In regard to usefulness, (if so plain and vulgar an
effect and quality were regarded as worth attending to) it would
lie on those by whom, on this ground, the transferring diverting of the
matter in question from its originally intended destination, to
this new one were justified — (from that destination purpose but for which it would not
have been produced, and by from which alone the labour employed
in the production of it, could receive its compensation and
due reward), to prove it: but in regard a purpose so different from, and incompatible
with, the only purpose for which it was produced. In regard
to this quality the existence of it being in its own nature altogether
incapable of being proved is of necessity and with the
utmost composure assumed.

If ever of the existence of it proof should be endeavoured to
be proved, made, it would must of necessity be in some such shape as this:
the quantity of obsequiousness necessary to the production of good government
and thence, is by means of the application thus made of the quantity in question of the matter of wealth actually promoted if so pedantic and uncourtly, democratical,
jacobinical, anarchical, impious, and blasphemous a phrase
be insisted upon, the greatest happiness of the greatest number
is insisted upon is promoted by means of the application
thus made of the quantity in question of the matter
of wealth, actually promoted: but as if of that quantity
of wealth no part at all were thus employed, Civil Society
would not, to any effect, have existence, so by any and every
defalcation made from the quantity of that precious matter
thus applied, a proportionable defalcation from the quantity
of happiness enjoyed by the greatest number would be made.
