bite_a usury_n why_o then_o all_o usury_n be_v forbid_v for_o all_o usury_n come_v of_o bite_v so_o the_o wise_a god_n have_v give_v it_o a_o name_n to_o condemn_v it_o last_o they_o allege_v the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n for_o it_o and_o say_v the_o queen_n statute_n do_v allow_v we_o to_o take_v upon_o usury_n ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o these_o be_v like_o the_o jew_n which_o say_v 7._o we_o have_v a_o law_n and_o by_o our_o law_n he_o shall_v die_v when_o they_o can_v not_o say_v by_o god_n law_n he_o shall_v die_v than_o they_o say_v by_o our_o law_n he_o shall_v die_v so_o when_o they_o can_v say_v by_o god_n law_n we_o may_v take_v usury_n they_o say_v by_o man_n law_n we_o may_v take_v usury_n this_o be_v the_o poor_a defence_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o if_o god_n law_n forbid_v thou_o can_v any_o law_n of_o man_n excuse_v thou_o as_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v adam_n to_o say_v 3._o the_o woman_n bid_v i_o so_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o usurer_n to_o say_v the_o law_n do_v licence_v i_o but_o he_o can_v say_v the_o law_n do_v license_v i_o for_o though_o peradventure_o our_o law_n do_v tolerate_v more_o than_o shall_v be_v tolerate_v yet_o i_o will_v have_v you_o know_v that_o our_o law_n do_v not_o allow_v ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o nor_o five_o in_o the_o hundred_o nor_o one_o in_o the_o hundred_o nor_o any_o usury_n at_o all_o but_o there_o be_v a_o restraint_n in_o our_o law_n that_o no_o usurer_n take_v above_o ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o it_o do_v not_o allow_v ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o but_o punish_v that_o tyrant_n which_o exact_v above_o ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o it_o be_v much_o like_o that_o toleration_n which_o we_o read_v of_o divorce_n for_o the_o hardness_n of_o man_n heart_n christ_n say_v that_o moses_n do_v suffer_v the_o man_n and_o wife_n to_o part_v a_o sunder_o so_o for_o the_o hardness_n of_o man_n heart_n 7._o our_o moses_n our_o prince_n be_v fain_o to_o suffer_v as_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o usury_n because_o otherwise_o no_o man_n will_v lend_v these_o be_v the_o best_a excuse_n which_o our_o usurer_n have_v to_o plead_v for_o themselves_o against_o they_o come_v before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o god_n &_o if_o their_o reason_n will_v not_o stand_v before_o man_n nor_o their_o own_o conscience_n how_o will_v they_o stand_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o he_o which_o speak_v to_o these_o make_v himself_o a_o mock_n christ_n preach_v many_o sermon_n and_o be_v never_o scorn_v at_o any_o but_o when_o he_o preach_v against_o covetousness_n they_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v mock_v 14._o show_v that_o these_o kind_n of_o man_n be_v most_o incorrigible_a and_o wed_a to_o their_o sin_n till_o death_n make_v they_o part_n yet_o for_o their_o great_a condemnation_n we_o be_v command_v to_o speak_v to_o they_o which_o will_v not_o hear_v 5._o of_o which_o number_n be_v every_o reader_n of_o this_o sermon_n if_o he_o be_v a_o usurer_n after_o like_a now_o you_o long_o to_o hear_v what_o the_o usurer_n be_v like_a to_o what_o shall_v i_o liken_v this_o generation_n they_o be_v like_o a_o butler_n box_n for_o as_o all_o the_o counter_n at_o last_o come_v to_o the_o butler_n so_o all_o the_o money_n at_o last_o come_v to_o the_o usurer_n ten_o after_o ten_o &_o ten_o after_o ten_o and_o ten_o to_o ten_o till_o at_o last_o he_o receive_v not_o only_o ten_o for_o a_o hundred_o but_o a_o hundred_o for_o ten_o this_o be_v the_o only_a difference_n that_o the_o butler_n can_v receive_v no_o more_o than_o he_o deliver_v but_o the_o usurer_n receive_v more_o than_o he_o deliver_v they_o be_v like_o a_o moth_n even_o as_o a_o moth_n eat_v a_o hole_n in_o cloth_n so_o usury_n eat_v a_o hole_n in_o silver_n if_o you_o have_v a_o piece_n of_o silver_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o a_o hundred_o pound_n in_o one_o year_n usury_n will_v eat_v a_o hole_n in_o it_o as_o big_a as_o ten_o pound_n in_o two_o year_n she_o will_v eat_v a_o hole_n as_o big_a as_o twenty_o pound_n in_o three_o year_n she_o will_v eat_v a_o hole_n as_o big_a as_o thirty_o pound_n nay_o now_o they_o say_v he_o be_v but_o a_o bad_a husband_n which_o can_v eat_v a_o hole_n as_o big_a as_o fifty_o pound_n in_o a_o year_n that_o be_v which_o can_v gain_v half_o in_o half_a how_o many_o hole_n have_v these_o moth_n eat_v in_o poor_a man_n garment_n they_o be_v like_o nonresident_n that_o be_v such_o bad_a member_n that_o no_o man_n speak_v for_o they_o but_o themselves_o as_o no_o man_n stand_v for_o nonresidencie_n but_o he_o which_o be_v a_o nonresident_a or_o he_o which_o will_v be_v a_o nonresident_a so_o no_o man_n stand_v for_o usury_n but_o he_o which_o be_v a_o usurer_n or_o he_o which_o will_v be_v a_o usurer_n they_o be_v like_o jezabel_n which_o say_v 7._o let_v i_o alone_o i_o have_v a_o way_n if_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o live_v say_v the_o false_a steward_n i_o know_v what_o to_o do_v i_o will_v deceive_v so_o if_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o live_v say_v the_o usurer_n i_o know_v what_o to_o do_v i_o will_v oppress_v 4._o if_o i_o can_v live_v by_o buy_v nor_o by_o sell_v nor_o by_o flatter_v nor_o by_o labour_v i_o will_v live_v by_o oppression_n but_o as_o one_o in_o his_o comment_n speak_v to_o the_o false_a steward_n thou_o say_v i_o know_v what_o to_o do_v but_o do_v thou_o know_v what_o thou_o shall_v suffer_v so_o i_o say_v to_o usurer_n you_o say_v you_o know_v what_o to_o do_v but_o do_v you_o know_v what_o you_o shall_v suffer_v in_o deed_n he_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v which_o know_v not_o to_o do_v well_o and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v of_o his_o persecutor_n that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v 34._o here_o i_o will_v end_v the_o first_o day_n examination_n now_o i_o may_v conclude_v with_o paul_n 10._o i_o have_v not_o speak_v but_o the_o lord_n &_o therefore_o as_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o saul_n 22._o that_o he_o persecute_v he_o so_o they_o which_o resist_v this_o doctrine_n do_v contemn_v he_o and_o not_o i_o the_o end_n of_o the_o first_o sermon_n the_o examination_n of_o usury_n the_o second_o sermon_n it_o remain_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o usurer_n punishment_n then_o what_o may_v be_v think_v of_o they_o which_o do_v not_o take_v usury_n but_o give_v usury_n last_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v which_o have_v get_v their_o riches_n by_o usury_n usurer_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o punishment_n not_o only_a god_n law_n but_o even_o the_o cannon_n law_n do_v so_o condemn_v usury_n that_o first_o it_o do_v excommunicate_v he_o from_o the_o church_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o communion_n with_o saint_n second_o it_o do_v detain_v he_o from_o the_o sacrament_n as_o though_o he_o have_v no_o communion_n with_o christ._n three_o it_o do_v deprive_v he_o of_o his_o sepulchre_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o be_v bury_v as_o though_o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o lie_v in_o the_o earth_n but_o to_o lie_v in_o hell_n last_o it_o make_v his_o will_n to_o be_v no_o will_n as_o though_o his_o good_n be_v not_o his_o own_o for_o nothing_o be_v we_o but_o that_o which_o we_o have_v right_o get_v &_o therefore_o we_o say_v it_o be_v i_o by_o right_n as_o though_o it_o be_v not_o we_o unless_o it_o be_v we_o by_o right_n this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o man_n law_n now_o you_o shall_v hear_v the_o judgement_n of_o god_n law_n a_o usurer_n do_v receive_v two_o income_n one_o of_o the_o borrower_n and_o another_o of_o the_o revenger_n of_o the_o borrower_n he_o look_v for_o gain_v but_o of_o the_o revenger_n he_o look_v for_o punishment_n therefore_o all_o the_o scripture_n prophesi_v evil_a unto_o he_o as_o michatah_n do_v to_o achab._n solomon_n say_v 8._o he_o which_o increase_v his_o riches_n by_o usury_n gather_v for_o they_o which_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o the_o poor_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o he_o have_v load_v himself_o like_o a_o cart_n he_o shall_v be_v unloden_v like_o a_o cart_n again_o and_o they_o shall_v inherit_v his_o money_n for_o who_o he_o do_v never_o gather_v it_o for_o he_o which_o be_v unmerciful_a to_o the_o poor_a mean_v not_o to_o gather_v for_o they_o which_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o the_o poor_a but_o solomon_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v his_o heir_n which_o will_v be_v merciful_a as_o he_o be_v unmerciful_a now_o mark_v whether_o this_o prophecy_n of_o solomon_n be_v true_a i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o in_o this_o city_n do_v increase_v by_o usury_n but_o this_o pprophecy_n seem_v to_o be_v verify_v of_o many_o for_o it_o be_v note_v that_o the_o

the_o pain_n and_o care_n and_o labour_n of_o another_o for_o he_o take_v no_o pain_n himself_o but_o only_o expect_v the_o time_n when_o his_o interest_n will_v come_v in_o like_o the_o belly_n which_o do_v no_o work_n &_o yet_o eat_v all_o the_o meat_n when_o god_n have_v finish_v his_o creation_n he_o say_v unto_o man_n and_o unto_o beast_n and_o unto_o fish_n increase_v and_o multiply_v 28._o but_o he_o never_o say_v unto_o money_n increase_n and_o multiply_v because_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a thing_n which_o have_v no_o seed_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o engender_v therefore_o he_o which_o say_v to_o his_o money_n increase_n &_o multiply_v beget_v a_o monstrous_a birth_n like_o anah_n 24._o which_o devise_v a_o creature_n which_o god_n have_v not_o create_v before_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n 46._o if_o you_o love_v but_o they_o which_o love_v you_o what_o be_v you_o better_o than_o the_o publican_n for_o they_o love_v their_o brethren_n so_o i_o may_v say_v if_o you_o will_v lend_v to_o none_o but_o to_o they_o which_o will_v pay_v you_o usury_n for_o it_o what_o be_v you_o better_o than_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o jew_n will_v lend_v for_o usury_n &_o if_o you_o be_v no_o better_o than_o the_o jew_n than_o you_o shall_v speed_v no_o better_o than_o they_o for_o as_o christ_n say_v 20._o except_o your_o righteousness_n do_v exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o pharisy_n your_o reward_n shall_v not_o exceed_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o pharisy_n so_o except_o your_o charity_n do_v exceed_v the_o charity_n of_o the_o jew_n your_o reward_n shall_v not_o exceed_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o jew_n all_o this_o do_v show_v that_o the_o usurer_n be_v like_o esau_n of_o who_o god_n say_v 3._o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v now_o in_o the_o 112._o psalm_n you_o shall_v see_v who_o be_v like_o jacob_n of_o who_o god_n say_v 5._o jacob_n have_v i_o love_v for_o there_o david_n say_v a_o good_a man_n be_v merciful_a and_o dare_v and_o straight_o upon_o it_o he_o set_v this_o crown_n he_o shall_v never_o be_v move_v but_o be_v have_v in_o perpetual_a remembrance_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v this_o be_v the_o good_a man_n usury_n this_o be_v his_o increase_n even_o a_o good_a name_n &_o everlasting_a joy_n again_o in_o the_o 23._o of_o exod._n it_o be_v say_v lend_v unto_o he_o which_o want_v without_o usury_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v bless_v thou_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v let_v the_o lord_n pay_v the_o increase_n fear_v not_o to_o be_v loser_n by_o do_v good_a for_o god_n have_v give_v his_o word_n to_o requite_v it_o himself_o 10._o as_o he_o say_v to_o they_o which_o be_v afraid_a to_o pay_v tithe_n and_o offer_v sacrifice_n 10._o try_v i_o if_o i_o will_v not_o pour_v down_o a_o blessing_n upon_o you_o so_o he_o seem_v to_o say_v unto_o they_o which_o be_v afraid_a to_o lend_v try_v i_o if_o i_o will_v not_o pour_v down_o a_o blessing_n upon_o you_o who_o will_v you_o trust_v if_o you_o do_v not_o trust_v your_o creator_n your_o father_n your_o redeemer_n your_o preserver_n and_o your_o saviour_n now_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o usury_n you_o shall_v hear_v how_o many_o kind_n there_o be_v of_o it_o as_o other_o craft_n be_v call_v mystery_n so_o i_o may_v fit_o call_v it_o the_o mystery_n of_o usury_n for_o they_o have_v devise_v mo_z sort_n of_o usury_n than_o there_o be_v trick_n at_o card_n i_o can_v reckon_v half_a and_o i_o be_o afraid_a to_o show_v you_o all_o lest_o i_o shall_v teach_v you_o to_o be_v usurer_n while_o i_o dissuade_v you_o from_o usury_n yet_o i_o will_v bring_v forth_o some_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n which_o be_v allege_v against_o these_o shall_v condemn_v all_o the_o rest_n usurer_n some_o will_v not_o take_v usury_n but_o they_o will_v have_v the_o use_n of_o your_o pasture_n or_o your_o land_n or_o your_o orchard_n or_o your_o team_n or_o your_o kine_n until_o you_o pay_v the_o money_n again_o which_o in_o that_o time_n will_v grow_v to_o a_o great_a gain_n to_o the_o usurer_n and_o a_o great_a loss_n to_o the_o borrower_n than_o if_o he_o have_v pay_v more_o money_n than_o other_o usurer_n be_v wont_a to_o take_v some_o will_v not_o take_v usury_n but_o they_o will_v take_v plate_n and_o vessel_n and_o tapistree_fw-mi and_o bed_v and_o other_o household_n stuff_n to_o use_v and_o wear_v until_o their_o money_n come_v home_o which_o will_v lose_v more_o in_o the_o wear_n than_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o money_n will_v come_v to_o this_o usury_n be_v forbid_v in_o the_o 2._o of_o amos_n where_o god_n complain_v fay_v they_o lie_v down_o upon_o the_o clothes_n which_o be_v lay_v to_o pledge_v show_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o lie_v down_o upon_o such_o clothes_n that_o be_v we_o

which_o they_o lend_v and_o then_o they_o will_v covenant_n that_o if_o he_o bring_v not_o the_o money_n again_o by_o such_o a_o day_n he_o forfet_v his_o pawn_n which_o day_n the_o usurer_n know_v

where_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v usury_n or_o vantage_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o take_v the_o forfeiture_n for_o than_o thou_o take_v vantage_n when_o thou_o take_v more_o than_o thou_o lend_v some_o will_v not_o take_v usury_n but_o they_o will_v buy_v some_o thing_n at_o a_o small_a price_n and_o then_o covenant_n with_o the_o borrower_n that_o he_o buy_v the_o same_o again_o of_o the_o same_o price_n at_o such_o day_n which_o day_n the_o usurer_n know_v that_o the_o borrower_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v and_o so_o he_o get_v for_o a_o

this_o usury_n be_v forbid_v in_o 2._o thes._n 3._o 10._o where_o it_o be_v say_v he_o which_o will_v not_o work_v let_v he_o not_o eat_v some_o will_v not_o take_v usury_n but_o if_o he_o be_v a_o

some_o will_v not_o take_v usury_n but_o if_o you_o have_v not_o present_a money_n to_o pay_v for_o their_o ware_n they_o will_v set_v a_o high_a price_n of_o they_o for_o the_o forbear_n of_o the_o

they_o sell_v time_n there_o be_v other_o usurer_n which_o will_v not_o lend_v themselves_o but_o give_v leave_n to_o their_o wife_n and_o they_o play_v like_o huckster_n that_o be_v every_o month_n
