Please help me clarify this aporetic sentence:
"If every difference in point of fact is equally a matter of indifference in point of morals, it is never posible to show why I should not take any difference I chooze as making in point of moralls all the difference."(philosophical context, about John Locke and essentialism)
Would you please analyse it?

"If every difference in point of fact is equally a matter of indifference in point of morals, it is never posible to show why I should not take any difference I chooze as making in point of morals all the difference."
In point of fact, if every difference is equally a matter of indifference in relation to morals, it is never possible to show why I should not take any difference I choose as making all the difference in relation to morals
Don't know if this makes any better logical sense, but I think it is what Locke is saying.
"in point of fact" is an idiomatic expression but the writer replace the "morals" with "fact" and defamilirize this cliche.should we take this idiom word by word or overally?
