III.- I Shall not take profit from any transaction which knowingly I would not accord to pay to a fellow trader in a similar transaction.

IV.- I Shall never amass wealth-power by the enslavement or unfair exploitation of my fellow men.

V.- I Shall never employ my wealth-power to gain unfair advantage over struggling fellow men.

VI.- As my wealth enlarges I Shall stern my fairness and honesty as regards its growth as well as my voice in its subsequent distribution.

VII.- I Shall ensure to not stoop to the practice of usury when lending my honest wealth.

VIII.- I Shall not lend for profit any amount of a dishonest wealth.

IX.- I Shall not selfishly presume to lay claim to all of the advantages and blessings to be derived from a discovery of Nature’s horded resources.

X.- I Shall remember that the ownership of my wealth is temporary, just like my path through this life. Therefore I Shall make fair provisions for the sharing of my wealth in helpful ways by the largest possible number of my fellow men.
