1. Concerning your first Author, T. C. His Manuscript is punctually and exactly answered by an Orthodox Learned Divine, who was ten *years Professor of the Hebrew Tongue in Cambridge, D. Pie; in His Book called, Usuries Spright conjured: published 1604. To which, for any thing I could ever heard, not any Usurer, Ecclesiastic or Laick, or any of their Proctors, Brokers, or Dependants any way, have replied any one word. And therefore that Answer stands authentical, and impregnable, until some man say something against it.

For Jewell, read Him upon 1 Thess. 4. 6. You have Him here, or ought to have Him in your Churches: is as resolute, plentiful, and mighty against Usury, as ever any I read in my life. He is so punctual, and precise; so universal and absolute against it; that hear His own words, Ibid. pag. 84. in the point of letting out the money of Widows, Orphans and Men distracted.
