Traiter légèrement la base fondamentale ou le principe rationnel et moral, et faire beaucoup de cas de l'accessoire ou des richesses, c'est pervertir les sentiments du peuple et l'exciter par l'exemple au vol et aux rapines.

Qu'il néglige la racine et se contente seulement des fruits et le prince n'enseignera que la discorde et vol au peuple.
