Excerpt from Usury, Funds, and Banks: Also Forestalling Traffick, and Monopoly; Likewise Pew Rent, and Grave Tax; Together With Burking, and Dissecting; As Well as the Gallican Liberties, Are All Repugnant to the Divine and Ecclesiastical Laws, and Destructive to Civil Society

Of all the'vices that defile and deprave the human heart, mm rice, the root of all evils, is the most abhorrent and difficult of cure; whilst all others wither and cool in his declining years, this gains more strength and fury and what renders the prospect of amendment still more remote and arduous, almost all ranks and stations, the young and the old, the male and the female, the bond and the freeman, are more or less infected; all aiming, though by different. Routes, at the temple of Mammon. When vice thus spreads through the community, assuming the garb of virtue, who could think of resisting it That usury would ever be adopted, in any Christian country, as the means of making riches, puzzles all people that have not lost, or never received the light of faith they are forever discussing the question in public and in private in the school and at table never finding any balm or palliative for it in the Sacred Rules - Scripture and Tradition.
