usurer

An anonymous modern wood-cut of Death seizing a usurer, over whom another Death is throwing a counterpane.

At this propitious time of public distress did Tom Walker set up as usurer in Boston.

We can readily imagine why the usurer did not take that road after dark.

This is the sin of the usurer, the bodger, and the tyrannous landlord, and of this bad trinity the last is the worst.
