Ambrose

Et Ambrosius:

Certe ut quis magnam maris partem, etiam si possit, publicis utilitatibus eripiat, non tolerandae est improbitatis, in quam merito Vir Sanctus invehitur:

Invehitur Ambrosius in eos qui maria claudunt, Augustinus in eos qui itinera obstruunt;

Among this class, in the time of Theodosius, we may rank Ambrose, who in his seventh discourse says, “there is nothing wrong in bearing arms;

Upon which Ambrose has justly remarked, “that, in contracts, the faults of things exposed to sale ought to be made known, of which unless the seller has given intimation, though he may have transferred the right of property by sale, yet he is liable to an action of fraud.

Or indeed any way of preventing the importation of goods, or buying them up in order to sell them at a greater rate than usual, though the price, under some particular circumstances, may not seem unreasonable, if fully shewn by Ambrose in his third book of Offices to be a breach of charity;
