VII

Morality can have no other end thanMorality, Religion Politics, Meet Between Morality
can, indeed only have an end common object

If the Politician. Moralist, and Divine all know what they are about, their
purposes can be no other than the same.

The Politician's end is, I think,is universally allowed to be happiness - The
happiness of the State — the greatest happiness possible among the individuals of
a state during the present life.

To the Politician, as such, hence is given to make this his end by
all parties I think in whatever may be there opinion on Religion and in or Morals; by all parties I think, without
one dissenting voice.

This being the case, it were strange if the ends of the other two mustwere allowed to be different.
If so, each pursuing his end by means that were different, how were they so - if different happen and upon occasion opposite,
at the least. or most were burned - if the Divine and the Moralist by means that were contemplated result contrary opposite to those of intended by the
Politician. They would be in a state of universal warfare. Each would be reduced for
his security, or for the furtherance of his end. A fight against the other two with such
weapons as he is master of. The divine would denounce his antagonist. or his
antagonists to the vengeance of the Celestial Tribunal, would imagine or would
forge, decrees from it, and endeavor to persuade the by-standers to execute them.
The Moralist would thunder out the anathemas of his self erected Court Moral,
or, as some affect to call denominate it, common sense; would call his enemy, fool, and
villain, and hypocrite, and nonsense - talker; and make interest with the
by standers to treat him as if he were so. And the Politician, if incommoded
by such sort of artillery, would be driven to defend himself by such means as he
is provided with. I am not to think And indeed, if things were to come to this, the Politician
would be found rather too hard for the other two, and that the upshot of the fray would
be, did not his own principles, and the consciousness of their weaknessvalue restrain him
thathe would set his arms akimbo, and like Lord Peter in the history, kick his
obstreperous.
