Part First. On the State of Laymen
Already in the fourth precept of the Decalogue we have spoken about the various and mutual duties of superiors and inferiors. But in the present Treatise we must speak about the duties which regard the public good, and especially about forensic duties. Hence
One must treat 1º of the obligations of judges; 2º of advocates and procurators; 3º of apparitors; 4º of scribes and notaries; 5º of the accuser and the accused; 6º of witnesses; 7º of physicians, surgeons, and pharmacists; 8º of guards; 9º of craftsmen and workmen.
But the obligations of merchants and other men of this sort are sufficiently understood from those things which we have discussed concerning justice and contracts.
