SECT: Parts of a Law.

The question we see is, why not go to words in order now in order to get particular
points of conduct observed, the Law goes to work by punish in ordinary
by particular allottments of punishment, and not by
particular allottments of reward. Our Author's the reason is,
that we here it has in its service a certain general allottment of reward, which
answers the purpose:⊞ ⊞ whether it it does or no [is by this time I suppose sufficiently discernible] we supposedly there ] does not, the reader, I suppose, by this time sees. To this for it as evident, it how true tis is, is
does not.

As to his second reason – We are told indeed
that when the giving rewards in all cases is a thing impossible:⊞ ⊞ than which reason being so true as it is, there certainly can not be a better. Indeed it is so good an one that it might spare the trouble of searching for more. But he has almost spoilt it in the telling. We are told I say, that it is impossible: but the reason of that is but the reason for it that is, we are
not rich enough. A little more money to dispose
of, the national debt paid off perhaps may make and the
the business might be done. This is the aspect he
has given his second reason.

As to the third, it true as it the notion may be in the main,
it appears liable to exception doubtful at least in the loose manner
he has expressed it. Love is generally acknowleged
for to be the most powerful stimulation of any, even to actions
to which the fear of evil and the hope prospect of good are both capable of serving
as motives to.
But Love is the prospect of good. And there are exertions
to which the the sort only at the greatest good
with respect to which, as we have already hinted,† † See above, p...
the of good latter sort of motive has not only the most power force
of the two but is in a manner the only one of
them two that has any.

To express the above the reasons together with one All this reasoning may go near to seem a mere matter
or two. of supererogation. For the use of reasons instead for a
method of proceeding is to satisfy those whoother more without them might
