nature of the mettal bee it either 〈◊〉 or gold and drawe from thence what reasons we may After that the mettal is taken out of the cat ths belly it can be no longer her child neither can she nourish or make it grow And being once ripened pur●hed and brought to perfection by Art that is by 〈◊〉 It can then neuer come againe to be nourished by the earth for that the mother whi●h is the Sulphere is drawne from 〈◊〉 And it you would put it again● into the earth you cannot giue it such a 〈◊〉 of blements as to make it ●owe It the Archimist can doe any thing with●t let him take the benefit for his labour But I would not haue ignorant 〈…〉 l●d therewith It is an Art vn●●● for them and mee to deale with all But to come ne●rer to the point there is a deuise that Time should cause money to yeeld increase wherein they are driuen to vse the helpe and labour of man This will not serue the turne Vsurie that also it is vnnator all for albeit the labour of man may obtaine benefit yet Reveram there is no increase of the qualitie quantitie or nature of the gold or siluer But the vse that a man hath thereof must make something decrer and of more value then nature or Arte hath made it For though Art hath refined it yet cannot Art increase it but here is the fallacie a man is dr●●en thereby to purchase his owne labour a very vnnaturall thing For by Nature and Reason enery mans trauell should bee imployed for the seruing of his owne ne●●llat●●e turne This is one of the cases I spake of before that men not con●ented with the things of Gods creation according to their owne values will set God to learne as if hee knew not what hee had done and will adde further promsions and meanes then euer was ordained of God Out of these reasōs it may be concluded that the raysing of increase vpon ba●e mony is v●naturall and the meanes vsed to raise benefit thereby is an other course then was originally appointed by God and so directly against nature The consideration whereof ought not to be slightly regarded because God hath left nothing vnpromded that is requisite for the vse of man But there are The Liwe wronged that spare not to lay a very reproachfull ign●mte on this kingdome of the vse of employing and disposing of mony to benefit and great increase about the principall by the way of vsurie And that the lawes of this kingdome eather alone or at the least tolarate such taking of vsurie See how reason and truth is w●onged in whose defence I am occasioned a little to digresle borrow leaue for a fewe words touching that point Casar for had that an Vsurer should be accounted a good or benest man This vnderstanding in all likely-hood connuned a thousand yeares after that For Glenuile chiefe Iustice of England one of the ancienst Writers we haue in the time of king Henry the second censured the goods of an Vsurer at the time of his death to be confisteate to the King the name hath beene so odious that they were not admitted ciuill societie or Christian buriall I meane not to insist much vpon this point and therefore I referre the Reader for his satisfaction Statut. de Iuda sino 37. H. 8.9 13. Eliz 2. ●8 35 Eliza. ● to peruse the margined Statutes wherein he shall finde the trade to be holden accursed and damnable The Trader is odious and the vse therof vtterly forbidden by all the lawes that euer were made in this Kingdome concerning that matter And whosoeuer will enter into true vnderstanding of the reason whether it doth benefit or annoy shall be driuen to confesse a great devasting of the subiects estate therby which in this place I meane not to handle Yet seeing it is so repugnant vnto nature and reason let me craue pardon to goe a little further in this matter and vnder reformation to expresse such reasons for confutation of an error which I hold to bee maintained in this point and furthered and succoured vnder the shadow of a clause in the law In which behalfe because demonstrations are very fit course to discouer the reasons as well of actuall as intellectuall things I haue composed 2. Tables The fust discouering the fallasie and the second the truth Which course I take for that I finde falshood will euer vanish when truth commeth in place The point is this It is holden that the Lender vppon Vsurie may take at one months end his principall and a twelfth part for the vse The like for 3.6 or 9. Moneths apportio ning the vse as if those vvere perfect times to dlaide by being the highest rate he might haue taken if he had forborne his princiall and vse money a whole yeare and so for more or lesse time so he take not his vse before the principall and his contract be not to continue after the taking of his vse As the point is hard to be discouered so can I hardly admit my selfe to meddle therewith whereby to open the way into this seeming Labyrinth which notwtistading I hold to be pla●e Before I come to the Table 37. Her ●8 7 let me set downe the words that they build vpon No man shall lake aboue 10. for the forbearance of 100. for one whole yeare and so after the rate and not about of or for a more or lesse 〈◊〉 or for ronger or shorter time And no more greater gaine or summe thereupon to bee had Although I meane not to handle this cause by the course of a Law argument yet let me craue leaue to see how Reason and Art will conclude in one truth The law being to take construction most strongly and straightly for repressing of Vsury The law it selfe is a prohibiting law in no iote giuing libertie but repressing So are the wordes Negatiue and forbidding And vpon that reason none of these words can be shained to make any tolleration These wordes in the close of the sentence And no more greater game or summe thereupon to be had Do sufficiently explaine that by no meanes 100. li. by any ceurse to be put out may yeeld aboue the gaine of 10. li. for a whole yeare But 100. li. put out for 3.6.9 months and the money and vse taken at that time being within the yeare may and doth yeeld a greater gaine then the rate of 10. li. for a whole yeare The Reason is the Lender may again dispose the same principal and vse ' for more gaine within the same yeare and so not saued by the words nor meaning of the Lawe Let vs see how Reason can bring the former words to this conclusion And so after that rate and not aboue of or for a more or lesse summe or for shorter or longer time These words being in body of the clause haue referēce to a rate which rate is before expressed that the forbearing of 100. shall
