§ Of comportment towards superiors as such: viz
Superiors in general worth.

N.B. 1 Worth is – 1. General – 2. Special.
N.B. 2. When superiority &c. as spoken of in general terms,
superiority in power, as being the most efficient article, will
require to be understood: especially a power in relation to the
person in question.

Whatsoever inducements you have to the exercise of
beneficence towards inferiors and equals on the score of
beneficence and self regarding prudence you have for the exercise of beneficence
towards superiors those same inducements with the
addition of others which belong to the account of self-regarding
prudence.

☞ – 1. In regard to money and beneficence by means of it
forget not the difference that may have place in the quantity
of good producible by the same money in the case of
the superior and in that of the inferior.

2. Note the illusion by which, in contrariety to the dictates
of self-regarding prudence and even of beneficence the
inexperienced are sometimes betrayed into haughtiness or
indifference towards superiors.
