to_o lend_v to_o usury_n consider_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n be_v love_n see_v therefore_o it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o love_n of_o thy_o neighbour_n so_o to_o lend_v as_o both_o the_o

thereby_o and_o hurt_v otherwise_o if_o that_o the_o money_n of_o the_o lender_n be_v not_o employ_v or_o the_o cunning_a and_o skill_n of_o the_o borrower_n lie_v idle_a and_o dead_a in_o this_o second_o question_n answer_n answer_n and_o answer_v note_n first_o that_o he_o put_v his_o case_n of_o plain_a usury_n that_o be_v to_o lend_v for_o gain_v and_o to_o receive_v increase_n and_o more_o than_o the_o principal_a and_o that_o compact_a usury_n too_o upon_o covenant_n and_o moreover_o strong_o secure_v upon_o bond_n second_o note_v his_o limitation_n of_o this_o usury_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o borrower_n such_o man_n as_o be_v rich_a and_o wealthy_a not_o poor_a and_o fall_v in_o decay_n and_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o end_n to_o

three_o and_o four_o question_n which_o concern_v borrow_v upon_o usury_n which_o i_o omit_v to_o set_v down_o here_o because_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o question_n of_o lend_v upon_o usury_n neither_o will_v i_o stand_v with_o he_o therein_o to_o be_v for_o his_o necessary_a use_n of_o preservation_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o family_n and_o for_o preservation_n of_o his_o estate_n and_o

other_o man_n land_n ergo_fw-la by_o this_o limitation_n and_o restriction_n and_o by_o confession_n of_o m._n c._n all_o lend_n upon_o usury_n to_o the_o poor_a that_o never_o attain_a competent_a wealth_n though_o it_o be_v to_o purchase_v and_o compass_v some_o matter_n to_o bring_v they_o out_o of_o poverty_n or_o to_o the_o decay_a till_o they_o be_v out_o of_o decay_n and_o have_v recover_v their_o former_a estate_n or_o to_o nobleman_n gentleman_n and_o other_o rich_a man_n which_o be_v in_o decay_v and_o in_o danger_n to_o impair_v and_o diminish_v their_o estate_n and_o inheritance_n or_o have_v not_o present_o to_o preserve_v themselves_o and_o their_o family_n answerablie_o to_o their_o estate_n without_o borrow_v for_o a_o time_n be_v forbid_v by_o those_o law_n and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o break_v the_o neck_n of_o usury_n and_o to_o condemn_v all_o the_o usurer_n in_o england_n i_o think_v m._n c._n in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o four_o question_n make_v a_o quaere_fw-la whether_o he_o that_o be_v drive_v to_o borrow_v upon_o usury_n to_o preserve_v his_o estate_n and_o inheritance_n be_v not_o better_a to_o borrow_v of_o a_o man_n of_o no_o sound_a religion_n than_o of_o one_o that_o profess_v the_o truth_n although_o in_o all_o other_o traffic_n the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v draw_v we_o rather_o to_o deal_v with_o those_o which_o be_v of_o the_o household_n of_o faith_n than_o with_o stranger_n which_o argue_v that_o he_o hold_v the_o lend_n to_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v sin_n at_o the_o least_o in_o the_o lender_n so_o then_o m._n c._n resolution_n be_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o take_v usury_n only_o of_o the_o rich_a and_o wealthy_a and_o that_o of_o they_o too_o only_o then_o when_o they_o borrow_v to_o purchase_v or_o to_o compass_v some_o great_a matter_n to_o increase_v their_o riches_n and_o wealth_n now_o this_o thing_n which_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o lender_n be_v unlawful_a in_o the_o borrower_n as_o m._n c._n avouch_v in_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o four_o question_n in_o these_o word_n every_o man_n may_v not_o borrow_v lawful_o much_o less_o of_o usury_n for_o albeit_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o borrow_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o punishment_n for_o sin_n and_o a_o correction_n which_o god_n lay_v upon_o his_o child_n when_o they_o be_v drive_v to_o borrow_v etc._n etc._n wherefore_o it_o be_v a_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o a_o matter_n wherein_o every_o one_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v humble_v it_o be_v also_o clear_a that_o a_o man_n ought_v not_o
