Robbing Peter to pay Paul
On December 17th, 1550, the abbey church of St. Peter, Westminster, was advanced to the dignity of a cathedral by letters patent; but ten years later it was joined to the diocese of London again, and many of its estates appropriated to the repairs of St. Paul's Cathedral. (Winkle: Cathedrals.)
“Tanquam siquis crucifigeret Paulum ut redimeret Petrum.” (Twelfth century.)
“It was not desirable to rob St. Peter's altar in order to build one to St. Paul.” —Viglius: Com. Dec. Denarii, i. 9 (1569).

Another:
The expression 'rob Peter to pay Paul' dates to John Wycliffe's 'Select English Works,' (1380).
It was included in John Heywood's (1546) collection of proverbs: 'To rob Peter to pay Paul.' George Herbert listed it in his collection (1640) as 'Give not Saint Peter so much, to leave Saint Paul nothing.' Appears in the United States in 'Thomas Hutchinson Papers' (1657).
