In the case where it is remunerative, it admitts of another distinction
highly necessary to be noticed.

When remuneration it may operate the application made of the
matter of corruption may have been are consequent or antecedent antecedent or consequent to </del> with reference relation to the sinister effect produced: the corruption
in this case it being said to be antecedently remunerative, in the
other case consequently or consequentially remunerative: or for
shortness the remuneration and thence the termed corruption may be said to be antecedential in the
one case, consequential or subsequential in the other.

The case in which it the remuneration is consequential is the case in which
the explanation conception of it is most easy, and the operation of it most
service, a functionary suppose who has an office at his disposal, in the first
place locates in it an suppose an indispensably unapt individual, on whose account a bribe is expected,
and then receives in consideration of and recompense for the benefit
thus conferred, receives a sum of money which in this case
is called a bribe: or a legislator meaning a person having a
share in legislative power, for in confidence under in the expectation
of thereby recommending himself to the favour receiving for himself or friend a lucrative office at the hands of a Monarch who
for the purpose of adding to the number of good things at his disposal
in bringing about an unjust war, given his vote in favour of
the war, and receives the office accordingly; or an Elector
vacancy an individual having a share in the location of a legislator
in the expectation of receiving a certain sum of money at
the hands of one of the Candidates a Candidate for a seat in the legislature
delivers his vote in favour of for that same candidate, and thereupon
afterwards receives the money.

In all these cases it is the cause by which the sinister effect is produced is by expectation – by the pleasure
of expectation by the contemplation of the good eventually expected,
by the desire of that same good – the good itself not being yet in possession,
in a word by hope.
