HONESTUM igitur id intelligimus, quod tale est, ut, detractâ omni utilitate, sine ullis praemiis fructibusve, per seipsum possit jure laudari. Quod quale sit, non tam definitione, quâ sum usus, intelligi potest (quamquam aliquantum potest) quam communi omnium judicio, & optimi cujusque studiis, atque factis: qui permulta ob eam unam causam faciunt, quia decet, quia rectum, quia honestum est; etsi nullum consecuturum emolumentum vident.—
