the_o stew_n second_o whether_o if_o we_o do_v it_o may_v stand_v in_o equal_a balance_n with_o a_o stew_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o that_o england_n do_v not_o permit_v usury_n but_o restrain_v the_o abominable_a gripe_a that_o be_v bring_v in_o by_o the_o jew_n for_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o law_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o call_v a_o statute_n against_o

usury_n he_o forfeit_v the_o whole_a sum_n therefore_o the_o usurer_n be_v so_o crafty_a as_o to_o make_v their_o creditor_n upon_o the_o lend_n of_o a_o hundred_o pound_n to_o become_v debtor_n to_o they_o for_o a_o hundred_o and_o ten_o or_o eight_o or_o seven_o or_o the_o like_a by_o bond_n and_o not_o to_o bind_v they_o to_o give_v ten_o pound_n for_o the_o mere_a use_n of_o a_o hundred_o second_o england_n deal_v not_o with_o usury_n as_o rome_n do_v with_o the_o stew_n for_o she_o do_v blanch_v and_o excuse_v it_o and_o therefore_o sometime_o they_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o permission_n of_o a_o less_o evil_a to_o avoid_v a_o great_a as_o sodomy_n buggery_n and_o the_o like_a when_o yet_o under_o this_o cloak_n ely_n may_v without_o blame_n have_v suffer_v the_o sin_n of_o his_o son_n in_o the_o porch_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n to_o prevent_v more_o heinous_a sin_n and_o further_a degree_n of_o sodomy_n sometime_o again_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o they_o do_v not_o permit_v they_o without_o mean_n to_o reclaim_v they_o both_o by_o punishment_n and_o preach_n as_o if_o it_o can_v excuse_v they_o to_o permit_v house_n of_o sin_v that_o they_o may_v exercise_v their_o censure_n they_o be_v mad_a man_n that_o build_v house_n for_o thief_n and_o burn_v they_o down_o when_o they_o have_v do_v sometime_o again_o they_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o rent_n and_o pension_n so_o get_v be_v employ_v to_o maintain_v penitent_a harlot_n as_o if_o god_n delight_v in_o the_o price_n of_o a_o harlot_n or_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o do_v evil_a that_o good_a may_v come_v thereof_o thus_o will_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n like_o a_o harlot_n put_v a_o beautiful_a complexion_n upon_o a_o ugly_a face_n yea_o from_o such_o like_a and_o other_o filthiness_n even_o in_o their_o holy_a father_n the_o pope_n rom._n see_v bellar._n in_o his_o preface_n to_o his_o book_n de_fw-fr pontif._n rom._n they_o can_v draw_v a_o argument_n of_o glory_n and_o renown_n to_o peter_n chair_n as_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o god_n special_a hand_n that_o it_o have_v endure_v so_o long_o but_o as_o for_o we_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o condemn_v

who_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v we_o shall_v stand_v again_o before_o the_o god_n of_o our_o conscience_n for_o though_o he_o seem_v to_o frown_v and_o send_v affliction_n and_o cross_n and_o disease_n and_o death_n 38.3_o esai_n 38.3_o yet_o as_o hezekiahs_n jury_n give_v way_n to_o that_o comfortable_a prayer_n o_o lord_n remember_v i_o beseech_v thou_o how_o i_o have_v

we_o have_v view_v these_o reason_a thought_n as_o a_o witness_n propound_v the_o truth_n us._n a_o judge_n within_o us._n and_o as_o a_o jury_n apply_v it_o to_o the_o party_n to_o be_v try_v we_o come_v now_o unto_o it_o as_o a_o judge_n conclude_v conclusion_n conclusion_n without_o all_o which_o three_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a reason_n whence_o i_o offer_v this_o point_n to_o consider_v that_o we_o have_v also_o in_o ourselves_o under_o god_n our_o judge_n for_o hence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o be_v say_v to_o have_v reason_v because_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o both_o open_a the_o law_n that_o the_o witness_n may_v propound_v fit_a truth_n and_o as_o a_o judge_n we_o determine_v according_o in_o the_o conclusion_n as_o it_o be_v with_o prince_n and_o king_n who_o be_v the_o high_a judge_n of_o their_o kingdom_n they_o have_v judge_n under_o they_o by_o deputation_n to_o who_o they_o commit_v their_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o allot_v their_o several_a circuit_n so_o though_o god_n be_v the_o high_a judge_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n over_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o do_v he_o depute_v these_o inferior_a judge_n in_o the_o

of_o a_o judge_n and_o how_o good_a cause_n we_o have_v to_o account_v our_o conscience_n our_o judge_n will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v these_o three_o point_n first_o that_o sentence_n which_o

not_o yet_o come_v he_o find_v himself_o condemn_v by_o the_o inward_a judge_n and_o when_o god_n come_v he_o ratify_v the_o same_o sentence_n but_o we_o can_v think_v that_o god_n will_v confirm_v the_o sentence_n of_o a_o rebel_n who_o have_v set_v himself_o in_o god_n throne_n to_o judge_v without_o god_n second_o such_o be_v the_o majesty_n and_o authority_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o

the_o jew_n who_o be_v as_o the_o swift_a dromedary_n be_v not_o more_o eager_a to_o commit_v wickedness_n than_o conscience_n must_v be_v to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o god_n sight_n the_o three_o be_v condemnation_n even_o as_o a_o judge_n do_v condemn_v the_o guilty_a and_o pronounce_v definitive_a sentence_n against_o he_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v whether_o friend_n or_o foe_n rich_a

of_o his_o people_n and_o justice_n of_o his_o inferior_a magistrate_n and_o the_o like_a so_o must_v our_o conscience_n give_v a_o account_n to_o god_n what_o state_n our_o soul_n be_v in_o and_o how_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n do_v rule_v and_o obey_v within_o us._n see_v therefore_o o_o conscience_n that_o thou_o do_v it_o faithful_o go_v to_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n after_o every_o

all_o will_v perish_v with_o thy_o pardon_n without_o thy_o wisdom_n to_o plant_v religion_n to_o order_v thy_o subject_n and_o to_o prevent_v future_a mutiny_n all_o will_v come_v to_o naught_o thus_o deal_v faithful_o with_o thy_o soul_n and_o as_o good_a judge_n will_v not_o trust_v particular_a justice_n with_o the_o government_n of_o the_o country_n lest_o they_o shall_v make_v their_o
