3 Of sharing the expenses of a business or a journey,of dividing an inheritance or property;
4 Of accuracy of scales and balances,of tested measures and weights;Of acquiring much or little,
5 of bargaining in dealing with a merchant;Of constant training of children,of beating the sides of a wicked servant;
6 Of a seal to keep a foolish wife at home,of a key where there are many hands;
7 Of numbering every deposit,of recording all that is taken in and given out;
8 Of chastisement for the silly and the foolish,for the aged and infirm answering for wanton conduct.Thus you will be truly refinedand recognized by all as discreet.
