Eightly, and lastly, In all that a man does, he should have an eye
to the day of Judgment, and to the consideration of how his actions
will be esteemed of in that day. {121h} Therefore there is not any
man can or ought to sell always as dear as he can: unless he will,
yea he must say, in so doing, I will run the hazard of the tryal of
that day,

If thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy
neighbour, ye shall not oppress one another. {122a}

Atten. But why doe you put in those cautionary words? They must
not sell [always] as dear, nor buy [always] as cheap as they can:
doe you not thereby intimate that a man may sometimes do so?

Wise. I doe indeed intimate that somtimes the seller may sell as
dear, and the buyer buy as cheap as he can; but this is allowable
only in these cases: When he that sells is a Knave, and lays aside
all good conscience in selling; or when the buyer is a Knave, and
layes aside all good conscience in buying. If the buyer therefore
lights of a Knave, or if the seller lights of a Knave, then let
them look to themselves: but yet so, as not to lay aside
conscience, because he that thou dearest with doth so: but how
vile or base soever the chapman is, do thou keep thy commodity at a
reasonable price: or if thou buyest, offer reasonable gain for the
thing thou wouldest have: and if this will not do with the buyer
or seller, then seek thee a more honest chapman: If thou
objectest, But I have not skil to know when a pennyworth is before
me: Get some that have more skill than thy self in that affair,
and let them in that matter dispose of thy money. But if there
were no Knaves in the world, these objections need not be made.
