A. C. (Archibald Colin) Campbell translation
"Because then the condition of the contracting parties being unequal, there is great reason to believe, that he, to whose disadvantage the inequality is, has pretended to engage himself as little as possible: and it was the other's business who was to have the benefit of it, to have the thing explained in as clear a manner as possible."—Barbeyrac.
