Interregnum-man commented on the word Patrimoney
Patrimoney is the word to describe money gifted to the Church of Rome. It was often extracted from a dying person just before last rites were performed. The full title was St. Peter's patrimoney. The member churches of the Roman Catholic faith also paid a subscription to Rome. Oliver. Cromwell condemned the practice in his 'Declaratio' in early 1650.
