, that the late application by the Town-Council of Edinburgh, for a law imposing, upon house-holders there, a tax (instead of the public collections on the Lord's day, &c.) for maintaining their Charity Work-House, is destructive to the said office and duty, &c. Humbly inscribed to the Town-Council and ministers of Edinburgh. By a Lover of peace and truth.
