§. 2 or 3. Moral causes in general – viz. the several sanctions –

Not only As to moral causes, – not only incorrectness
and incompleatness in testimony, – but (what seems almost to have often
escaped notice) correctness and compleatness, owe
their existence to good or and evil – to pleasure and pain –
in experience or in reputation prospect – acting existing in the mind
in the shape of interests, and, in so far as is yet but in prospect, operating through the medium in the shape
of hope and fear in the character of motives.(a)
⊞ A table

Note (a)
⊞ A Table, in which
of the several of
pleasures and pains
of which incident to human nature
is susceptible such
of them at least as present themselves
as capable of operating
to a legal purpose
are exhibited, in company
with the correspondent
interests of
which they are creative, and the motives
in the character of which
they respectively operate,
forms an accompaniment
of to the present body of the
work.

Mendacity Veracity therefore, not less than mendacity,
is the result of interest: and in so far as depends upon will,
and it depends in each instance upon the issue of the conflict
between parties two opposite groupes of contending interests, which of them
shall be the result.

Collectively taken and ranged into groupes, and deduced
each groupe from a particular source, and . Considered in the character of causes of human
action in general, and of human discourse and
of including testimonial discourse in particular, those
modifications of pleasure and pain, experienced or expected,
have received have elsewhere been brought to view under the name of sanctions.† † Introd. Pain.

So far as they are considered as the result of
causes purely physical, the action of other rational agents
from without not having any share in the production of
them, they are referable to a sanction which may be termed the physical – the purely physical
sanction: – so to in so far as they are expected at
the hands of rational agents, they are have been referred to one or
other of those sanctions – 1. the popular or moral sanction,
2. the political, including the legal sanction, 3. the religious or
supernatural sanction: – from for to the popular or moral sanction it is that
they may be referred, in so far as the pleasures or pains in question are considered
as abou to result or liable eventually to result from the good or the offices, and thence
from the good or ill will, thence again from the good or ill opinion
of other human beings; viz. in virtue of whatsoever portion of liberty
to this effect may have
been left to them, by law
by the state and condition of the law.
