Psalms37:21
Verſ. 21. The Wicked borroweth, and payeth not again] Either becauſe he cannot, he is ſo unable; or becauſe he cares not, he is ſo unconſcionable. But in the midſt of his wealth, he is many times wanting; in the fullneſſe of his ſufficiency,Non ſunt [illegible: 1 word] dendo. he is in ſtraits; and to ſupply his neceſſities, ſticketh long in the Uſurers furnace, which leaveth him at laſt neither metall, nor matter.
But the Righteous ſheweth mercy and giveth] Of that which is his own; to which end he hath a great care to pay his debts. When Archb. Cranmer diſcerned the ſtorm which after fell upon him in Queen Maries dayes, he took expreſſe order for the payment of all his debts, which when it was done, a moſt joyfull man was hee. How hoſpitable he was and liberall, Tremelius teſtifieth in his Epiſtle before his comment on Hoſea.
