nemo nocens, si fata regunt quod vivitur ac fit: immo nocens quicumque volens quod non licet audet, alterutrum quia velle suum est nec fata reatum inponunt homini, sed fit reus ipse suopte arbitrio, placitumque nefas et facta rependit inpia suppliciis merito non sorte peremptus.
No man is guilty if it is fate that rules all life and action. No, the guilty man is he who dares of his own will to do what is forbidden, because to will one or the other is in his own power and it is no fate that imposes guilt on man, but he becomes guilty by his own choice and pays for the crime he willed and the wicked deeds he did, owing the punishment which cuts him off to his desert and not to fate.
