commit_v in_o this_o kind_n of_o usury_n they_o say_v neither_o be_v burden_v neither_o he_o that_o geve_v nor_o he_o that_o take_v usury_n but_o by_o good_a provision_n they_o have_v both_o profet_z he_z that_o geve_v usurye_n do_v use_v his_o stock_n well_o and_o gain_v so_o much_o of_o it_o that_o with_z out_o any_o loss_n he_o can_v geve_v usury_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o that_o take_v

that_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o great_a sin_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o usury_n as_o in_o that_o by_o the_o which_o usury_n be_v take_v of_o the_o poor_a which_o cruelty_n be_v forbid_v not_o only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n but_o alsoo_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v plain_n cruelnes_n to_o seek_v after_o lukar_n out_o of_o the_o labour_n and_o calamite_n of_o the_o poor_a wherefore_o this_o usury_n of_o the_o which_o we_o shall_v speak_v now_o differ_v much_o from_o that_o which_o by_o no_o mean_n can_v be_v tolerable_a howbeit_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n it_o be_v not_o too_o be_v suppose_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o can_v be_v reprove_v in_o the_o usury_n of_o rich_a man_n for_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o christian_a man_n do_v not_o rest_n in_o that_o he_o do_v burden_n no_o man_n in_o any_o bargayn_o or_o business_n wherefore_o we_o must_v see_v which_o be_v the_o circumstance_n of_o this_o usury_n for_o the_o which_o it_o may_v not_o be_v commend_v first_o this_o i_o suppose_v be_v sure_a that_o there_o be_v in_o both_o as_o well_o in_o hi●_n that_o geve_v as_o in_o he_o that_o take_v usury_n a_o respect_n of_o private_a profet_z for_o neither_o the_o one_o for_o brotherly_a love_n dare_v out_o his_o money_n unto_o a_o scotfree_a merchant_n but_o for_o too_o receyve_v of_o it_o yearly_a or_o monethlye_a gain_n nor_o the_o other_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o geve_v usury_n that_o he_o will_v geve_v it_o if_o he_o can_v keep_v it_o with_o his_o own_o advantage_n for_o as_o he_o say_v the_o love_n of_o money_n grow_v as_o much_o as_o the_o money_n itself_o grow_v notwithstanding_o he_o geve_v usury_n without_o wranglinge_v lest_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v force_v too_o restore_v the_o whole_a stock_n or_o to_o be_v note_v of_o evell_a credit_n there_o be_v many_o notable_a example_n of_o this_o matter_n therefore_o seinge_v that_o the_o rote_n also_o of_o this_o usury_n be_v the_o love_n of_o private_a profit_n i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o it_o can_v agree_v without_o blemish_n unto_o christian_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v further_a from_o love_n of_o private_a profet_z let_v no_o man_n seek_v those_o which_o be_v his_o own_o say_v the_o apostle_n but_o those_o which_o belong_v unto_o other_o the_o love_n of_o private_a profet_z with_o the_o loss_n of_o other_o be_v so_o evil_a that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v suffer_v amongst_o the_o gentiles_n and_o to_o gape_v for_o gain_v although_o it_o be_v without_o damage_n to_o other_o yet_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n of_o itself_o that_o ought_v to_o be_v far_o from_o christian_n even_o as_o to_o live_v delicatelye_a and_o idle_o although_o a_o man_n do_v so_o live_v not_o hurt_v nor_o hinderinge_v other_o wherefore_o as_o they_o sin_n which_o live_v delicate_o in_o the_o house_n of_o prince_n of_o noble_a &_o rich_a man_n albeit_o they_o feel_v or_o perceive_v no_o hurt_n of_o it_o so_o a_o christian_a man_n sin_v covet_v private_a profet_z albeit_o he_o go_v so_o about_o it_o that_o he_o seek_v for_o his_o own_o gain_n not_o of_o the_o need_n of_o poor_a man_n but_o of_o the_o wealth_n of_o the_o rich_a moreover_o he_o that_o take_v usury_n must_v take_v good_a heed_n whether_o he_o serve_v his_o own_o lack_n of_o believe_v or_o not_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o christian_a man_n so_o too_o deal_v with_o his_o neighbour_n that_o he_o can_v not_o complain_v but_o he_o must_v also_o consider_v what_o faith_n he_o have_v toward_o god_n and_o how_o all_o thing_n which_o he_o do_v
