§ Evils or inconveniences opposite and correspondent to
the above ends.

In proportion as any object is so good, the at.
Every good has its attendant and correspondent evil
viz: the non existence or the negation say non-attainment of that
same good.

In proportion as each of those ends is a good –
and the attainment of it a desirable end – the non-attainment
of it is an evil. So many ends then, the attainment
of which is a good, and as such the an object with
the legislator and the Judge on the occasion of in respect of to be pursued by the system of
procedure – so many sorts of evils or inconveniences, the avoidance of which

being in itself the same, the convenience of discourse may require
it to be placed sometimes on one side of the equation,
sometimes on the other. Here as in algebra The sign prefixed to it will

it the quantity is positive, placed on the other it must be
negative.

and frequently with more irresistible force, sometimes a force frequently more
irresistible, sometimes altogether irresistible, towards the production of
those same evils.
