Self-regarding prudence {concurrs therefore with probity
and indeed} suffices of itself within the field of its domain to confine set limits and those
comparatively very narrow ones to the exercise of the virtue
of beneficence.

11
Prudence suffices
to set narrow limits
to beneficence.

But in the case here in question, by the very supposition
self in favour of the particular individual in
question, viz. the supposed superior, to a very considerable extent self-regarding prudence
so far from prohibiting p and enjoins the residing
to time one end of not profiting to of every proper occasion
to render to him service.

12
But here prudence
prescribes taking
every proper occasion
to render to
the superior, service

To render him service T — but in what quantity?
Answer, — to the amount of the utmost quantity that can be
rendered under a sufficient assurance that the quantity value
of the service received in return will not be less than the value
of the suffering which in the shape of self-denial and
self-sacrifice is incurred in the course of the exertions necessary to made
in the endeavours to render those same services.

13
— the utmost
quantity of service
that can be rendered
with the assurance
that the value of service received
in return
will not be less than
do. of self-sacrifice
incurred.

In the case of this inexplicit as in the case of
the most explicit commerce the rule of prudence that
applies to the quantum of expenditure is the same — the
expence is prejudicial detrimental that brings with it or draws after
it an equivalent: no expence fails of being beneficial
i.e. of being attended with productive of neat profit that draws after
it an equivalent with a ballance.

14
Here as in commerce
the rule
of prudence the same.
No expence prejudicial
that brings
an equivalent.
