The First Law was very poorly worded in the Latin version and henceforth mistranslated compared with how it has been practiced for three hundred years in teaching the law.

The translation rendered the meaning of conditionally phrased laws of motion and, simultaneously, removed the very principle of external pressure that commands motion and rest into submission.
