§ 2. General inducements to General Benevolence & Beneficence

Over
Over and above any present pleasure with which independently of
consideration may the act may happen to be accompanied exercise an act of beneficence may be accompanied to the actor, the
inducement to which a man has for the its exercise of beneficence
is the of the same sort as that which the
husbandman has for the sowing of his seed, as that which the frugal
man has for the laying up money. Seed sown is no otherwise
of any value but than for the crops of which it is productive.
Money is of no of any value but for the services of all
sorts which it procures at the hands of other men: at the
hands of the labourer, the service rendered by the performance
of his labour: at the hands of the baker, the service performed
by the delivery of his bread to the customer who gives the money
for it.

By every act of virtuous beneficence which a man exercises
contribution is made he contributes to a sort of fund – a sort of Savings Bank
a sort of depository of General general Good will ,out of which services
to of all sorts may be looked for as about to flow, upon occasions, out of from
other hands into his: if not positive services, at any
rate negative services. Services consisting in the forbearance
to vex him by annoyances with which he might otherwise
have been vexed.
