Let us never envy certain people their great wealth; they have acquired it at a burdensome price and one unsuited to us: they have given up their rest, their health, their honor and their conscience in order to have it; this is too great a cost, and there is nothing to win from such an exchange.
N'envions point a une sorte de gens leurs grandes richesse; ils les ont a titre onereux, et qui ne nous accomoderait point: ils ont mis leur repos, leur sante, leur honneur et leur conscience pour les avoir; cela est trop cher, et il n'y a rien a gagner a un tel marche.
