other_o reason_n may_v be_v allege_v against_o borrow_v upon_o usury_n 1._o as_o first_o that_o lend_v and_o
borrow_v upon_o usury_n be_v relative_n and_o therefore_o if_o to_o lend_v upon_o usury_n be_v unlawful_a it_o can_v be_v lawful_a to_o borrow_v upon_o usury_n i_o answer_v as_o before_o that_o relative_n be_v not_o always_o of_o the_o like_a nature_n and_o quality_n for_o to_o offer_v wrong_a and_o to_o suffer_v wrong_a to_o oppress_v and_o to_o be_v oppress_v be_v relative_n and_o such_o

offer_v wrong_a and_o to_o oppress_v therefore_o he_o which_o upon_o necessity_n yield_v to_o pay_v usury_n do_v suffer_v wrong_a and_o be_v oppress_v thus_o therefore_o i_o may_v reason_v from_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n as_o before_o i_o do_v from_o the_o scripture_n to_o suffer_v wrong_n be_v not_o sin_n the_o borrower_n which_o upon_o necessity_n yield_v to_o pay_v usury_n do_v suffer_v wrong_a therefore_o he_o do_v not_o sin_n therein_o the_o proposition_n be_v a_o axiom_n of_o aristotle_n in_o his_o ethic_n where_o prove_v 11._o that_o it_o be_v a_o less_o evil_a to_o suffer_v

and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v that_o just_a deal_n be_v a_o mean_a betwixt_o offer_v injury_n and_o suffer_a wrong_n the_o one_o be_v to_o have_v too_o much_o the_o other_o too_o little_a

upon_o he_o yea_o he_o intreat_v the_o usurer_n that_o he_o will_v so_o lend_v unto_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o his_o own_o harm_n &_o accessary_a to_o the_o oppression_n of_o the_o usurer_n i_o answer_v he_o that_o borrow_v upon_o necessity_n with_o such_o caution_n as_o before_o i_o mention_v be_v guilty_a neither_o of_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o for_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o whereas_o there_o be_v two_o evil_n propound_v unto_o he_o the_o one_o the_o inconvenience_n or_o mischief_n for_o avoid_v whereof_o he_o desire_v to_o borrow_v as_o perhaps_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o a_o hundred_o pound_n the_o other_o the_o loss_n which_o he_o shall_v sustain_v by_o usury_n which_o perhaps_o be_v five_o in_o fifty_o the_o one_o whereof_o he_o must_v needs_o incur_v therefore_o this_o latter_a be_v the_o lesser_a evil_n and_o have_v the_o respect_n of_o a_o good_a or_o eligible_a thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o great_a evil_n he_o make_v

of_o usury_n but_o his_o necessity_n for_o avoid_v a_o great_a evil_n make_v he_o seem_v willing_a to_o that_o whereunto_o he_o be_v simple_o unwilling_a as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o as_o

to_o borrow_v be_v the_o great_a sin_n than_o the_o latter_a which_o be_v to_o lend_v upon_o usury_n his_o desire_n be_v to_o keep_v both_o the_o lender_n from_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o himself_o
