This impost was at first only levied from persons appointed to bishoprics; but it was afterward extended to the inferior clergy.

The various statutes subsequently passed on this subject have all been consolidated by an act (the 1 Vict. c. 20) regulating the collection of the money so levied.Gieseler, Ch. Hist. 3, 54-63.
