He that taketh money to Usury, saith He, whether He gain, or lose, or whatsoever happen unto Him, He must answer the whole stock He borrowed. And this is it that undoeth so many, and maketh them bankrupts. But this ⟨p. 71⟩happeneth not in this Case▪ He that occupieth the Orphans money or stock, is changed only to use it as His own, and no otherwise. If it perish or decay, or miscarry without His fault, he is not bound to answer it. Therefore as I said it is no Usury.

In the Sect. next before, thus: This is not Usury (saith He) Why? Because He that taketh the stock of the Orphan, or of the mad man or of the diseased Merchant i• not bound to answer all adventures, and casualties that happen. As, if to like use I take a stock in cattle, and they die without my default: or a stock in money, or wares, and the wares be burnt by fire, or the money stolen without my default, I am not bound to answer the principal: therefore it is no Usury.
