IF lordes of mylles lene mo∣neye to bakers or to other fol¦ke in couenaūt that they shal not grynde but at theyr mylles they do vsurye & so let theym y^t they may not grynde frely where they wyl / & yf they be harmed therby / the leners be boūden to make restytucōn. But yf they be not harmed therby they be not boūde to restytucōn but for that they let them of theyr fredom somde¦le they be boūden. And the same is of chapmen that selle to creaunce to let the byer from other chapmen / or by∣cause of her lenynge selle to them mo¦re derer than to other. Suche sellers ben boūden to restytucyon in that the byer be harmed & hyndred. Yf the le¦ner or ony other man wyll not gyue to his dettour lenger tyme of paymēt whan he may not kepe his daye as∣sygned but he haue some gyft though he axe no gyft openly he doth vsure. And yf a chapmen selle the more de∣rer for the lenynge of his pryce than he sholde selle yf he payed anone / he doth vsure & he is boūden to restytu∣cyon. Extra li.e.ti. consuluit. Yf the borower vpon vsure fayle of his daye of payment / he y^• is his borowe may paye that moneye with y^• vsure to the lener / & do his dettour for whome he is borowe paye to hym ayen that mo¦neye with the vsure. For it is to the borowe none vsure / for he wynneth nought therby / but so fleeth mysche∣ue that sholde elles falle to hym. Yf a man be compelled to borowe mo∣neye with vsure for falsehede of his dettour that wyl not paye him at his terme / that false dettour is bounden to make restytucyon / not only of his det but also of the vsure that he was compelled to paye for his falsehede / or els delyuer hym out of daūger yf it be yet to paye. Extra li.iij.de fideius∣sori{bus}. ca.{per}uenit. et ca. constitutus. Yf a man or woman lene .x. shellynges at Eester or in other tyme to rescey∣ue as many busshelles of whete at myghelmasse / & the whete be better for y^t tyme than is the moneye / & it be in doubte reasonably whether y^• whete shall be more worthe or lesse in tyme of payment it is none vsure. But yf it were semely that it sholde be more worthe in tyme of payment & he lent the moneye in hope of y^• lucre he dyd vsure. Extra e. ti. nauiganti.et in sū¦ma conf.li.ij.ti.vij. Yf the seller selle a thynge for the more pryce by cause that he abydeth of his paye he dooth vsure. And yf the byer bye a thynge for lesse than it is worth for that he payeth byfore or the thynge bought may be taken to hym / he doth vsure. ibidem in sūma conf. Yf a man lene syluer or wyne to haue ayen the same quantyte in certayn tyme only in ho∣pe y^t the same quantyte shall be more worth in tyme of paymēt he doth vsu¦re / & yf the dettour wyl paye hym his det byfore that tyme to flee his owne harme / & he wyll not take it of hym to the tyme assygned of the payment so to wynne by his lenynge he dooth vsurye. Yf a man lene moneye to res¦ceyue a certayn tyme corn wyne or o∣ther thynge ••herfore he shall take as moche as cometh therto in tyme of

Yf a man selle a thynge for certayn pryce as the market goth in tyme of y^• sellynge in couenaūt y^• yf it be better worth byfore cester that he shal paye so moche more / & though it be lesse worth he shall paye no lesse / he doth vsurye. Yf the byer bye horse or other bestis for lesse pryce than they be worth in tyme of byenge to rescey¦ue theym after in certayn tyme of fey¦re it is vsure / but he wene sykerly that it sholde be than only so moche worth or lesse worth / but yf he wene that they sholde be that tyme more worth it is vsurye.
