157

These two branches of morality correspond with
the branches of negative & positive offences which are
taken cognizance of by Law.

A negative offence is the omitting to do prevent that
which if done would constitute a positive offence. It is
a guilt of abstention. It is the forbearance of a man to prevent
a mischief preventable by his interference.

A positive offence is the direct infliction of a
mischief.

In both cases the offence consists in that course of conduct
which leaves a balance on the side of evil.
