Quidam non tantum dant beneficia superbe, sed etiam accipiunt, quod non est committendum. Iam enim transeamus ad alteram partem tractaturi, quomodo se gerere homines in accipiendis beneficiis debeant. Quodcumque ex duobus constat officium, tantundem ab utroque exigit. Qualis pater esse debeat, eum inspexeris, scies non minus operis illic superesse, ut dispicias, qualem esse oporteat filium ; sunt aliquae partes mariti, sed non minores uxoris.
