not embraced in any writing， but consisting simply in true reason.

Equity is a certain perfect reasoning which interprets and amends the written law 衡平法是解释和修订成文法的完美的根据；它不包含于任何书面文字中，而仅仅存在于真正的理性中。 其拉丁文形式为：aequitas est perfecta quaedam ratio quae jus scriptum interpretatur et emendat; nulla scriptura comprehensa, sed solum in vera ratione consistens。
