Indirect Legislation
Diverting
to endeavour to get rid of them. Strictly speaking
indeed I know but one that will come under
this description, I mean the love of intoxication.:
for as to the desire of vengeance and irascible appetite when mediated
confined within certain
bounds
it is useful at
least if not necessary [to the exciting of men to take
the requisite], as a stimulus to excite men to
take the necessary measures for guarding propelling themselves
against repelling injury: and as to ind the love of ease
it is mischievous not in itself, but on account
of the inlet which idleness affords to the influence dominion
of the two other appetites. In practise however
and with a view to the use there may be in
combating endeavouring to controul their combating their influence,
all these appetites may be consider'd [as being]
upon the same footing.: for though however as to the irascible appetite
whatever necessity there may be for a certain dose
of it the irascible passion , yet there is no danger
that of the legislator's reducing it below this the mark
by any endeavours he can use: For the note see No A
and as to the
love of ease this also is a propensity against which
the Legisla he may direct his efforts with equal
security give a boon to his endeavours direct his efforts — so long as
he substitutes no other mischievous propensity in
the room of it.
