Although the country has been peaceful so long, and trade
has grown, yet there is great usury, owing to the scarcity
of money in this kingdom. The Act made in 3 Hen. VII
against usury is strictly to be enforced. This does not apply
to mortgages, &c., already paid up, and if within six months
after date of this proclamation the mortgagers accept the
principal sum of money, it will not apply to them either.
