1 Thus in regard to Subsis Abundance. It is the interest of
every one that in the whole community the quantity of the matter of
abundance be as great as may be, at its maximum, maximized because, layout out of the
case any particular plan of division and distribution, the greater
the quantity of the aggregate stock, the greater the quantity and value
of each one's his share in it: provided always, that by any encrease
given to the aggregate his share be not diminished.

2. Then again as to Subsistence. Of Subsistence in so
far as they can have place whether in reality or in conception the mind separately and
distinctly the Subsistence precedes as well in the order of time importance, as
in the order of importance time precedes abundance. But in the
matter of abundance the matter of subsistence is included comprehended.
In the whole community taken in the aggregate abundance can
not be in abundance, but subsistence must be an exclusion.
In the desire of universal abundance, the desire of universal subsistence is inseparably
included.

3. Next in regard to security taken in all its branches: Security
for good in all its shapes, as above: with the addition of security against evil in all its
shapes. But Security as against calamity or against hostility:
security against hostility is Security against the hostility of external
enemies or security against the hostility of internal enemies. Security
against the hostility of internal enemies is security against the hostility
of and unauthorized commissioned resistible enemies, and or security against the hostility of
authorized uncommissioned irresistible enemies. Now But against hostility in the Enemies
against whose hostility no one individual can effectually be secured
but in proportion as all others who are not enemies, likewise
are effectually secured against it are external enemies, and among
internal ones those resistible and comparatively weak feeble enemies, who
in all political communities are recognized as such, and warred upon as such, by the constituted
authorities. Against these it is the interest of every member of the
community that security should be possessed by all others as well as by himself,
and for this plain reason, namely, because
if not by all others
it could not be possessed by
himself.
