13. [13.] The Dutch

The Dutch are quite clear-sighted and firmly steadfast in their religion, not yielding unless completely convinced, and if they are convinced, still they turn their back. They excel in judgment from a natural rational sight, which enables them to view matters in the world justly, especially in business dealings. Their light appears somewhat hazy because their spiritual light is bound together with natural light. That is because they think continually about the conduct of business.
