Saint Hierom, In Psal. 54. In lege usurae accipi prohibentur. Usura est, plus accipere, quam dare. Taking of usury is forbidden in the Law. And usury is to take more, then was given. And in Ezek. Chap. 18. page 538. Repetens ab his quibus tribuit, (meaning in the case of usury) ampliùs quam dederat, vivere non poterit, sed in suo sanguine morietur. Chrysost. Hom. 5. in Mat. pag. 38. Nihil praesenti usurâ turpius, nihilque crudelius. Si quidem hujusmodi faenerator negotiatur discrimina, & uberiores (ut putat) quaestus de alterius ⟨p. 4⟩infaelicitate consequitur, atque insuper quasi pietatis mercedem reposcit, velut metuens ne immisericors fore videatur: cum profectò pretextu miserendi, atque opem ferendi, majorem misero foveam crudelitatis effoderit, speciejuvandi atterens inopem, ac manum porrigendo deijciens: & quasi inportum, ex tempestate suscipiens, sed improviso turbine in multò magis crudele naufragium, velut inter scopulos, ac latentia saxa demergens.
