They say not only pledges/securities [sc. in the plural] but also pledge/security [sc. in the singular]. Amongst prohibited things, it seems, is to deposit arms as pledges. So he is saying about Penia [Poverty] that by her own force she compels [people] to break the laws which decreed not depositing arms as pledges.[2]
