And indeed, Google translater gives this:

"linked to this society by certain duties and subject to its authority, they participate with equality has its advantages"

http://translate.google.com/#fr|en|lies%20a%20cette%20societe%20par%20certains%20devoirs%20et%20soumis%20a%20son%20autorite%2C%20ils%20participent%20avec%20egalite%20a%20ses%20avantages

[Verginius Rufus]

The Google translation is better but not still completely correct--they mistake the "a" which should be the preposition (with a grave accent) for the 3rd person singular present indicative of the verb "avoir."

So instead of "they participate with equality has its advantages" it should read "they participate in its advantages with equality."
