Indirect Legislation

Non-seducing

Monastic orders

Whether it can ever in any case it
can be expedient to punish a man grown
for acts the mischief of which if any redounds
who solely to himself may bear a
question. But upon the principle of utility
it can bear no question whether the law ought
by hope or by fear to seduce men entice a man into
situations in which he is obliged by force of
punishment to engage in such acts without
any advantage [resulting from it] to any body
else. The principle upon which institutions ground of these institutions of
this sort are grounded is a principle which
as far as it goes is runs diametrically opposite
to that of utility, & which I have termed the
principle of asceticism. Princ. of Legisl. ch. 2
[Principles adverse]
To this head belongs
the part which whatever part is taken by government takes in per endowing
or permitting supporting the endowment of the
several monastic orders, on the one hand and in the enforcing
the observance of monastic vows [the vows by which persons
of both sexes engage themselves for life to the
observance of the laws by which those the several orders
are respectively characterized.]
