Logic or Ethics Ch. Causes of Immorality

6

§.3. Religion misapplied

3. On the occasion of any proposed act, to apply to the occasion make application
of the principle of utility, is to take one account
of the feelings of both sorts the two opposite kinds of the pleasures of all sorts
on the one side; of the pains of all sorts on the other side
that and likely to which in the all breasts of all
persons that seem likely to be in any way affected by it, seems liable
and likely, in the two opposite cases of the act's being done
and of its being left undone, to take their place.

But in no part of the books works in question is any
such account to be found, or so much as any the smallest slightest trace of it one.

In the nature of things — in the nature of language itself
or in the nature of the particular language in use at the times
and in the places in which the discourses in question are represented
to have been delivered, exists there any bar — or so
much as any impediment to the taking of such account?

No verily. Where then is the language, in particular
the written language which is incapable of designating serving for the designation
of any of the pleasures or any of the pains to of which those who speak it are
susceptible, or of any of the acts from which those pleasures
and those pains may respectively be seen to flow?
