710# 这也可用一些比较来说明。若有人因爱国的热忱而与仇敌战斗，直到死亡，借此使祖国脱离奴役的轭，谁不会记念他、爱他呢？若有人看见同胞陷于极度贫困，并且因饥荒日益严重，死亡就在他们眼前，便出于怜悯，把自己家中所有金银都拿出来，白白分给他们，谁不会记念他、爱他呢？若有人出于爱与友谊，取来自己所有的唯一一只羊羔，把它宰了，摆在客人面前，谁不会记念他、爱他呢？诸如此类。
710# 这一点也可以通过对比来说明。谁不纪念和热爱那个出于爱国的热情而与敌人战斗，直至死亡，从而使祖国从奴役的枷锁中解放出来的人呢？谁不纪念和热爱那个当看到自己的同胞陷入极度贫困，因严重的饥荒而在自己眼前饿死时，出于怜悯拿出家里所有的金银，并免费分发的人呢？谁不纪念和热爱那个出于爱和友谊而牵来他仅有的羔羊，把它屠宰了，为客人设摆盛宴的人呢？等等。
710. This last point can also be illustrated with comparisons. Surely we all love and remember people who were moved by a passionate love of country to fight against its enemies even to their death in order to free it from the yoke of slavery. Surely we all love and remember people who saw their fellow citizens in extreme poverty, starving to death before their eyes, and were moved by compassion and took all the silver and gold out of their houses and distributed it expecting nothing in return. Surely we all love and remember people who were moved by love and friendship and took their last lamb and butchered it and prepared it as a feast for their guests. And so on.
710. This too can be illustrated by comparisons. Does anyone fail to remember and love someone, who out of zealous love for his country fights an enemy to the death, so as to free his country from the yoke of slavery? And does anyone fail to remember and love someone, who on seeing his fellow citizens in the direst straits, with the sight of them dying of starvation before his eyes, then is moved by pity to bring all his silver and gold out of his house and give it away freely? And does anyone fail to remember and love someone, who out of love and friendship takes the one last lamb he has, and slaughters it to serve up to his guests? And so on.
710. This too may be illustrated by comparisons. Who does not remember and love the man who, from the zeal of love for his country, fights with her enemies even unto death, that he may thereby deliver her from the yoke of servitude? And who does not remember and love the man who, when he sees his fellow-citizens in extreme want, with death from grievous famine staring them in the face, out of pity brings forth all his gold and silver from his house and distributes it freely? And who does not remember and love the man who, out of love and friendship, takes the only lamb he possesses, kills it, and sets it before his guests? And so on.
710. This also may be illustrated by comparisons. Who does not remember and love the man who, from zealous love for his country, fights against her enemies even unto death, that he may thereby free her from the yoke of slavery? Who does not remember and love the man who, seeing his fellow citizens in extreme want and dying before his eyes in the relentless grip of famine, brings forth from his house all his silver and gold and freely distributes it? Who, again, does not remember and love the man who, out of pure love and friendship, takes the only lamb he possesses, kills it, and sets it before his guests? And so on.
710. Hoc quoque illustrari potest per Comparationes: Quis non recordatur ejus et amat illum, qui ex zelo amoris pro Patria pugnat cum hoste usque ad mortem, ut per id liberet 1 illam a jugo servitutis. Et quis non recordatur ejus et amat illum, qui dum videt concives in extrema egestate, ac mortem illorum ex ingravescente fame ante oculos, et tunc ex miseratione omne suum Argentum et Aurum e domo sua educit, et gratis distribuit: et quis non recordatur ejus et amat illum, qui ex amore et amicitia sumit unicum agnum quem possidet, et hunc mactat et apponit convivis: et sic porro.
