to_o be_v find_v in_o these_o man_n write_n which_o have_v give_v such_o encouragement_n to_o the_o usurer_n of_o our_o time_n chap._n vii_o of_o their_o assertion_n who_o have_v most_o favour_v usury_n have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o those_o banish_a man_n who_o in_o time_n of_o persecution_n flee_v into_o those_o part_n for_o succour_n this_o doctrine_n against_o usury_n have_v never_o be_v call_v into_o question_n but_o these_o exile_n bring_v stock_n of_o money_n with_o they_o and_o want_v skill_n to_o employ_v it_o in_o those_o strange_a place_n it_o be_v pity_v they_o shall_v have_v be_v drive_v to_o have_v spend_v upon_o the_o stock_n therefore_o their_o money_n be_v use_v by_o other_o who_o have_v skill_n and_o some_o allowance_n make_v to_o they_o for_o the_o use_n this_o practice_n grow_v both_o common_a and_o public_a it_o remain_v then_o that_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n out_o of_o a_o tender_a commiseration_n towards_o those_o who_o suffer_v exile_n for_o religion_n must_v try_v what_o it_o can_v do_v if_o not_o direct_o to_o defend_v yet_o somewhat_o to_o qualify_v the_o matter_n thus_o pity_v bring_v in_o practice_n and_o practice_n must_v seek_v apology_n humanum_fw-la est_fw-la but_o what_o apology_n have_v it_o find_v i_o find_v that_o these_o divine_n deal_v with_o usury_n as_o the_o apothecary_n do_v with_o poison_n work_v and_o temper_v it_o with_o so_o many_o caution_n and_o limitation_n that_o in_o the_o end_n they_o make_v it_o no_o usury_n at_o all_o let_v we_o begin_v with_o master_n calvin_n who_o in_o this_o point_n move_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o planet_n though_o not_o as_o luther_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v before_o he_o who_o like_o the_o primum_fw-la mobile_a carried_z all_o by_o violent_a motion_n but_o calvin_n like_o the_o eight_o sphere_n have_v certain_a motion_n of_o trepidation_n as_o in_o diverse_a point_n so_o in_o this_o of_o usury_n be_v press_v by_o a_o friend_n to_o give_v answer_n by_o letter_n for_o a_o

wish_v that_o the_o very_a name_n of_o usury_n have_v be_v long_o since_o banish_v the_o world_n desire_v nothing_o more_o but_o that_o he_o may_v never_o more_o be_v urge_v to_o speak_v to_o that_o point_n and_o in_o conclusion_n acquiescere_fw-la admonish_v his_o friend_n in_o any_o case_n not_o to_o rely_v upon_o his_o judgement_n what_o may_v it_o be_v then_o that_o this_o learned_a man_n say_v when_o he_o say_v the_o worst_a which_o he_o be_v so_o loath_a to_o say_v epist_n that_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o by_o any_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n full_o resolve_v that_o all_o usury_n be_v

of_o scripture_n but_o only_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o equity_n where_o note_n by_o the_o way_n how_o thus_o much_o be_v grant_v if_o the_o very_a text_n of_o scripture_n may_v be_v judge_n in_o this_o
