which_o himself_o grant_v to_o the_o buyer_n by_o just_a value_n i_o mean_v a_o equality_n between_o the_o wa●e_n and_o the_o price_n according_a to_o the_o common_a estimation_n at_o the_o time_n

case_n though_o the_o buyer_n may_v perhaps_o think_v that_o he_o pay_v the_o dear_a for_o the_o forbearance_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o usury_n because_o the_o seller_n do_v not_o sell_v the_o dear_a for_o time_n only_o for_o the_o time_n of_o forbearance_n i_o speak_v so_o because_o there_o may_v be_v some_o other_o reason_n why_o the_o seller_n grant_v time_n may_v sell_v the_o dear_a 1._o when_o he_o know_v that_o the_o value_n of_o the_o thing_n will_v be_v more_o at_o the_o day_n of_o payment_n then_o at_o the_o day_n of_o sale_n he_o may_v sell_v it_o for_o so_o much_o more_o as_o in_o all_o likelihood_n it_o will_v be_v clear_o more_o worth_a his_o charge_n and_o hazard_n if_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o and_o the_o impair_n or_o diminish_v of_o the_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v
