1 Everyone judges what is good according to his 2 disposition (III. xxxix. note); wherefore an ignorant man, who 3 has conferred a benefit on another, puts his own estimate upon 4 it, and, if it appears to be estimated less highly by the 5 receiver, will feel pain (III. xlii.). But the free man only 6 desires to join other men to him in friendship (IV. xxxvii.), not 7 repaying their benefits with others reckoned as of like value, 8 but guiding himself and others by the free decision of reason, 9 and doing only such things as he knows to be of primary 10 importance. Therefore the free man, lest he should become 11 hateful to the ignorant, or follow their desires rather than 12 reason, will endeavour, as far as he can, to avoid receiving 13 their favours. 14 15
