Of the lawful and unlawful usury ammo[n]gest Christians, addedOf the lawful and vnlawful vsurie amo[n]gest Christians, added

Behold, here is a kind of usury for thee, lawful, profitable, and godly, by the which Abraham and Isaac became rich. By this some times thirty fold, some times sixty fold, and some times an hundred fold, without sin is both given of God, & also received of man. This usury did our forefathers much use, which now is reckoned vile, & forced too give place unto the damnable usury of money. And there is an other certain usury, by the which without any sin, a man may take an hundred for one. This Christ him self in the stead of his father, as a surety doeth promise unto his faithful, saying: And every one, which shall leave house, or brethren, or sisters, ⟨image 7⟩or father, or mother, or wife, or sons, or fields, for my name, shall receive an hundred fold & possess life everlasting. Mat .19. Behold an other & a heavenly kind of usury, unto the which we be called & not feared from it. But I pray you, see how many there be, which set their minds to the gathering of heavenly riches, with so great gains?
