English commentary: The reviewed Tractatus is not supposed to be confused with the TTP. According to the reviewer, it is only printed in the Opera Posthuma and is supposed to show true politics. He accuses Spinoza of propagating his "atheistic" views. Spionoza is praising Machiavelli and excuses his malicious thoughts. He is trying everything to devaluate religion and godliness. Thereby Spinoza is showing his "atheistic" Prinzipium de Deo creaturas distributo.
The reviewer values Spinozas thoughts about politics, but is disappointed by his "atheistic" principles.
