A20736	Lectures on the XV. Psalme read in the cathedrall church of S. Paule, in London. Wherein besides many other very profitable and necessarie matters, the question of vsurie is plainely and fully decided. By George Dovvname, Doctor of Diuinitie. Whereunto are annexed two other treatises of the same authour, the one of fasting, the other of prayer.	Downame, George, d. 1634.	1604 (1604)	STC 7118; ESTC S110203	278,690	369

as_o be_v both_o profitable_a and_o necessary_a fort_n profitable_a first_o because_o by_o they_o we_o may_v make_v sure_a our_o call_n and_o our_o election_n 10._o as_o peter_n teach_v they_o be_v

of_o our_o salvation_n by_o christ._n if_o therefore_o we_o be_v ignorant_a person_n we_o have_v no_o faith_n if_o we_o be_v unfaithful_a person_n we_o have_v no_o true_a love_n or_o fear_v of_o god_n
