have_v which_o may_v make_v sufficient_a apology_n for_o i_o 1_o first_o see_v the_o harvest_n of_o usurer_n in_o these_o part_n to_o be_v great_a at_o s._n stephens_n in_o walbrooke_n the_o heart_n of_o this_o city_n i_o begin_v to_o labour_v in_o this_o point_n by_o their_o flock_v to_o those_o sermon_n they_o seem_v to_o be_v ripe_a and_o even_o 35_o white_a unto_o the_o harvest_n but_o when_o man_n assemble_v after_o the_o 21._o athenian_a fashion_n it_o common_o prove_v a_o solemn_a hear_n and_o a_o solemn_a forget_v notwithstanding_o perceive_v afterward_o those_o poor_a labour_n to_o have_v make_v some_o little_a impression_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o better_a sort_n i_o be_v move_v to_o make_v this_o impression_n wherein_o after_o my_o plain_a manner_n i_o have_v somewhat_o not_o as_o i_o will_v refine_a that_o which_o then_o be_v more_o rude_o deliver_v cast_v it_o into_o a_o new_a mould_n and_o method_n that_o thou_o may_v carry_v the_o whole_a frame_n in_o thy_o view_n and_o pass_v more_o easy_o from_o point_n to_o point_n and_o add_v much_o more_o then_o in_o the_o throng_n of_o other_o business_n i_o can_v at_o that_o time_n think_v upon_o 2_o a_o second_o motive_n have_v be_v the_o mistake_n of_o some_o which_o have_v occasion_v misreport_n as_o if_o in_o the_o end_n i_o conclude_v nothing_o or_o defend_v some_o kind_n of_o usury_n which_o censure_v i_o may_v impute_v unto_o two_o cause_n the_o first_o be_v ordinary_a upon_o these_o occasion_n where_o the_o most_o attentive_a may_v say_v as_o wise_a and_o learned_a eliphas_n say_v of_o himself_o 12._o my_o ear_n have_v receive_v a_o little_a of_o it_o for_o part_n of_o that_o which_o be_v only_o speak_v must_v needs_o vanish_v in_o the_o air_n before_o it_o can_v be_v full_o fasten_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o fit_v to_o the_o whole_a frame_n and_o current_n of_o speech_n 2_o another_o cause_n be_v the_o narrowness_n of_o the_o point_n in_o question_n for_o every_o question_n as_o the_o learned_a know_v have_v a_o point_n which_o be_v scarce_o divisible_a come_v therefore_o precise_o to_o cut_v a_o usurious_a act_n from_o such_o lawful_a covenant_n as_o do_v next_o adjoine_v upon_o it_o the_o passage_n be_v so_o narrow_a that_o we_o may_v easy_o mistake_v or_o be_v mistake_v notwithstanding_o thus_o far_o i_o must_v appeal_v to_o the_o auditory_a which_o then_o be_v that_o when_o i_o come_v to_o those_o strait_n at_o the_o conclusion_n and_o determination_n of_o the_o question_n purposely_o to_o avoid_v these_o misconceite_n i_o do_v often_o iterate_v and_o beat_v upon_o the_o main_a conclusion_n that_o all_o usury_n proper_o so_o call_v be_v simple_o unlawful_a but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v either_o not_o so_o exact_o deliver_v or_o distinct_o take_v as_o it_o shall_v the_o only_a remedy_n which_o now_o remain_v be_v to_o exhibit_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o in_o write_v which_o then_o be_v say_v that_o such_o as_o make_v scruple_n may_v at_o their_o pleasure_n and_o best_a leisure_n pause_v upon_o it_o 3_o last_o of_o all_o after_o that_o by_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o point_n in_o public_a i_o have_v trouble_v the_o water_n and_o stir_v up_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n to_o give_v censure_n according_a to_o their_o several_a apprehension_n i_o have_v take_v time_n to_o observe_v what_o yet_o can_v further_o be_v urge_v for_o usury_n or_o object_v against_o that_o which_o then_o be_v deliver_v whereby_o be_v better_a furnish_v by_o reason_n of_o matter_n new_o minister_v then_o at_o the_o first_o i_o can_v i_o think_v it_o part_v of_o my_o duty_n to_o give_v better_a satisfaction_n in_o this_o kind_n and_o to_o meet_v with_o such_o probability_n as_o be_v or_o may_v with_o any_o colour_n be_v suggest_v among_o which_o if_o i_o can_v find_v any_o ground_n of_o reason_n for_o the_o defence_n of_o any_o usury_n at_o all_o i_o will_v most_o willing_o either_o acknowledge_v it_o or_o
