may_v bear_v usury_n at_o a_o good_a rate_n other_o contract_v not_o so_o to_o serve_v both_o intention_n the_o way_n will_v be_v brief_o thus_o that_o there_o be_v two_o rate_n of_o usury_n the_o one_o free_a and_o general_n for_o all_o the_o other_o under_o licence_n only_o to_o certain_a person_n and_o in_o certain_a place_n of_o merchandize_v first_o therefore_o let_v usury_n in_o general_a be_v reduce_v to_o five_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o let_v that_o rate_v be_v proclaim_v to_o be_v free_a and_o current_n and_o let_v the_o state_n shut_v itself_o out_o to_o take_v any_o penalty_n for_o the_o same_o this_o will_v preserve_v borrow_v from_o any_o general_a stop_n or_o dryness_n this_o will_v ease_v infinite_a borrower_n in_o the_o country_n this_o will_n in_o good_a part_n raise_v the_o price_n of_o land_n because_o land_n purchase_v at_o sixteen_o year_n purchase_n will_v yield_v six_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o somewhat_o more_o whereas_o this_o rate_n of_o interest_n yield_v but_o five_o this_o by_o like_a reason_n will_v encourage_v and_o edge_n industrious_a and_o profitable_a improvement_n because_o many_o will_v rather_o venture_v in_o that_o kind_n then_o take_v five_o in_o the_o hundred_o especial_o have_v be_v use_v to_o great_a profit_n second_o let_v there_o be_v certain_a person_n license_v to_o lend_v to_o know_v merchant_n upon_o usury_n at_o a_o higher-rate_a and_o let_v it_o be_v with_o the_o caution_n follow_v let_v the_o rate_n be_v even_o with_o the_o merchant_n himself_o somewhat_o more_o easy_a then_o that_o he_o use_v former_o to_o pay_v for_o by_o that_o mean_n all_o borrower_n shall_v have_v some_o ease_n by_o this_o reformation_n be_v he_o merchant_n or_o whosoever_o let_v it_o be_v no_o bank_n or_o common_a stock_n but_o every_o man_n be_v master_n of_o his_o own_o money_n not_o that_o i_o altogether_o mislike_v bank_n but_o they_o will_v hardly_o be_v brook_v in_o regard_n of_o certain_a suspicion_n let_v the_o state_n be_v answer_v some_o small_a matter_n for_o the_o licence_n and_o the_o rest_n leave_v to_o the_o lender_n for_o if_o the_o abatement_n be_v but_o small_a it_o will_v no_o whit_n discourage_v the_o lender_n for_o he_o for_o example_n that_o take_v before_o ten_o or_o nine_o in_o the_o hundred_o will_v soon_o descend_v to_o eight_o in_o the_o hundred_o then_o give_v over_o his_o trade_n of_o usury_n and_o go_v from_o certain_a gain_n to_o gain_n of_o hazard_n let_v these_o license_v lender_n be_n in_o number_n indefinite_a but_o restrain_v to_o certain_a principal_a city_n and_o town_n of_o merchandize_v for_o than_o they_o will_v be_v hardly_o able_a to_o colour_v other_o man_n money_n in_o the_o country_n so_o as_o the_o licence_n of_o nine_o will_v not_o suck_v away_o the_o current_n rate_v of_o five_o for_o no_o man_n will_v send_v his_o money_n far_o off_o nor_o put_v they_o into_o unknown_a hand_n if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o this_o do_v in_o a_o sort_n authorize_v usury_n which_o before_o be_v in_o some_o place_n but_o permissive_a the_o answer_n be_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o mitigate_v usury_n by_o declaration_n then_o to_o suffer_v it_o to_o rage_n by_o connivance_n of_o youth_n and_o age._n xlii_o a_o man_n that_o be_v young_a in_o year_n may_v be_v old_a in_o hour_n if_o he_o have_v lose_v no_o time_n but_o that_o happen_v rare_o general_o youth_n be_v like_o the_o first_o cogitation_n not_o so_o wise_a as_o the_o second_o for_o there_o be_v a_o youth_n in_o thought_n as_o well_o as_o in_o age_n and_o yet_o the_o invention_n
