§ Different degrees of the influence with which the
several sanctions operate in different stages in the career
of civilization —

21.
As to the physical sanction the degree of influence
with which to the person in question in so far
as they are present to the minds the pain belonging
to it this sanction, operate will in all stages be of course pretty much the
same. But it is only in so far as at the very moment
of action any idea is actually present to the mind
that in the character of a motive it can be productive
of any effect: and as the strength and steadiness
of the mind and the command which it has over
its several faculties I are continually increasing the
aggregate body of recorded observation and experiences &
with the correspondent length of recorded practise,
so the earlier the period the less likely upon each occasion
is the greater, and more durably and extensive series of
pains future contingent pains & places to be upon
each occasion, present in such sort as to be set
in the balance against any immediate pleasure
by which, in the character of a motive, a man may
be prompted to act in such sort as to produce
preponderant evil whether to himself or to any other
person or persons: and thus it is that even the at a
physical more advanced state of Society in
the character of a mischief restraining forces
even the physical sanction is apt to act with
greater efficiency than at a stage less advanced.

(Proceed to state how the force of the moral
& sympathetic sanctions increases as Society
advances
