Rudiment — Great jealousy of the excesses of the donors correspondent to the
pleasures of sense: whereby infinitely less mischief distress can be done by do of these
possessions.

After exception made of the comparatively narrow field
of action above indicated, power being the instrument net by
the employment which the brilliant possessions here in question are sought fished for endeavoured
after to be acquired, the pursuit of the pleasures of the popular or
portion by this course track coincides with the pursuit of the pleasures
of power: and, as above, it is not by the use bu of
that instrument but by the abuse of it that in this case
they are these pleasures are sought after and en to be abused

Striking is the contrast here exhibited by the composure
quillity with which the administering application of these stimuli
with the effect if not for the purpose of engaging men
to in the pursuit pursuing of these most pernicious of all pleasures to
excess the is commonly contemplated, and the jealousy
with which the pursuit of the pleasures of sense,
and in particular those of the sexual appetite are is regarded.
Yet how vast the superiority between of the least mischief produced
by the inordinate excessive pursuit [+]
from of the pleasures
of the moral or popular sanction
derived from this source
of the pleasures of derivable from
power so employed in and the greatest mischief derivable producible
from by the pursuit of any of the pleasures of sense! +

+ Go on to state
the immediate certain good of pl.
of sense alloyd only
by uncertain evil...
and for certain the
absence of all good
derivable from the pursuit
of power so pursued.
