Again, voluntary actions we do either from deliberate choice or

without it; from it, when we act from previous deliberation;

without it, when without any previous deliberation. Since then

hurts which may be done in transactions between man and man are

threefold, those mistakes which are attended with ignorance are,

when a man either does a thing not to the man to whom he meant to

do it, or not the thing he meant to do, or not with the

instrument, or not with the result which he intended: either he

did not think he should hit him at all, or not with this, or this

is not the man he thought he should hit, or he did not think this

would be the result of the blow but a result has followed which

he did not anticipate; as, for instance, he did it not to wound

but merely to prick him; or it is not the man whom, or the way in

which, he meant.
