give_v leave_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o put_v away_o their_o innocent_a wife_n with_o a_o bill_n of_o divorcement_n do_v not_o disprove_v the_o law_n forbid_v adultery_n to_o be_v moral_a but_o prove_v itself_o to_o be_v judicial_a so_o permission_n of_o usury_n towards_o stranger_n do_v not_o prove_v the_o law_n forbid_v usury_n to_o be_v moral_a but_o itself_o be_v evident_o prove_v to_o be_v judicial_a and_o there_o may_v be_v reason_n also_o of_o this_o toleration_n 1._o the_o hard-heartednesse_n and_o covetousness_n of_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v such_o that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o

such_o as_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o exact_v usury_n of_o the_o jew_n therefore_o that_o neither_o the_o gentile_n by_o inequality_n of_o negotiation_n shall_v eat_v up_o the_o jew_n nor_o yet_o the_o jew_n shall_v oppress_v one_o another_o by_o usury_n it_o may_v be_v that_o in_o these_o civil_a respect_n the_o lord_n permit_v it_o towards_o the_o gentile_n which_o toleration_n in_o civil_a
