that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v aqvilonius_n and_o soon_o the_o other_o side_n he_o that_o be_v just_a to_o his_o friend_n may_v he_o not_o be_v unjust_a to_o his_o enemy_n as_o diverse_a be_v see_v now_o a_o day_n to_o be_v subsolanus_n i_o will_v not_o great_o stand_v upon_o it_o aqvilonius_n then_o hereby_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o justice_n and_o injustice_n be_v not_o so_o mere_o contrary_n as_o you_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v subsolanus_n to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v the_o better_o know_v what_o my_o conceit_n be_v herein_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o ere_o we_o go_v any_o further_a this_o other_o question_n that_o same_o worldly_a profit_n of_o you_o whereof_o you_o have_v speak_v so_o much_o before_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o disprofit_v or_o that_o it_o be_v

they_o shall_v not_o be_v contraries_n aqvilonius_n we_o agree_v hitherto_o very_o well_o subsolanus_n and_o yet_o it_o hapen_v sometime_o that_o the_o give_v of_o ten_o shilling_n to_o a_o poor_a friend_n that_o will_v borrow_v ten_o pound_n be_v a_o profitable_a disprofit_v as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o taking_z a_o horse_n in_o gift_n of_o one_o that_o intrude_v thereby_o to_o

to_o be_v debate_v and_o do_v now_o affirm_v be_v that_o justice_n and_o injustice_n may_v be_v both_o of_o they_o profitable_a and_o disprofitable_a as_o first_o concern_v their_o disprofit_v i_o

to_o be_v infamous_a for_o injustice_n according_a as_o rome_n be_v also_o in_o the_o time_n of_o graccus_fw-la and_o cato_n and_o therefore_o as_o little_a marvel_v it_o be_v that_o such_o just_a

at_o all_o will_v not_o this_o think_v you_o have_v be_v rather_o laugh_v at_o then_o grant_v whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v say_v unto_o they_o that_o aristides_n

these_o reason_n put_v together_o i_o may_v now_o conclude_v against_o your_o former_a assertion_n that_o the_o not_o do_v of_o injustice_n be_v no_o work_n of_o justice_n at_o all_o because_o justice_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o leave_n of_o any_o unjust_a thing_n undo_v but_o in_o the_o skilful_a execute_n of_o that_o which_o be_v just_a aqvilonius_n notwithstanding_o all_o this_o if_o

may_v be_v the_o beginning_n of_o another_o yet_o they_o can_v enter_v the_o one_o into_o the_o other_o as_o for_o example_n the_o extremity_n of_o too_o much_o liberty_n may_v be_v the_o beginning_n of_o servitude_n but_o yet_o not_o part_v of_o servitude_n for_o that_o liberty_n &_o servitude_n can_v have_v no_o affinity_n together_o no_o more_o than_o justice_n and_o injustice_n and_o therefore_o though_o a_o man_n altogether_o unlearned_a may_v leave_v sometime_o to_o do_v injustice_n yet_o can_v he_o hardly_o be_v a_o good_a justicer_n nor_o know_v how_o to_o do_v justice_n
