Ezekiel18:8

Ver. 8. He that hath not given forth upon uſury] Of this ſin ſee what I have ſaid elſewhere, Exod. 22.25. Pſal. 15.5. Neh. 5.10.

Nihil intereſt inter funus & funus: nihil inter mortem diſtat & ſortem. Ambroſ. Neither hath taken any increaſe] Intereſt we call it now, after the French, who firſt helped us to that fine word. But let the Patrones of uſury conſider that what diſtinctions ſoever they bring for it, God alloweth here of no uſury, but condemneth both Neſhec the biting, and Tarbith the toothleſſe uſury, as equally naught.

That hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity] Whether it be injury to another, revenge, raking together riches of unrighteouſneſſe, reaching after honours, &c.

Hath executed true judgement] Without partiality or paſſion, whether he be a Judge or an Arbitrator.
