Perhaps you figured this out since April, but the quoted clause makes sense in the context of Mencius’ particular use of the terms “universalism” (roughly: what everyone in polite society believes these days in the West) which he categorizes as “antinomian”, roughly: opposed to natural law.
What does that mean? The whole clause. And I don’t understand why you equate universalism with antinomianism.
