because_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o verity_n and_o therefore_o to_o charity_n for_o god_n who_o be_v truth_n have_v forbid_v all_o untruth_n as_o that_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o he_o and_o so_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o charity_n and_o obedience_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n second_o it_o be_v to_o the_o hurt_n of_o the_o teller_n because_o psal_n 5.6_o the_o lie_a mouth_n destroy_v the_o soul_n so_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o love_n which_o a_o man_n owe_v to_o himself_o now_o then_o though_o a_o man_n may_v help_v his_o brother_n and_o neighbour_n with_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o good_n and_o

with_o the_o hurt_n but_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o borrower_n but_o whereas_o usury_n be_v simple_o unlawful_a and_o evil_a i_o may_v answer_v with_o some_o of_o the_o learned_a when_o man_n make_v
