Meminerint legum conditores, illas ad proximum hunc finem accommodare;
Scelera videlicet arcenda, refrænandaque vitia ac morum pravitatem.

Judices pariter leges illas cum vigore, æquitate, integritate, publicæque utili-
tatis amore curent exequi; ut justitia et virtus omnes societatis ordines prevadant.
Industriaque simul et Temperantia inertiæ locum assumant et prodigalitatis.
