§. 8. Quest. 7. What if I foresee a plenty and cheapness in a time of dearth, which the buyer foreseeth1 not, (as if I know that there are Ships coming in with store of that commodity, which will make it cheap) am I bound to tell the buyer of it, and hinder my own gain?
- 1Quest. 7.
Answ. There may be some instances in trading with enemies, or with Rich men, that regard not such matters, or with men that are supposed to know it as well as you, in which you are not bound to tell them. But in your ordinary equal trading, when you have reason to think that the buyer knoweth it not, and would not give so dear if he knew it, you are bound to tell him: Because you must love your neighbour as your self, and do as you would be done by, and not take advantage of his ignorance.
§. 9. Quest. 8. If I foresee a dearth, may I not keep my commodity till then?1
