to_o law_n which_o in_o their_o very_a nature_n be_v moral_a and_o perpetual_a and_o therefore_o bound_v we_o as_o much_o as_o they_o and_o that_o the_o law_n against_o usury_n be_v not_o of_o this_o

stranger_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o usury_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v not_o unlawful_a or_o unjust_a nor_o can_v be_v reckon_v oppression_n as_o they_o that_o plead_v against_o it_o affirm_v it_o be_v for_o have_v it_o be_v so_o then_o god_n will_v not_o have_v allow_v the_o jew_n to_o lend_v to_o stranger_n upon_o usury_n as_o he_o do_v nay_o
