I have translated them without reference to their use elsewhere,

as denoting respectively what is and what may be known. All truth

is [Greek: gnorimon aplos], but that alone [Greek: aemin] which

we individually realise, therefore those principles alone are

[Greek: gnorima aemin] which we have received as true. From this

appears immediately the necessity of good training as preparatory

to the study of Moral Philosophy for good training in habits will

either work principles into our nature, or make us capable of

accepting them as soon as they are put before us; which no mere

intellectual training can do. The child who has been used to obey

his parents may never have heard the fifth Commandment but it is

in the very texture of his nature, and the first time he hears it

he will recognise it as morally true and right the principle is

in his case a fact, the reason for which he is as little inclined

to ask as any one would be able to prove its truth if he should

ask.
