unto_o its_o ground_n first_o negative_o express_v in_o the_o text_n i_o have_v neither_o lend_v on_o usury_n nor_o have_v man_n lend_v to_o i_o on_o usury_n i_o intend_v not_o here_o at_o all_o to_o enter_v upon_o the_o common_a place_n of_o usury_n it_o shall_v suffice_v only_o to_o say_v that_o the_o old_a usury_n in_o practice_n among_o the_o jew_n be_v wide_o different_a from_o that_o which_o our_o law_n permit_v the_o precept_n which_o allow_v it_o to_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o set_v bound_n to_o their_o avarice_n that_o it_o seem_v to_o have_v enlarge_v its_o mouth_n at_o least_o as_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n determine_v usury_n lawful_a to_o be_v exact_v only_o upon_o gentile_n not_o brethren_n jew_n and_o most_o probable_o on_o the_o seven_o nation_n who_o god_n have_v command_v they_o to_o afflict_v and_o cast_v out_o though_o afterward_o for_o their_o punishment_n he_o suffer_v the_o remain_v of_o they_o to_o co-inhabit_a the_o holy_a land_n with_o his_o people_n the_o jew_n think_v themselves_o not_o only_o allow_v but_o in_o a_o sort_n oblige_v by_o the_o precept_n of_o afflict_v they_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o extort_v from_o they_o all_o they_o can_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o wherever_o they_o lend_v on_o usury_n which_o by_o degree_n they_o do_v to_o other_o than_o those_o seven_o nation_n indeed_o to_o any_o who_o need_v make_v they_o borrower_n they_o make_v all_o the_o advantage_n they_o can_v on_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o borrower_n and_o oppression_n extortion_n or_o grind_v the_o face_n of_o the_o poor_a become_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o usury_n as_o not_o only_o the_o hebrew_n but_o many_o of_o the_o oriental_a name_n for_o usury_n still_o import_n whereas_o i_o suppose_v our_o law_n which_o state_n usury_n punish_v extortion_n whence_o it_o be_v conclusible_a that_o they_o who_o urge_v text_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n with_o so_o much_o heat_n against_o the_o present_a use_n among_o we_o do_v not_o speak_v ad_fw-la idem_fw-la if_o ad_fw-la idem_fw-la nominis_fw-la not_o rei_fw-la now_o as_o to_o the_o clergy_n in_o this_o case_n i_o wish_v fa●re_v the_o great_a number_n of_o they_o be_v as_o able_a to_o purge_v themselves_o of_o the_o latter_a clause_n that_o they_o have_v not_o take_v on_o usury_n as_o they_o be_v of_o the_o former_a that_o they_o have_v not_o lend_v but_o to_o quit_v the_o whole_a matter_n in_o so_o strict_a a_o acception_n it_o be_v the_o observation_n of_o a_o learned_a textuary_n that_o under_o the_o one_o kind_n of_o borrow_v and_o lend_v he_o comprise_v all_o other_o matter_n which_o man_n use_v to_o transact_v among_o themselves_o in_o point_n of_o deal_v or_o traffic_n and_o so_o undoubted_o the_o sum_n of_o what_o the_o prophet_n mean_v be_v more_o general_a yet_o reducible_a to_o these_o two_o point_n he_o have_v neither_o be_v guilty_a in_o any_o case_n of_o rigorous_a exaction_n of_o what_o be_v his_o own_o nor_o of_o detention_n or_o undue_a hold_v what_o be_v another_o no_o one_o have_v matter_n of_o contention_n with_o he_o in_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n nor_o can_v for_o these_o any_o man_n curse_v he_o i_o be_o sure_a for_o the_o clergy_n general_o i_o have_v the_o same_o plea_n to_o enter_v 1._o it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o extortion_n or_o severe_a exaction_n that_o we_o meet_v with_o such_o opposition_n and_o obloquy_n as_o what_o at_o present_a we_o labour_v under_o i_o know_v indeed_o there_o be_v who_o account_n receive_v of_o tithe_n and_o such_o revenue_n which_o ancient_a nurse_n father_n and_o mother_n bequeath_v to_o the_o church_n to_o be_v exaction_n but_o such_o must_v pardon_v we_o if_o we_o think_v what_o bounty_n give_v indigent_a industry_n may_v harmless_o receive_v and_o further_o crave_v it_o may_v be_v think_v hard_o that_o such_o who_o will_v not_o give_v we_o any_o thing_n themselves_o shall_v seek_v to_o take_v away_o from_o we_o the_o ancient_a donation_n of_o other_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o they_o who_o have_v be_v unquestionable_o learn_v in_o the_o law_n have_v say_v that_o he_o understand_v not_o how_o he_o hold_v his_o land_n who_o think_v his_o tithe_n his_o own_o and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o family_n now_o in_o be_v which_o can_v plead_v in_o a_o uninterrupted_a line_n to_o have_v enjoy_v any_o possession_n near_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n have_v do_v this_o of_o tithe_n much_o less_o which_o have_v have_v revenue_n settle_v by_o half_a so_o many_o statute_n and_o legal_a security_n as_o these_o but_o as_o to_o this_o of_o tithe_n and_o other_o church-revenue_n i_o shall_v only_o be_v bold_a to_o speak_v in_o my_o own_o profession_n use_v too_o the_o word_n of_o one_o vast_o able_a than_o myself_o therein_o that_o god_n accept_v of_o thing_n hammond_n dr._n hammond_n give_v he_o and_o so_o hold_v a_o propriety_n as_o well_o in_o the_o new_a as_o old_a testament_n and_o that_o god_n get_v this_o
