Translation: All men [are slaves] of God by nature, but those who gladly choose his mastery [are so] by disposition.[1]
Base men[2] [are] slaves of evils, but virtuous men [are] free. There is also another [sc. type of] slavery, the one [consisting of] subjection [to another person], and a third one [consisting of] both possession [by another] and subjection [to another person]. Its opposite is despotism [or mastery], and this is base as well. But virtuous people are not only free but also kings, since kingship is a position of authority with no accountability, which only could belong to the wise.
