of_o the_o essence_n nature_n and_o definition_n of_o usury_n the_o first_o chapter_n before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o precise_a description_n or_o definition_n of_o vssurie_n i_o must_v require_v thou_o gentle_a reader_n to_o observe_v two_o thing_n with_o i_o first_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o speak_v of_o usury_n itself_o a_o other_o thing_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o sin_n of_o it_o second_o that_o these_o word_n be_v fit_o and_o plain_o distinguish_v in_o the_o latin_a tongue_n observe_v to_o wit_n commodatum_fw-la locatum_fw-la and_o mutuum_fw-la which_o be_v confound_v in_o our_o english_a tongue_n and_o take_v only_o for_o loan_n or_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v lend_v when_o therefore_o and_o so_o often_o as_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o loan_n or_o the_o thing_n lend_v my_o meaning_n ever_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o that_o loan_n or_o of_o that_o thing_n lend_v which_o be_v call_v in_o latin_a mutuum_fw-la which_o i_o here_o admonish_v once_o for_o all_o to_o avoid_v confusion_n and_o tedious_a repetition_n in_o this_o my_o discourse_n follow_v the_o sin_n of_o usury_n usury_n be_v the_o exact_v intend_v or_o receive_v of_o the_o usury_n or_o of_o that_o gain_n which_o be_v give_v for_o the_o loan_n usury_n itself_o be_v that_o gain_n which_o be_v exact_v or_o principal_o intend_v for_o the_o loan_n of_o our_o money_n or_o of_o other_o thing_n estimable_a with_o money_n i_o say_v first_o exact_v because_o a_o thing_n give_v voluntary_o in_o the_o way_n of_o gratitude_n adjunct_n be_v not_o usury_n neither_o do_v it_o make_v the_o receiver_n to_o be_v a_o usurer_n if_o it_o have_v not_o a_o deform_a adjunct_n i_o say_v second_o principal_o intend_v because_o gain_v intend_v secondary_o do_v not_o make_v usury_n nor_o he_o that_o desire_v it_o to_o be_v a_o usurer_n though_o the_o principal_a intention_n of_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o mental_a usury_n as_o shall_v appear_v hereafter_o i_o say_v three_o of_o money_n or_o thing_n estimable_a with_o money_n because_o usury_n may_v be_v aswell_o commit_v in_o other_o thing_n as_o in_o money_n although_o many_o of_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n and_o some_o also_o that_o otherwise_o be_v learn_v seem_v not_o so_o to_o conceive_v the_o matter_n this_o definition_n of_o usury_n may_v be_v evident_o prove_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n as_o also_o by_o the_o uniform_a consent_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o by_o the_o constitution_n make_v in_o counsel_n of_o best_a approve_a antiquity_n which_o thing_n shall_v be_v prove_v copious_o in_o the_o next_o chapter_n follow_v of_o the_o deformity_n and_o great_a sin_n of_o usury_n chap._n 2._o when_o i_o consider_v god_n holy_a will_n reveal_v in_o his_o sacred_a word_n the_o manifold_a testimony_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n and_o the_o decree_n of_o approve_a synod_n i_o can_v but_o admire_v the_o condition_n of_o many_o in_o these_o our_o day_n who_o be_v so_o far_o from_o condemn_v usury_n that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o practice_v it_o but_o without_o blush_v defend_v the_o same_o as_o a_o honest_a and_o lawful_a thing_n i_o will_v therefore_o by_o god_n holy_a assistance_n so_o discover_v the_o curpitude_n of_o filthy_a usury_n by_o three_o several_a testimony_n as_o every_o child_n may_v with_o facility_n behold_v how_o grievous_a a_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o first_o distinction_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n the_o first_o place_n of_o my_o first_o proof_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o exodus_fw-la in_o these_o word_n 25._o if_o thou_o lend_v money_n to_o my_o people_n that_o be_v to_o the_o poor_a with_o thou_o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o usurer_n to_o he_o you_o shall_v not_o oppress_v he_o with_o usury_n the_o

thou_o shall_v take_v no_o usury_n of_o he_o nor_o vantage_n but_o thou_o shall_v fear_v thy_o god_n that_o thy_o brother_n may_v live_v with_o thou_o the_o three_o place_n be_v take_v out_o of_o
