why_o may_v i_o not_o take_v so_o 1._o that_o royal_a principle_n of_o nature_n do_v as_o 1._o thou_o will_v be_v do_v by_o must_v be_v expound_v and_o understand_v according_a to_o the_o ground_n

like_a absurd_a and_o abominable_a non-consequents_a demonstrate_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o usurer_n inference_n and_o that_o that_o royal_a law_n and_o rule_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v not_o general_a but_o restraineable_a to_o that_o will_v of_o man_n which_o be_v rule_v by_o nature_n and_o god_n law_n 2._o we_o must_v then_o have_v recourse_n to_o this_o general_a fountain_n of_o the_o second_o table_n and_o fetch_v light_a and_o direction_n thence_o when_o we_o have_v no_o express_v and_o special_a word_n in_o god_n book_n but_o the_o scripture_n have_v clear_o and_o direct_o determine_v and_o resolve_v the_o point_n of_o usury_n 3._o if_o the_o usurer_n be_v in_o the_o borrower_n case_n he_o will_v not_o willing_o as_o he_o pretend_v give_v ten_o in_o the_o hundred_o i_o mean_v with_o a_o absolute_a and_o free_a will_n but_o of_o force_n and_o constraint_n because_o without_o pay_v after_o that_o rate_n he_o can_v have_v it_o if_o a_o man_n will_v borrow_v upon_o usury_n either_o to_o engross_v or_o forestall_v or_o to_o compass_v some_o unlawful_a matter_n that_o be_v a_o corrupt_a will_n and_o no_o 1._o rule_n but_o if_o his_o desire_n so_o to_o borrow_v be_v just_a and_o lawful_a as_o in_o some_o case_n it_o may_v be_v than_o it_o be_v no_o entire_a will_n but_o mix_v and_o force_v by_o some_o necessity_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o a_o great_a evil_n and_o therefore_o deem_v in_o the_o eye_n both_o of_o law_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v no_o will_n at_o all_o he_o that_o will_v borrow_v shall_v have_v need_n to_o borrow_v for_o a_o needless_a desire_n be_v unlawful_a and_o he_o who_o have_v need_n to_o borrow_v will_v not_o willing_o borrow_v but_o for_o need_n much_o less_o will_v he_o pay_v usury_n if_o with_o convenience_n he_o may_v borrow_v free_o therefore_o the_o will_n of_o the_o borrower_n in_o this_o case_n be_v either_o corrupt_a or_o no_o will_n at_o all_o and_o so_o consequent_o without_o the_o compass_n of_o christ_n rule_n the_o will_n of_o the_o borrower_n in_o this_o case_n be_v like_o the_o will_n of_o a_o honest_a traveller_n in_o give_v his_o purse_n to_o the_o arrant_a thief_n for_o fear_v he_o shall_v loose_v both_o purse_n and_o life_n be_v this_o man_n willing_a think_v you_o to_o loose_v his_o money_n or_o like_o the_o will_n of_o a_o man_n who_o house_n be_v on_o fire_n pluck_v down_o part_n thereof_o to_o save_v the_o rest_n willing_o indeed_o as_o the_o case_n stand_v with_o he_o yet_o not_o simple_o but_o upon_o necessity_n so_o the_o borrower_n will_v be_v not_o free_a but_o force_v and_o so_o will_v against_o will_n usury_n be_v not_o forbid_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n 2._o therefore_o in_o all_o likelihood_n no_o such_o sin_n as_o you_o say_v it_o be_v 1._o though_o it_o

scripture_n negative_o do_v not_o hold_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o it_o be_v forbid_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o namely_o in_o the_o moral_a law_n of_o god_n which_o be_v common_a and_o perpetual_a 2._o bite_a usury_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o yet_o condemn_v by_o the_o usurer_n themselves_o 3._o neither_o be_v remove_v the_o neighbour_n mark_v
