What doth God forbid in the eighth Commandment?

Not only those Thefts and Robberies, which the Magistrate punisheth, but by the name of Theft he comprehendeth whatsoever Evil, Crafts, Fetches, and Devices, whereby we seek after other Mens Goods, and indeavour with force, or with some shew of Right, to convey them over unto our selves; of which sort are false Weights, false Ells uneven Measures, deceitful Marchandize, counterfeit Coin, Usury, or any other way or means of furthering our Estate, which God hath forbidden: to these we may add all Covetousness, and the manifold wast and abusing of Gods Gifts.
