follow_v that_o the_o name_n of_o it_o shall_v make_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v nocent_a without_o exception_n therefore_o no_o doubt_n you_o be_v great_o deceive_v herein_o for_o those_o word_n i_o

it_o sufficient_o by_o reason_n for_o your_o better_a resolution_n it_o seem_v by_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o the_o original_n of_o these_o outcry_n shall_v proceed_v from_o the_o poor_a first_o because_o they_o of_o all_o other_o have_v most_o occasion_n to_o borrow_v and_o whether_o shall_v they_o repair_v but_o to_o the_o rich_a next_o because_o when_o they_o be_v oppress_v by_o reason_n of_o want_n they_o can_v not_o use_v those_o remedy_n the_o rich_a may_v and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o make_v they_o to_o exclaim_v against_o they_o yea_o to_o conclude_v these_o exclamation_n can_v never_o be_v construe_v to_o come_v from_o the_o rich_a for_o they_o will_v soon_o crucify_v than_o curse_v the_o poor_a because_o as_o solomon_n say_v he_o make_v his_o good_n

long_o that_o i_o may_v just_o cut_v short_a your_o logician_n cavil_v with_o a_o laconian_n quib_n &_o yet_o your_o matter_n be_v more_o tedious_a to_o remember_v than_o troublesome_a to_o answer_v

it_o be_v not_o one_o but_o many_o sin_n that_o cause_v the_o destruction_n of_o that_o city_n phi._n i_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o usury_n be_v much_o use_v in_o that_o city_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v no_o cause_n thereby_o that_o shall_v make_v i_o to_o yield_v to_o your_o argument_n for_o the_o lord_n in_o that_o place_n mean_v not_o the_o interest_n that_o one_o richman_n take_v of_o a_o other_o but_o the_o usury_n that_o the_o rich_a take_v of_o the_o poor_a by_o oppression_n &_o that_o we_o may_v perceive_v apparent_o in_o the_o 5._o of_o nehemiah_n where_o the_o rich_a have_v get_v from_o the_o poor_a all_o their_o land_n house_n vinyarde_n corn_n &_o what_o they_o have_v into_o their_o hand_n verse_n 11._o insomuch_o as_o the_o exclamation_n of_o the_o poor_a of_o that_o city_n be_v very_o pitiful_a against_o the_o rich_a until_o such_o time_n as_o the_o same_o prophet_n do_v make_v a_o mitigation_n thereof_o so_o that_o the_o intrusion_n of_o your_o last_o position_n be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n because_o our_o talk_n tend_v only_o for_o the_o take_n of_o interest_n of_o the_o rich_a tich_z you_o still_o invert_v my_o proof_n at_o your_o own_o pleasure_n but_o yet_o i_o ground_n not_o my_o opinion_n upon_o your_o persuasion_n for_o i_o can_v see_v but_o that_o usury_n be_v very_o contemptible_a the_o prophet_n david_n declare_v who_o shall_v dwell_v in_o

for_o it_o but_o if_o you_o shall_v demand_v what_o reason_n shall_v enforce_v i_o to_o say_v so_o then_o i_o will_v make_v this_o answer_n if_o you_o confer_v all_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n together_o tend_v or_o pertain_v to_o this_o purpose_n concern_v usury_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o every_o part_n have_v a_o special_a respect_n to_o this_o end_n to_o support_v and_o profit_v the_o
