Answers. 1 Satisfaction
can not be rendered
but to the affliction
of the delinquent
2. Falshood not wilful,
the affliction
resulting from the
making satisfaction
suffices for determent
for the future: viz
both of this and of
other such wilful
wrongdoers in the
like way — the offence
is the result of wanton reflection.

1. Falshood wilful,
the offence is the result
of reflection which may
to any degree be deliberate.
2. The more deliberate
the more depraved,
the more propense
to evil doing in the
frame of mind: thence
the greater the force
necessary to surmount
the propensity.
