1 We may, under the guidance of reason, pursue the
2 lesser evil as though it were the greater good, and we may shun
3 the lesser good, which would be the cause of the greater evil.
4 For the evil, which is here called the lesser, is really good,
5 and the lesser good is really evil, wherefore we may seek the
6 former and shun the latter.  Q.E.D.
