Further, the virtues that are about the passions are distinguished from justice which is about operations. Now modesty is seemingly one virtue. Therefore, if it be about outward works, it will not be concerned with inward passions. Therefore, if modesty be one virtue, it cannot be about all these things. Therefore modesty is about all of them.
Authorities seem to have had various opinions about modesty.
For wherever they found a special kind of good or a special difficulty of moderation, they withdrew it from the province of modesty, which they confined to lesser matters. These seemingly are of four kinds. The fourth regards outward show, for instance in dress and the like. The Apostle speaks of modesty as regarding externals. Nevertheless the moderation of the inner man may be shown by certain outward signs.
