| when there is found no subject |

Hi. Junya from Japan.
There is such a phrase,
"et ideo non est simile."
And I can't find its subject, there being no neuter singular noun before this phrase. So I translated this as "so the situation is not the same (between these)", making up a subject noun "situation".
Quoting the whole passage would cause a big labor to you,
so I translate and summarize it here.
"When reason receives an order from passion(irascibilis and concuscibilis), passion is prior to reason. (It is, I guess, when a man is not controlled by reason, but by passion.) But, when the inferior appetite obeys the supeior appetite, passion obeys reason. (Here my problematic phrase "et ideo non est simile." appears.)So the situation between these is not the same."

The passage was short. So I paste it. REad this if it is not laborsome.
Ad sextum dicendum, quod virtutes sensitivae cognitivae sunt naturaliter praeviae rationi, cum ab eis ratio accipiat; appetitivae autem sequuntur naturaliter ordinem rationis cum naturaliter appetitus inferior superiori obediat; et ideo non est simile.

My translation "between these" means like, between when a man obeys to passion, and when a man obeys to reason.
