Note from page 25: 7. 10 Bacon's Abridgment, 264. The statute of 13 Elizabeth, C. 8, which allows ten per cent, interest, recites "that an usury being forbidden by the law of God is sin and detestable;" and the statute of 21 James the First, reducing the rate to eight per cent., provided that nothing in the law should be "construed to Allow the practice of usury in point of religion or conscience," a clause introduced, it is said, to satisfy the bishops, who would not vote for the bill without it.
