methinks_v it_o be_v but_o a_o small_a consolation_n and_o shall_v yield_v but_o a_o small_a encouragement_n to_o the_o usurer_n the_o holy_a bible_n be_v divide_v into_o four_o part_n moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n and_o the_o new_a testament_n may_v we_o think_v it_o safe_a to_o do_v a_o thing_n forbid_v in_o three_o of_o these_o because_o it_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o four_o i_o doubt_v i_o may_v say_v concerue_v the_o usurer_n that_o plead_v this_o as_o our_o saviour_n concern_v the_o survive_a brethren_n of_o the_o gospel-glutton_n if_o they_o

it_o may_v be_v retort_v that_o usury_n also_o be_v condemn_v under_o uncharitableness_n and_o oppression_n i_o remember_v bishop_n jewel_n ground_n his_o severe_a discourse_n against_o it_o upon_o
