Question II: From which things tithes are to be paid
ON this Suar. treats more fully cap. 34.
E quibus rebus sunt solvendae decimae.
DE hoc latius Suar. agit cap. 34.
IT IS DECREED by law that tithes be paid from all things justly divided, and hence from the fruits of lands and of other fruitful things, and of mills, fishponds, etc., which are called praedial tithes. Likewise from the profit of any personal trade, military service, hunting, which are called personal tithes. And also of cattle and sheep, which can be called mixed; because they are ascribed partly to the fruits of lands, by which they are fed, partly to industry.
DECERNITUR iure, ut solvantur ex omnibus rebus iuste partitis, atque adeo e fructibus praediorum, et aliarum rerum fructiferarum, et molendinorum, piscinarum, etc. Quae dicuntur decimae praediales. Similiter ex lucro cuiusque propriae negotiationis, militiae, venationis, quae dicuntur decimae personales. Itemque pecorum, et ovium, quae possunt vocari mixtae; eo quod partim praediorum fructibus, quibus muniuntur, partim industriae adscribuntur.
Coelestinus III asserts that tithes are to be paid from all these: C. Non est, extra de Decimis. By custom, however, only the praedial ones are in use, and some mixed ones, as Navar. notes num. 31. cap. 31., Valentia p. 3., Suar. cap. 10., Bassaeus v. Decimae. But the personal ones, by a now-prescribed custom, are not paid anywhere in the world. See the Doctors in Fag. praec. 5. l. 1. cap. 2., Bonac. de decimis, p. 2., Bassaeo num. 40.
Ex his omnibus solvendas decimas asserit Coelestinus III. C. Non est, extra de Decimis. Consuetudine tamen solae praediales sunt in usu, et aliquae mixtae, ut notat Navar. num. 31. cap. 31. Valentia p. 3. Suar. cap. 10. Bassaeus v. Decimae. Personales vero consuetudine iam praescripta in toto orbe non solvuntur. Vide Doctores in Fag. praec. 5. l. 1. cap. 2. Bonac. de decimis, p. 2.
