Title A name given to the resource December 8 1586 Subject The topic of the resource December 8 Description An account of the resource December 8: Spenser becomes "delinquent in payment of first fruits, a sum required of the occupant of a benefice upon taking his charge, with respect to the prebendary of Effin, possibly a sinecure post (CSPI 127.18)." (Maley, 44) Hadfield notes this amount at £3, and explains that the Act for First Fruits gave the pope a "claim to a percentage of the income derived from the first year of any ecclesiastical benefice to the king." (191) Both Maley (44) and Hadfield (191-92) mention that Spenser satirizes unqualified (un-ordained) holders of clerical offices in Mother Hubberds Tale.
