Let him look to his bond.
:50:10
He was wont to call me usurer.
Let him look to his bond.

:50:15
He was wont to lend money
for Christian courtesy.

:50:20
Let him look to his bond.
:50:24
Hello, Jew!
:50:26
L"m sure if he forfeit you"ll not take
his flesh. What"s that good for?

:50:32
To bait fish withal.
:50:35
If it will feed nothing else,
it will feed my revenge.

:50:41
He hath disgraced me
:50:44
and hindered me half a million,
:50:47
laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains,
:50:51
scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains,
:50:54
cooled my friends, heated mine enemies,
and what"s his reason?

:50:57
I am a Jew!
:51:01
Hath not a Jew eyes?
:51:03
Hath not a Jew hands?
:51:05
Organs, dimensions?
:51:08
Senses, affections, passions?
:51:12
Fed with the same food?
:51:15
Hurt with the same weapons?
:51:17
Subject to the same diseases?
:51:19
Healed by the same means?
:51:22
Warmed and cooled by the same
winter and summer as a Christian is?

:51:28
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
:51:31
If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
:51:34
If you poison us, do we not die?
:51:37
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
:51:42
If we are like you in the rest,
we will resemble you in that.

:51:47
If a Jew wrong a Christian,
what is his humility? Revenge.

:51:52
If a Christian wrong a Jew,
:51:54
what should his sufferance be
by Christian example?

:51:59
Why, revenge.
