John Trapp on Proverbs 28:8

Verſ. 8. He that by uſury and unjuſt gain, &c.] Uſury is condemned by the very Heathens, Ariſtot. Ethic. lib. 4. c. 1. The ancient Law of the Romans make the uſurer a thief and worſe, the Hebrews make him a biting thief, who gnaweth the debtor to the very bones: yea the moſt toothleſſe uſury (that uſual plea) hath ſharp gummes, which bite as ſore as an old dogge, or an hungry fly: and under ſhew of licking whole, ſucks out the heart blood. Let thoſe who plead for it conſider, that God diſpenſeth with no uſury (Ezek. 18.8.) whether neſhec or tarbith, biting or toothleſs; that the lender deals not as he would be dealt withall, that the Goſpel makes theſe ſinners worſe than other ſinners, when it ſaith, Sinners lend to ſinners to receive the like, Luk. 6.34. but theſe to receive more, that at Rome (this day) all uſurers are excommunicated monthly; that the Canon-law drives them from the Sacrament, denies them burial, makes their will no will, as though their goods were not their own; that no man of note in all antiquity (Jews and Manichees excepted) for 1500 years after Chriſt, hath ever undertaken the defence of uſury: that Chryſoſtome is very fierce againſt it, comparing it to the ſtinging of an aſp, which caſts a man into a ſleep, whereof he dyes, &c.

He ſhall gather it for him that will pitty the poor] God will provide him an executor never mentioned in his will: or his heir (being a better man) ſhall freely diſtribute what hee hath wrongfully raked together, Eccleſ. 2.21. Job 27.16,
