5525. That you are upright men' means that agreement accordingly exists. This is clear from the meaning of 'you are upright men' as the fact that truths are present within them, for 'uprightness' consists in the truth, 5434, 5437. And because, once agreement exists, gain ceases to be the reason for their interest in truths, that agreement is meant as well by you are upright men'.
