Religious Sanctions continued
Disadvantages of

7 The common language & notion of a heaven and Hell, contradict
the idea of a proportion.
Characters differ and vary from each other in point of
probity & improbity by indistinguishable degrees imperceptible differences: Whereas
the difference is represented as indefinite between the lowest
mansion in heaven supposing them different as well as
"many" and the highest in Hell.

8th The religious sanction does not bear with sufficient
steadiness upon those practises alone which are adverse
to happiness: the weight of it is shared by others that
are not so: viz. an intercourse of homage with the
deity. 2 observance of rites ceremonies: 3dly belief of doctrines. V2 179

It is agreed that no man can live without offending violating
some of his duties

2 That some men will be saved

3 That therefore those will be saved i.e placed in a
state of happiness, who have violated some of their
duties

4 That the people will be advanced to a greater higher state of
happiness will be in the ratio of the duties violate
by any man to the duties which he was to have observed

Self Love. Partie honteuse of the mind

What is the reason of the reluctance in certain moralists
to having the principal of Self Love upon into view upon the Carpet? it is a sort
of bashfulness: which like that which has the particular
appetite of is commendable at the Tea table, but may
be fatal at the bed of Sickness.
This principle to which all the passions and notions
of mankind owe their birth, is as the partie
of the mind.

I must entreat my readers especially those of the profession. Not
to imagine that when certain words have been pronounced, a
reason is given: whether the factor the maxim which these words
impart be true or no. As to the rule which reprobates Inferior Evidence.
To admit either that a reason is valid, is that it is not. Not
to allow to allow it at one time, and reject it at another.
