Usurer.

I doe imbrace this counsell with my heart,
Ten in the hundred, thou and I'le ne're part;


Bonds, Bils, and words, I'le trust none of you three.
Bring good securitie to deale with me.
Plate shall be welcome, with a Bill of sale,
Fast binde, fast finde, sure worke can neuer faile;
Or lend good summes, & haue good land bound for it,
I'le not be catcht nor laugh'd at, I abhorre it:
Neither trust one, nor yet beleeue the other:
I'le credit pawne, before I'le credit brother.
