- Hobbio autem indecorum erat maximè hac in re, vel hoc in loco labi: cùm quia status civilis peculiare privilegium, cuilibet in statu naturali tribuere turpe fuit, etiam tum cùm statuum hujusmodi discrimina accuratissimè tradere præ se fert; […]
- But it was especially shameful for Hobbes to err in this matter, or in this place; for it is disgraceful for him to accord to anyone in the state of nature a peculiar privilege of civil society precisely where he pretends to discuss with the greatest accuracy the differences between these states […]
