Constitutional CodeCh. X Ministers Severally
§. 3. III. Stipendiary Principles Applied

In the notions in which the above practice has its cause
in this the above notion there is a mixture of justice reasoning knowledge and judgment on the one
hand and ignorance and erroneous judgment and correspondent action
on the other.

What is true is – this

1. Fear is of all springs of action the most painful. and on the pr

2. So, on the present occasion case an indispensable one.

3. So the considered apparent certainty of punishment which is the object of
it being given, the efficiency of the fear will be as the apparent magnitude
of that punishment capable of being it.

4. So in the instance of each habitual quantity of transgression been supposed the same as that part of all men man exposed to it, the apparent certainty in his
case will be as the quantity he sees inflicted on produced in other men.

But On the other hand what is overlooked and in respect of which ignorance
taken the place of knowledge is as follows

1. The greater the fear the greater the aversion to the entrance into
the situation – thence the greater the expence necessary to
engage men to enter into it voluntarily.

2. The greater the powers suffering in the shape of fines
and in other shapes taken together, the greater the aversion
to the situation – thence the stronger the disposition to quit desist
with notwithstanding from it, and the correspondent practice the punishment for desertion notwithstanding.

3. The greater the suffering the greater the hatred as towards
those who are seen and felt to be the authors of it, the
stronger accordingly the their desire to free themselves from it at
the expence of those same authors.

4. The greater more appropriate extensive the knowledge and wisdom the intellectual and moral active aptitude of
those sufferers, the greater will be the probability of their employing
their endeavours in procuring for themselves those means of comfort,
and the probability of their success succeeding in such endeavours.

5. The stronger on the part of all other men the sympathy
for human suffering in this as in other situations, the stronger
will be their desire of and their consequent endeavour to contribute
to the production of that same comfort – thence to the extinction of
all systems of oppression by which it is produced.
