10 looking into the most excellent
homilies of the church of Eng land, ap
pointed to be read in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, of famous memory, my at
tention was arrested with the truly pi-
Gus breathings of the following lnstruc.
tive paragraph:
IF man be called an adulterer,
Insurer, drunkard, or by any other
shameful name, let him consider ear
nestly whether he be SO called truly or
falsely: if truly, let him amend his
fault, that his adversary may not af er.
wards worthily charge nim with the
same offences: if these tn ngs be laid
sgsinst him falsely, vet let him consi.
der whether he hath given any occa
sion to be suspected of such things !,
and 90 he may boh cut # that suspi
cion, whereof this slander Did arise,
and 10 other things shall live moro wa
rily And thus using ourselves, we
may take no hurt, but rather much
good, by the rebukes and ISLANDERS OF
our enemy. For the reprosch OF an e.
nemy may be to many men a greater
spur to the amendment of their life,
than the gentle monition Of friend.
Ph,hppus. the king of Macedonia, when
ne was evil spoken Of by the chief ru-
lers of the city of Athens. he did thank
them heartily, because by them he was
made better. both in his words and
deeds for l study, saith he, both by
my sayings and doings, to prove them
liars"

IMPRISONMENT.

There are and always were severe
penalties against usury. Imprisonment,
contscation of property, and death, have
been the consequences OF usury at differ
ent periods At presen, all usurions cons
tracts are void and in addition to the loss
OF this debt, the usurer is fined by iDdict.
meDt to the amount Of his usurieus bar
gains, one half OF which belongs to the
commonwealth, and the other half to the
prosecutor. Now where is the moral,
eiyil,or political distinction between hard
oppressive bargain in money ,or in lands &
goods Why should there be such an
immense difference between the transsc-
tons, that when man takes an adyan.
taBe OF his Deighbor in money concern.
he loses his debt and is indicted and per.
haps imprisoned himself and when he
lakes an advantage in trade of goods, he
cannot only recover his debt, but impri,
son the debtor? There are more facilities
TO cheat over.reach, Cypress, and to take
undue advantages of mems necessities by
barter and sale, than by letting money.
Why should man, who takes seven per
cent. Tor the profit on his money, lose his
debt and be indicted, and another who
takes seventy-seven or seven hundred per
cent for the profit on his goods seize the
property and the body of his debtor p
why shoeIda man who gives seven per
ceb'. Tor money be discharged from his
debt, while he who gives 100 per cent
Tor goods more than they are worth, is
Imprisoned? Let these absurdities be
reeonciled: lhsy are so palpably incon-
sistent, that it is only necessary TO men,
ton them, in order TO satisfy the public
that great inju . G must be done in one
case or the other Boston States.
