1819 March or April
3 2d Motives belonging to the Sympathetic sanction.
In some instances this motive alone is sufficient
to produce the effect without the aid of either of
the other motives.
But over and above any such pleasure
of sympathy as may happen the derived from
the exercise of this virtue in the individual
instance considered by itself, very act of which
it is exercised contributes to the formation of
a correspondent habit; and the greater the
number of acts of this lost performed within
a given time the stronger the habit. And the
stronger the habit, the more intense the
feeling of self complaining which it tends to
diffuse over the whole mental frame; as also
the greater the chance of its becoming continuing
production of similar acts of which the rewards
belonging to the popular or moral sanctions
may be the fruits.
