Logic or Ethics Ch Summum bonum

2 § Politicians

As to the objection about caducity, in so far as it means any thing it is answered
it has received an answer in the answer about instability unsteadiness

But does not as to meaning has it any? and if
any, what? If by from any person this latter question is capable
of receiving an answer it must be from some person, other
than him by whom this objection the objection thus worded was brought to view.

Honor? what does did means Honor? Honour or Honours?
Natural good reputation, or political and factitious dignity: for in England lish
these words is the distinction between the singular and the
plural.

Good repute — reputation was is it that? By accident
no doubt may good repute attach upon ill desert behaviour,
ill repute upon good. But if this disastrous ill constituted state of
things, if it be a possible one, and now and then a
visible one, happily for any length of time at least
it is not an ordinary one. In that Were there even these
truth in it than there is, in the mouth of a moralist
at any rate, it seems not a very consistent one: to
undervalue under rate the force power of the moral sanction is not surely the
part of a professed moralist whatsoever else it may be.
[] has no more of consistency
than it has of truth
in the mouth of a
professed moralist,
whatsoever it may
have in other mouths

These rival sanctions in some sort on some occasions rivals — the populars, the political , and the
religious: by the politician and by the religionist, [more especially
particularly by the religionist] the power or at least and in particular the tutelars
power as applied to tutelary purposes is but too apt to
be undrvalued. But the professed moralist is it for him to
undervalue it? to undervalue it is to undervalue his
own occupation: it is as if a tradesman were to undervalue
the very ware he deals in
