THE EXAMINATION OF USURY.
THE EXAMINATION OF VSVRIE.
THE SECOND SERMON.
IT remaineth that we speak of the Usurers punishment: Then, what may be thought of them which do not take usury, but give usury. Lastly what they should do, which have got their riches by usury.
IT remaineth that we speake of the Vsurers punishment: Then, what may be thought of them which do not take vsurie, but giue vsurie. Lastly what they should doe, which haue got their riches by vsurie.
To begin with the punishment,1 not only Gods law, but even the Cannon law, doth §1so condemn usury, that first it doth excommunicate him from the Church, as though he had no communion with Saints.
