72. When man is no longer in the evil of murder, but in the good of love towards the neighbour, then whatever he does is a good of that love, and consequently it is a good work. A priest who is principled in that good, as often as he teaches and leads, does a good work, because he acts from the love of saving souls. A magistrate who is principled in that good, as often as he sums up and pronounces judgment, does a good work, because he acts from the love of consulting the good of his country, of the society to which he belongs, and of his fellow-citizens. In like manner a merchant does a good work; if he is in that good, every one of his commercial transactions is a good work. There is in it the love of the neighbour, and the neighbour is his country, his society, his fellow-citizens, and also his servants, whose welfare he cares for with his own. A workman also who is principled in that good, under its influence works faithfully for others as for himself, fearing his neighbour's loss as his own. Their deeds are good works because so far as any one shuns evil, so far he does good, according to the general law stated above, No. 21; and he who shuns evil as sin, does good, not from himself but from the Lord, Nos. 18-31.
