Evidence

Suppose it, although howsoever necessary, at this same yet greater in value than the
good in the endeavour for the removal of which it would is proposed to be produced,
it be the same thing that is and thence in other words than the evil for
the repulsion of which it is proposed to be employed. In this
case the result must again be a portion of pure evil: a ballance
on the side of evil to the difference in value on the side of evil between the
good produced and the act introduced between evil kept out repelled and the evil introduced. Second limitation
narrowing still further the description of the evil to be avoided, the limitation
applied by the epithet preponderant: instead of vexation simply,
say vexation unnecessary or preponderant: – and so of the
rest.

With a view,, In practice, with a view for the purpose as a means of forming a judgment of the
propriety of established practice, the limitation is by no means
a matter of indifference. Take it without the limitation,
the object end an unattainable one: the evils opposite to it & undiminishable: therefore, with or without
limitation, it is not worth thinking about: such is the logic of
the system of abuse. Take it without limitation the end is an unattainable
one, therefore in speaking of it let us avoid saying any thing speak of it avoiding to say
about limitations: – such is the policy of the system of abuse.
