by_o god_n or_o man_n by_o god_n for_o the_o poor_a by_o the_o rich_a for_o themselves_o another_o reason_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n that_o we_o must_v lend_v to_o the_o poor_a free_o and_o therefore_o must_v we_o take_v usury_n of_o the_o rich_a 4_o upon_o this_o ground_n it_o seem_v because_o god_n will_v not_o pay_v for_o the_o rich_a therefore_o they_o must_v pay_v for_o themselves_o for_o it_o will_v not_o out_o of_o his_o head_n but_o that_o usury_n must_v be_v pay_v be_v it_o not_o for_o usury_n he_o prophesi_v that_o the_o same_o confusion_n must_v 5_o needs_o fall_v upon_o

for_o god_n example_n for_o pay_v usury_n for_o the_o poor_a be_v take_v from_o a_o metaphorical_a or_o borrow_a speech_n and_o therefore_o can_v stand_v upon_o his_o own_o ground_n if_o it_o can_v we_o may_v infer_v strange_a conclusion_n from_o god_n example_n who_o return_v for_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a the_o principal_n seven_o fold_n yea_o a_o hundred_o fold_n shall_v a_o rich_a man_n therefore_o pay_v so_o much_o usury_n that_o will_v prove_v a_o neshec_n indeed_o yea_o but_o we_o must_v lend_v free_o to_o the_o poor_a and_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v enable_v ourselves_o so_o to_o do_v we_o must_v take_v usury_n 7_o of_o the_o rich_a that_o be_v another_o reason_n take_v as_o i_o suppose_v from_o standgate_n hole_n for_o such_o reason_n do_v move_v those_o good_a fellow_n

may_v the_o better_o give_v unto_o the_o rich_a but_o be_v it_o therefore_o a_o virtue_n to_o lend_v to_o the_o rich_a upon_o usury_n and_o such_o a_o virtue_n as_o bring_v a_o blessing_n from_o god_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o curse_n so_o say_v the_o author_n in_o direct_a term_n now_o the_o contrary_a virtue_n have_v questionless_a the_o like_a opposite_a blessing_n a_o equal_a and_o like_a reward_n of_o plentiousnesse_n this_o be_v more_o i_o dare_v say_v then_o ever_o usurer_n do_v hope_n for_o or_o imagine_v full_a glad_a will_v they_o be_v if_o we_o can_v prove_v it_o a_o thing_n indifferent_a to_o lend_v free_o be_v a_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o bounty_n to_o lend_v unto_o the_o rich_a free_o be_v vicious_a because_o superfluous_a he_o compare_v it_o to_o pour_a water_n
