Usurer

A usurer, a miller, a banker and a publican are the four evangelists of Lucifer.Dutch.

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.Bible.

That usury is a sin some hold,
But take for granted they’ve no gold.German.

To borrow on usury brings sudden beggary.

While with the silent growth of ten per cent.,
In dirt and darkness hundreds stink content.Pope.
