Aequum opens the main letter by characterizing a response to persistent requests as right or fitting. The speaker’s obligation arises from the relationship described in the dedication: generosity and fidelity deserve reciprocal instruction. The word is not an assertion that every ensuing natural claim is just or scientifically sound. It supplies the ethical transition from the recipient’s appeals to the promised book.
