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.

argument_n of_o odious_a and_o detestable_a thing_n but_o the_o name_n of_o usury_n be_v odious_a as_o have_v be_v show_v for_o which_o cause_n the_o usurer_n themselves_o do_v avoid_v they_o and_o be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o and_o therefore_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v usury_n itself_o 2._o objection_n no_o usury_n be_v forbid_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n but_o that_o which_o be_v hurtful_a and_o join_v with_o the_o hurt_n or_o loss_n of_o the_o neighbour_n but_o some_o usury_n be_v not_o hurtful_a but_o rather_o helpefull_a to_o the_o neighbour_n therefore_o some_o usury_n be_v not_o forbid_v first_o the_o proposition_n be_v untrue_a and_o of_o dangerous_a consequence_n for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n forbid_v all_o usury_n in_o general_a as_o a_o thing_n in_o it_o own_o nature_n and_o in_o his_o whole_a kind_n simple_o unlawful_a without_o any_o such_o restraint_n or_o limitation_n even_o as_o it_o condemn_v adultery_n lie_v theft_n or_o any_o other_o notorious_a sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a thus_o to_o argue_v in_o favour_n of_o usury_n mince_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o a_o intolerable_a presumption_n and_o restrain_v and_o limit_v the_o same_o out_o of_o our_o own_o brain_n why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v lawful_a so_o to_o argue_v in_o defence_n of_o other_o sin_n as_o indeed_o some_o have_v do_v in_o defence_n of_o lie_v which_o as_o you_o hear_v before_o be_v general_o forbid_v as_o a_o thing_n simple_o evil_a and_o yet_o some_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o the_o defence_n of_o such_o lie_v as_o be_v not_o hurtful_a but_o helpefull_a to_o the_o neighbour_n and_o why_o may_v not_o the_o pickthank_a as_o well_o have_v justify_v his_o murder_n of_o saul_n if_o he_o have_v according_a to_o his_o own_o report_n slay_v he_o in_o charity_n and_o at_o his_o own_o entreaty_n to_o end_v his_o pain_n be_v past_a recovery_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o scorn_n of_o the_o philistimes_fw-la which_o he_o fear_v more_o than_o death_n but_o they_o prove_v their_o proposition_n thus_o usury_n be_v not_o forbid_v but_o as_o it_o be_v against_o charity_n for_o charity_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n and_o he_o which_o observe_v the_o rule_n of_o charity_n keep_v the_o law_n but_o that_o which_o be_v not_o hurtful_a to_o the_o neighbour_n be_v not_o against_o charity_n therefore_o that_o usury_n which_o be_v not_o hurtful_a to_o the_o neighbour_n be_v not_o forbid_v answ._n charity_n which_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o law_n have_v reference_n towards_o god_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n not_o only_o in_o private_a but_o also_o in_o public_a and_o towards_o a_o man_n self_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o acknowledge_v the_o proposition_n of_o this_o syllogism_n to_o be_v true_a viz._n that_o usury_n be_v not_o forbid_v but_o as_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o charity_n but_o hereby_o the_o assumption_n of_o this_o syllogism_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o perhaps_o hurtful_a to_o our_o neighbour_n in_o particular_a with_o who_o we_o deal_v which_o be_v notwithstanding_o repugnant_a to_o charity_n the_o officious_a lie_n help_v the_o particular_a neighbour_n in_o who_o favour_n it_o be_v tell_v yet_o because_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o verity_n it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o charity_n god_n who_o be_v truth_n have_v forbid_v all_o untruth_n and_o he_o will_v destroy_v every_o one_o that_o speak_v lie_n the_o lie_a mouth_n destroy_v the_o soul_n therefore_o no_o lie_n can_v stand_v with_o that_o charity_n and_o obedience_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n nor_o with_o that_o love_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o own_o soul_n so_o in_o like_a sort_n suppose_v that_o the_o borrower_n sometime_o be_v not_o hurt_v by_o usury_n but_o rather_o holpen_v yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o usury_n be_v against_o charity_n for_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o charity_n and_o our_o allegiance_n to_o god_n who_o have_v forbid_v it_o denounce_v his_o judgement_n against_o it_o make_v gracious_a promise_n to_o they_o that_o will_v do_v the_o contrary_a nor_o with_o our_o charity_n and_o duty_n to_o our_o country_n unto_o which_o usury_n be_v in_o many_o respect_v noisome_a as_o have_v be_v show_v nor_o with_o that_o love_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o our_o own_o soul_n for_o whosoever_o put_v forth_o to_o usury_n or_o take_v increase_v he_o shall_v not_o live_v but_o die_v the_o death_n and_o moreover_o you_o may_v remember_v what_o i_o have_v before_o prove_v that_o usury_n be_v ever_o repugnant_a to_o charity_n if_o not_o as_o a_o hurtful_a thing_n to_o our_o neighbour_n yet_o as_o a_o unjust_a thing_n in_o itself_o yea_o but_o say_v they_o again_o to_o prove_v the_o former_a proposition_n that_o usury_n which_o be_v join_v with_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o neighbour_n be_v condemn_v therefore_o that_o which_o be_v not_o join_v with_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o neighbour_n be_v not_o condemn_v answer_n i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n for_o there_o be_v other_o respect_n which_o make_v usury_n unlawful_a beside_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o neighbour_n as_o even_o now_o i_o show_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o patroness_n of_o officious_a lie_n may_v argue_v thus_o god_n forbid_v we_o to_o tell_v a_o lie_n against_o our_o neighbour_n therefore_o the_o lie_n which_o be_v not_o against_o the_o neighbour_n but_o for_o he_o be_v not_o forbid_v but_o you_o will_v say_v all_z lying_z be_v forbid_v so_o be_v all_o usury_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v against_o the_o proposition_n that_o all_o usury_n be_v unlawful_a though_o all_o be_v not_o hurtful_a now_o i_o add_v against_o the_o assumption_n of_o the_o first_o syllogism_n that_o all_o usury_n be_v hurtful_a hurtful_a i_o say_v either_o to_o the_o borrower_n as_o common_o it_o be_v or_o else_o to_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o before_o have_v be_v prove_v objection_n 3._o usury_n be_v not_o uncharitable_a neither_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o borrower_n nor_o yet_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o commonweal_n the_o former_a they_o prove_v thus_o there_o be_v no_o property_n of_o charity_n which_o may_v not_o well_o stand_v with_o usury_n no_o not_o that_o charity_n seek_v not_o her_o own_o for_o i_o be_o not_o otherwise_o bind_v to_o love_v my_o neighbour_n than_o myself_o nay_o rather_o the_o debtor_n shall_v offend_v against_o charity_n in_o too_o much_o seek_v his_o own_o if_o he_o will_v have_v another_o man_n money_n free_o by_o which_o he_o be_v sure_a in_o all_o likelihood_n to_o gain_v answer_n in_o traffic_n and_o negotiation_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o a_o man_n as_o well_o to_o respect_v his_o own_o gain_n as_o another_o man_n good_a but_o in_o lend_v which_o be_v a_o act_n of_o charity_n and_o a_o contract_n ordain_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o borrower_n to_o seek_v gain_n it_o be_v against_o charity_n which_o seek_v not_o her_o own_o we_o ought_v to_o lend_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n not_o respect_v our_o profit_n or_o gain_v but_o the_o good_a of_o the_o borrower_n but_o the_o usurer_n charity_n be_v by_o his_o lend_n to_o seek_v ease_n out_o of_o the_o borrower_n labour_n security_n out_o of_o his_o hazard_n and_o gain_v as_o well_o out_o of_o his_o loss_n as_o out_o of_o his_o gain_n again_o out_o of_o the_o uncertain_a negotiation_n of_o the_o borrower_n to_o covenant_n for_o certain_a gain_n it_o be_v not_o only_o uncharitable_a but_o also_o unjust_a and_o unequal_a but_o in_o the_o contract_n of_o actual_a usury_n there_o be_v a_o absolute_a covenant_n for_o certain_a gain_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v before_o which_o the_o borrower_n whether_o he_o shall_v gain_v or_o loose_v be_v absolute_o bind_v to_o pay_v together_o with_o the_o principal_n and_o this_o absolute_a covenant_n for_o certain_a gain_n be_v not_o a_o abuse_n happen_v beside_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o contract_n but_o of_o the_o very_a nature_n and_o essence_n of_o actual_a usury_n but_o the_o borrower_n you_o say_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n sure_a to_o gain_v why_o then_o say_v i_o will_v you_o not_o adventure_v with_o he_o for_o if_o the_o lender_n will_v be_v content_a to_o hazard_v his_o principal_n so_o as_o he_o will_v not_o only_o look_v for_o no_o gain_n but_o when_o the_o borrower_n gain_v but_o also_o will_v be_v content_a to_o bear_v part_n with_o he_o in_o his_o loss_n he_o shall_v not_o deal_v by_o usury_n but_o by_o partnership_n and_o whereas_o they_o say_v that_o the_o borrower_n shall_v offend_v against_o charity_n in_o seek_v too_o much_o his_o own_o if_o he_o will_v desire_v to_o borrow_v free_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v by_o distinction_n man_n borrow_v either_o to_o supply_v their_o need_n or_o to_o procure_v gain_n of_o the_o former_a there_o be_v no_o question_n

if_o to_o borrow_v upon_o usury_n upon_o necessity_n be_v to_o use_v a_o unlawful_a mean_n or_o if_o it_o be_v to_o sin_n that_o this_o evil_n be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v though_o much_o good_a may_v

this_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v the_o matter_n in_o question_n which_o must_v be_v prove_v and_o not_o take_v for_o grant_v for_o the_o contrary_a part_n i_o have_v prove_v that_o to_o borrow_v in_o time_n of_o need_n be_v a_o lawful_a mean_n and_o to_o yield_v to_o usury_n upon_o necessity_n with_o such_o caution_n as_o before_o have_v be_v specify_v be_v not_o to_o do_v a_o evil_a namely_o of_o

to_o consider_v the_o affirmative_a which_o every_o true_a christian_a in_o respect_n of_o his_o good_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v for_o whereas_o the_o usurer_n offend_v two_o way_n both_o in_o respect_n
