Of Well-being and Ill-being Ch. in Happiness and Unhappiness
§. 1. Well-being what- Happiness not exactly synonymous to it

For clearness of discourse and conception it is altogether absolutely
necessary to have some word by which the difference
in value between the sum of the pleasure of all sorts and the cause of the
pains of all sorts which down to the the point of time (suppose
the end of his life) a man has experienced may be designated.

This difference may, if it be on the side of pleasure pleasure and of the amount
be termed the neat amount of his well-being or more shortly
his clear well-being. or simply his well-being:—
— if on the side of pain, the neat amount of his ill-being
— or his neat ill-being — or simply his ill-being

Instead of well-being the word happiness it will not be equally suitable
to the purpose: It seems not only to exclude pain
in all its shapes, altogether out of the account, but to give it
to be understood, thus whichsoever have been the pleasure that
been experienced it is in a high and as it were
degree that they have been experienced.

Comparatively speaking few men it is believed would be to be found who
to any , have not been in the enjoyment ofthe whole benefit of these taken together
to increase more or less considerable of well-being. Much fewer
all during the the laborin equal period have been
in the possession and enjoyment of happiness as above
described.
