This the easiest conceived.
Inducement, moving pleasures,
do. of expectation, i.e.

of his relation
to the pleasures received.

2. Fear of the reproach
of ingratitude: want of
gratitude, as above. Such

by ignorance, another
part.

3. Fear of the reproach of perfidy:
viz. where the contributing

benefit, has been made

those which prescribe requital
of kindnesses and
fulfilment of contracts.

by exceptions, either would
suffice for the destruction
of society. In whatsoever
shape or degree an act be
mischievous, engagement
to join in the commission
of it, will not do away it's
mischievousness.
