87. (IV.) The human race is the neighbor in the widest sense; but as it is divided into empires, kingdoms, and republics, anyone of them is neighbor according to the good of its religion and morals, and according to the good that it performs to the country, and makes to be one with its own good. These subjects are too extensive to be separately illustrated. Suffice it to say, that if any man whatever, from whatsoever kingdom, is with me, and I dwell with him in the same house or in the same city, he is my neighbor according to his good. It is the same with all the individuals in that kingdom to whom that man is like. Suppose that he is the ambassador of the kingdom, who represents his king and therefore the kingdom; it cannot be denied that he is my neighbor, according to the good of its religion and morals, and according as it wills to do good to my country and to itself; especially so far as this good makes one with his own good.
