deceive_v if_o there_o be_v no_o slander_n they_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v slander_v if_o there_o be_v no_o envy_n than_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v envy_v if_o there_o be_v no_o extortion_n they_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v injury_v if_o there_o be_v no_o usury_n they_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v oppress_v therefore_o god_n law_n have_v be_v better_a for_o we_o then_o our_o own_o law_n for_o if_o his_o law_n do_v stand_v than_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v deceive_v nor_o slander_v nor_o envy_v nor_o injury_v nor_o oppress_v god_n have_v command_v every_o man_n to_o lend_v free_o 35._o &_o who_o will_v not_o borrow_v free_o therefore_o they_o which_o bring_v in_o usury_n bring_v in_o a_o law_n against_o themselves_o the_o first_o usurer_n which_o we_o read_v of_o be_v the_o jew_n which_o be_v forbid_v to_o be_v usurer_n yet_o for_o want_v of_o faith_n and_o love_n ezekiel_n and_o nehemiah_n do_v show_v how_o the_o jew_n even_o the_o jew_n which_o receive_v this_o law_n from_o god_n himself_o do_v swerve_v from_o it_o as_o they_o do_v from_o the_o rest_n 5._o first_o they_o do_v lend_v upon_o usury_n to_o stranger_n after_o they_o begin_v to_o lend_v upon_o usury_n to_o their_o brethren_n and_o now_o there_o be_v no_o such_o usurer_n upon_o earth_n as_o the_o jew_n which_o be_v forbid_v to_o be_v usurer_n whereby_o you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o malice_n of_o man_n have_v turn_v mercy_n into_o cruelty_n for_o whereas_o lend_v be_v command_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o man_n 10._o usury_n have_v turn_v it_o to_o the_o undo_n of_o man_n for_o they_o take_v when_o they_o seem_v to_o give_v they_o hurt_v when_o they_o seem_v to_o help_v they_o damage_n when_o they_o seem_v to_o vantage_n therefore_o it_o be_v well_o note_v that_o usury_n 2_o have_v her_o name_n of_o bite_v and_o she_o may_v well_o signify_v bite_v for_o many_o have_v not_o only_o be_v bite_v by_o it_o but_o devour_v by_o it_o that_o be_v consume_v all_o that_o they_o have_v therefore_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 15._o if_o you_o bite_v one_o another_o take_v heed_n you_o be_v not_o devour_v one_o of_o another_o so_o i_o may_v say_v if_o you_o be_v usurer_n one_o to_o another_o take_v heed_n you_o be_v not_o devour_v one_o of_o another_o for_o usurer_n be_v byter_n as_o the_o name_n of_o the_o devil_n do_v declare_v what_o a_o enemy_n he_o be_v so_o the_o name_n of_o usury_n do_v declare_v what_o a_o enemy_n she_o be_v adversary_n that_o you_o may_v know_v usury_n for_o a_o byter_fw-mi her_o name_n do_v signify_v bite_v neschec_n if_o there_o be_v one_o bite_a usury_n and_o another_o heal_a usury_n than_o usury_n shall_v have_v two_o name_n one_o of_o bite_a &_o another_o of_o heal_v but_o all_o usury_n signify_v bite_v to_o show_v that_o all_o usury_n be_v unlawful_a now_o you_o have_v hear_v what_o usury_n be_v &_o of_o what_o it_o be_v derive_v you_o shall_v hear_v the_o unlawfulnesse_n of_o it_o usury_n first_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o charity_n because_o charity_n bid_v we_o to_o give_v every_o man_n his_o own_o and_o to_o require_v no_o more_o than_o our_o own_o but_o usury_n require_v more_o than_o her_o own_o and_o give_v not_o to_o other_o their_o own_o charity_n rejoice_v to_o communicate_v her_o good_n to_o other_o and_o usury_n rejoice_v to_o gather_v other_o man_n good_n to_o herself_o second_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n for_o every_o nation_n have_v some_o law_n against_o usury_n and_o some_o restraint_n against_o usurer_n as_o you_o shall_v hear_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o punishment_n three_o as_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n so_o it_o be_v against_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v the_o natural_a compassion_n which_o shall_v be_v among_o man_n similitude_n you_o see_v a_o river_n when_o it_o go_v by_o a_o empty_a place_n it_o will_v not_o pass_v until_o it_o have_v fill_v that_o empty_a place_n &_o then_o it_o go_v forward_o to_o another_o empty_a place_n and_o fill_v it_o &_o so_o to_o another_o empty_a place_n &_o fill_v it_o always_o fill_v the_o place_n which_o be_v empty_a so_o shall_v we_o the_o rich_a shall_v fill_v the_o poor_a the_o full_a shall_v fill_v the_o hungry_a they_o which_o abound_v shall_v fill_v they_o which_o want_n for_o the_o rich_a be_v but_o god_n amner_n &_o their_o riches_n be_v commit_v to_o they_o of_o god_n to_o distribute_v and_o do_v good_a as_o god_n do_v himself_o as_o the_o water_n be_v charitable_a after_o a_o sort_n so_o be_v the_o air_n for_o it_o go_v to_o empty_a place_n to_o and_o fill_v they_o as_o the_o water_n do_v nature_n can_v abide_v that_o any_o place_n shall_v be_v empty_a and_o therefore_o the_o air_n though_o it_o be_v a_o light_a body_n and_o so_o natural_o ascend_v upward_o yet_o rather_o than_o any_o place_n in_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v empty_a the_o air_n will_v descend_v as_o it_o be_v from_o his_o throne_n and_o go_v into_o cave_n into_o den_n and_o into_o dungeon_n to_o fill_v they_o if_o the_o rich_a be_v so_o good_a to_o their_o empty_a brethren_n as_o the_o air_n and_o water_n be_v to_o other_o empty_a thing_n as_o there_o be_v no_o empty_a place_n in_o the_o world_n so_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o empty_a person_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v the_o rich_a in_o israel_n will_v fill_v the_o poor_a in_o israel_n but_o the_o rich_a make_v the_o poor_a to_o fill_v they_o for_o usurer_n feed_v upon_o the_o poor_a even_o as_o great_a fish_n devour_v the_o small_a therefore_o he_o which_o say_v let_v there_o not_o be_v a_o beggar_n in_o israel_n 4._o say_v to_o let_v there_o not_o be_v a_o usurer_n in_o israel_n for_o if_o there_o be_v usurer_n in_o israel_n there_o will_v be_v beggar_n in_o another_o for_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o 34._o but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o usurer_n see_v how_o he_o hate_v other_o and_o love_v himself_o for_o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o dare_v for_o compassion_n he_o mean_v for_o compassion_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v gain_v by_o his_o pity_n the_o usurer_n love_v the_o borrower_n as_o the_o juye_n love_v the_o oak_n the_o juye_n love_v the_o oak_n to_o grow_v up_o by_o it_o so_o the_o usurer_n love_v the_o borrower_n to_o grow_v rich_a by_o he_o the_o juye_n clasp_v the_o oak_n like_o a_o lover_n but_o it_o clasp_v out_o all_o the_o ivyce_n and_o sap_n that_o the_o oak_n can_v thrive_v after_o so_o the_o usurer_n dare_v like_o a_o friend_n but_o he_o covenant_v like_o a_o enemy_n for_o he_o clasp_v the_o borrower_n with_o such_o band_n that_o ever_o after_o he_o diminish_v as_o fast_o as_o the_o usurer_n increase_v 8._o christ_n expound_v the_o commandment_n which_o forbid_v to_o steal_v say_v lend_v free_o show_v that_o usury_n because_o she_o dare_v not_o free_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o theft_n &_o the_o usurer_n a_o kind_n of_o thief_n for_o else_o this_o exposition_n be_v not_o right_a therefore_o zacheus_n as_o though_o he_o have_v steal_v other_o man_n good_n when_o he_o begin_v to_o repent_v he_o restore_v they_o again_o four_o fold_n even_o as_o thief_n be_v enjoin_v to_o restore_v four_o fold_n for_o that_o which_o they_o have_v steal_v so_o zacheus_n restore_v four_o foul_v as_o though_o he_o have_v steal_v 22._o it_o seem_v that_o zacheus_n be_v no_o great_a thief_n because_o he_o restore_v four_o fold_n for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v get_v wrongful_o for_o he_o get_v but_o the_o four_o part_n of_o his_o good_n wrongful_o at_o the_o most_o or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o have_v restore_v four_o fold_n again_o but_o now_o if_o some_o shall_v restore_v four_o fold_n for_o all_o that_o they_o have_v get_v wrongful_o they_o shall_v restore_v more_o than_o they_o have_v because_o all_o which_o usurer_n get_v they_o get_v wrongful_o for_o their_o occupation_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o therefore_o one_o say_v because_o they_o can_v restore_v four_o fold_n here_o they_o shall_v suffer_v a_o hundred_o fold_n hereafter_o 25._o amaziah_n be_v forbid_v to_o strengthen_v himself_o with_o the_o army_n of_o israel_n only_o because_o israel_n have_v offend_v god_n if_o amaziah_n may_v not_o join_v the_o army_n of_o israel_n with_o his_o army_n to_o strengthen_v he_o dare_v thou_o join_v the_o good_n of_o the_o poor_a with_o thy_o good_n to_o enrich_v thou_o when_o god_n set_v adam_n his_o work_n he_o say_v in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o brow_n shall_v thou_o live_v 19_o not_o in_o the_o sweat_n of_o his_o brow_n but_o in_o the_o sweat_n of_o thy_o brow_n but_o the_o usurer_n live_v in_o the_o sweat_n of_o his_o brow_n &_o her_o brow_n that_o be_v by_o
