Constitut. Code

3. Take in the last place, the Penal branch of law. Immediately
subordinate ends Beneficial Effect of the distributive benefit of the law
maximized; punishming minimized.

With regard to the Civil or say distributive branch of law
taken in its several sub-branches or specific branches, as above
it has been how far the practical in the situation of Monarch
his particular interest is accordant and coincident with the universal
interest, how far opposite to it.

1. First then as to the maximization
of the beneficial effects in question. So far as the above mentioned coincidence has
place it is his interest that the effect be of universally beneficial
effects may, by all imaginable means, and by
this principal means in particular be maximized. But so
far as instead of coincidence opposition has place, this
same particular interest of his requires that those the amount
of those same beneficial effects be minimized: or, in other
words, that none such have place.

2. Next and lastly, as to the minimization of punishment.
So far as by the infliction of punishment misdeeds on the part of any individual
in or not in the situation of functionary under him misdeeds
tending to promote his particular interest – vengeance and
cases included would be repressed, his interest requires
that no punishment at all be inflicted: or if any, none
beyond the least possible.

So far as by the infliction of punishment acts tending
to the security of individuals against misdeeds the commission
of which is required to as above by his particular interest
would be prevented, and thence his power of evil doing
restricted, his acts of in that or any gratification afforded
to his appetite for vengeance, or any security afforded to
him against disturbance to his case against disturbance,
his particular interest requires that punishment
be maximized.

For particular exemplification see the above mentioned "Statute".
