§ Instruments Incorporeal instruments of Good and Bad Rule
Now as to the instruments of Good Rule and Bad Rules,
and first of the incorporeal ones.
The augmentive productive creation or preservation of felicity being
the one all comprehensive object and of desire and end in view and
object of desire, as to every human action in every situation, so necessarily
in that of all those by whom by whom rule is exercised, felicity
together with its opposite infelicity in their several modifications are as necessarily the
subject matters of the operations. But in their several
modifications these same elements are also by an equal
necessity rendered the equally unnecessary and indispensable
instruments for the attainment of that end. Only by pl In no case without
the elements of infelicity and felicity only by pain and pleasure applied to them in a certain manners can
sensitive beings be rendered instrumental in the exclusion
of pain evil or the production of pleasure good in the nature of
pain or in the production of pleasure.
When however they are spoken of as being employed in the character
of instruments, they are spoken of by appellations different
from those by which they are designated spoken of when spoken of
in the character of ends.
