Revenge in expectation.
my pleasure was thus a Pleasure of expectation.

One thing is remarkable in the Pleasures of
Revenge. their irascible appetites the irascible
appetite. The pleasure of Revenge.
I will explain it as usual by an example.
It is a pleasure of the mind and yet it
better not it's original like every other pleasure
of the mind [we have spoken of] from the
pleasures of the body. At the same time
it is as dependent upon body, upon
bodily sensation of the ob as any other. It is
grounded not upon the sensations not of
the person whose pleasure it is, but of
another, the person that angred him; and those
not painful but pleasurable ones but painful.
How this should be is inexplicable:
but not more so: than how a sensation should

produce a sense one of the same quality in
this same person: a pleasure of enjoyment
produce a pleasure of expectation.

Pain of disappointed Revenge.
It is plain to
As to Pain, it is plain that this pleasure
like any other has correspondent to it
a Pain of Disappointment. I am
about to beat you. I think I have you
You escape me. I feel a pain. it is
a pain of Disappointment.

---page break---

You have anger'd me. I beat you. cause you to be beaten.
I feel a pleasure of revenge. To what
part of me does it make itself perceived?
to my mind. It is therefore a pleasure
of the mind.

Meantime whence came it there? from
any pleasure of my body? no. my
body is not concerned. No pleasure of the body
is in the least degree in expectation. My pleasure
in it would be just the same were I conscious to know
I were never to have I should never have any pleasure of the body,
any sense in any pleasure in short of the concupiscible
appetite, any more.

At the same time depend upon the body
it must: for all it is a sensation: all sensations
are perceptions. and all perceptions depend
upon the Body for it is at the body only they
can come in.

Whence arises it then? from a pain. (for
there is no other sensation it can arise from
from a pain of and that my body? no. that were inconceivable:
but of your's.

---page break---

It differs therefore from the pleasures of
the concupiscible appetite in two things:
1. In that the sensations of the body it depends
upon on are not as in that, pleasures:
but pains: 2. and those not of men who
feel it, but of your's.

That pain of your's which I took for an
instance was a pain of the body: a pain
of sufferance: but it is plain that a sensation
pain of any other kind appearing to me of to equal degree amount
would equally answer my purpose. It
appear to
is pain, not as pain, not as being any
particular kind of pain that the
pleasure of this appetite takes it's rise
from.

How a pain of in one man should thus produce
pleasure in another is perhaps inexplicable:
but not more so, than how a pleasure of
one sort should produce a pleasure of another
sort in the same person: or pleasure of enjoyment,
a pleasure of expectation.
