102. The case is the same with the rest, whether they administer any public office, or not; thus with children in respect to parents, and with parents in respect to children; with servants in respect to their masters, and with masters in respect to their servants; with subjects in respect to their king, and with a king in respect to his subjects. Whoever among them does his duty from a sense of duty, and what is just from a sense of what is just, practises charity.
