Benef Negative beneficence as we have seen – and we again go over the ground for the sake of showing what is left to positive beneficence – negative beneficence is exercised in so far as mischief
is not done to others. Negative beneficence in accordan it is seen amounts to
nothing, unless in so far as accompanied either with correspondent Benevolence:
or with self-regarding Prudence. The most mischievous of all
beings exercises Negative Beneficence in respect of all imaginable
mischief, except that which he does.

Negative Benevolence Beneficence is a Virtue, in so
far as any mischief which without consideration might have been
done produced is by thorough consideration forborne to be produced. In so
far as it is by the consideration of the effect which the mischievous
action might have upon a man's own happiness comfort, the Virtue is
Prudence – Self-regarding Prudence: in so far as it is by the consideration
of the effect which the mischievous action might have
upon the happiness comfort of on the any other person, the virtue is Benevolence.
As to Self-regarding Prudence it will be spoken of in another place.
