Logic or Ethics Ch Object?
2 § Purity & Impurity
In so far as by the medical practitioner, by the
domestic ruler, or by the political ruler, whether in the character of
a burthen punishment inflicted in any other
than a vindictive and tyrannic view, or in the character
of a burthen in any shape imposed for the purpose of
conferring producing a correspondent and proposed erant benefit,
pain is produced, it is produced in the design and
with the endeavour that it shall be as impure as
possible. (a)
Note (a)
(a) In For a grammatical sense purpose, purity and impurity
if not with equal profit, nor yet with equal expressiveness, at any rate with equal
innoxiousness innocence, the words purity and impurity have been employed,
[as well as by moralists in this discourse and others of the same matters in the above-mentioned arithmetical
or mathematical sense.]
In the Westminster Grammar, if preceded by a vowel,
a letter, whether be it vowel or consonant is termed pure: if by a consonant, impure.
The connection by analogy, from the observation or imagination of which
a connection was considered as subsisting pronounced to exist between the original
and archetypal viz. the physical sense of the terms
and this the tralatitious import thus assigned to them, has
not been found perceptible.
