When in buying and selling, bartering, snapping, scorsing & changing, the buyer concealeth the goodness, or the seller the faults,1 and blindfoldeth the truth with coloured speeches. Likewise when in borrowing and lending, setting and taking, gagging and waging, men either make no conscience or have no skill to do that which is equal and profitable, as well for others they trade with, as for themselves; where false measures come to be considered. Hitherto belongeth forestalling, engrossing, monopolies, usury, bankrupts, that to enrich themselves, endamage others; removing of ancient bounds: hitherto refer suits in Law for light matters.
