By punishment alone, obligation

2 uncertainty as to efficiency.
Law giver's instrument
the Judge –
operation necessary to enable
Jude of apply reward

from taking the coat, giving
me a better.
2. So to every other person of
20 millions do.

many days – years of our
joint lives say 10 – days
3650.

Per Blackstone were
the country to be
reward might suffice.
Expectation of such eventual
punishment, being
indispensable, how to create
& keep it alive?
Answer – Lawgiver & his
under operator Judge, exist
So in my mind – belief of intention
on their pat if I
take your coat, to punish me.
Signs by the perception
of which such belief is producible
are 1. audible
discourse. 2 visible discourse.
3 significant
deportment.
No otherwise than by memory
can the audible signs
continue to produce this
effect.(a)
(a) Remembrances to City
of London, 2. Exchequer.
