Note 222 — Chapter III · THE PEASANTRY (continued)
Reading edition
A Discourse upon Usurie, by Thomas Wilson, 1584: “A lord doth lend his tenants money, with this condition that they shall plough his land, whether doth he commit usurie or no? I do answer that if he does not pay them for their labour, but will take the benefit of their labour for the use of his money, he is an usurer.”
