| "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? |
