. By the difference of tense it seems Aristotle has mixed up two things, beginning to speak of the particular instance, and then carried into the general statement again. This it is scarce worth while to imitate.  . The meaning of the phrase as here used, in given in the Seventh Book, chap. .  . Perhaps “things which reflect credit on them” as on page 95.  . Book.  . Each term is important: to make up the character of justice, men must have the capacity, do the acts, and do them from moral choice.  . But not always., for instance, has two senses, “to love” and “to kiss,” undefined but one. Topics, chap. .  . Things are which have only their name in common, being in themselves different. The is close therefore when the difference though real is but slight. There is no English expression for, “equivocal” being applied to a term and not to its various significates.  . See Book chap. . <section end="P. 102, l. 24" /> . <section begin="P. 104, l. 10" />A man habitually drunk in private is viewed by our law as confining his vice to himself, and the law therefore does not attempt to touch him: a religious hermit may be viewed as one who confines his virtue to his own person. <section end="P. 104, l. 10" /> . <section begin="P. 105, l. 5" />See the account of Sejanus and Livia. Tac. Annal. . <section end="P. 105, l. 5" /> . <section begin="P. 105, l. 31" />Cardwell’s text, which here gives, yields a much easier and more natural sense. All Injustice violates law, but only the particular kinds violate equality; and therefore the unlawful : the unequal :: universal Injustice : the particular i.e. as whole to part. There is a reading which also alters the words within the parenthesis, but this hardly affects the gist of the passage. <section end="P. 105, l. 31" /> . <section begin="P. 106, l. 19" />There are two reasons why the characters are not necessarily coincident. He is a good citizen, who does his best to carry out the under which he lives, but this may be faulty, so therefore pro tanto is he. Again, it is sufficient, so far as the Community is concerned, that he does the facts of a good man: but for the perfection of his own individual character, he must do them virtuously.
