2. Concerning Bishop Jewell; I wonder at their foreheads, who offer to rank Him amongst the Patrons of Usury. J never read in Papist or other a more gross and unconscionable falsification. 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.
