XLV

With Usura

With usura hath no man a house of good stone . . .
with usura, sin against nature . . .
Stonecutter is kept from his stone
weaver is kept from his loom . . .
Usura slayeth the child in the womb . . .

N.B. Usury: A charge for the use of purchasing power, levied without regard to production; often without regard to the possibilities of production. . . ^1a PLATO ARISTOTLE MAIMONIDES AQUINAS JEFFERSON

Hath benefit of interest on all
the moneys which it, the bank, creates out of nothing.

Semi-private inducement
Said Mr. RothSchild, hell knows which Roth-schild
. . . “Very few people
“will understand this. Those who do will be occupied
“getting profits. The general public will probably not
“see it’s against their interest.”
. . . The bank makes it ex nihil
Denied by five thousand professors, will any
Jury convict ‘um? . . .^1b SARTRE

. . . debt when the Medici took the throne was 5 million
And when they left was fourteen
And its interest ate up all the best income . . .^1c JEFFERSON
