Hey all you Latin gurus - could you translate something for me please?

I'm trying to find out what this phrase means -

"Quod facimus per alium, id ipsum facere judicamur"

Thank you!

"But it is a rule that we are said to do that which we do by another—Quod facimus per alium, id ipsum facere judicamur." This is a quote from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible. You can see this in context at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library. http://www.ccel.org/ccel/henry/mhc5.iii.viii.html?bcb=0

Quod facimus = That which we do
per alium = through another
id ipsum = that thing itself
facere judicamur = we are said to do
