Nam uti cadaver hominem mortuum dixeris, simpliciter vero hominem appellare non possis, ita vitiosos malos quidem esse concesserim, sed esse  absolute nequeam confiteri.
For just as you would refer to a lifeless body as a dead man, but would not label it merely as a man, in the same way, I concede that vicious individuals are certainly wicked, but I cannot acknowledge them as such categorically.
