To be copied by an argument drawn from Mr Locke himself
"And farther," says he, "because the dread of
"evil is a much more forcible principle of
"human actions, than the prospect of good."
And no doubt these are minds upon of whom this
is true: but with all due respect to our Author,
& the truly respectable authority he quotes,
I hope this is not true of all, - no, nor of the
greater part of mankind. — These are men I
hope, on whom the prospect of good is as
"compulsory" as the fear of evil: with whom
Vol.1. p.57 "the chief obligation of the Law": or, to speak
more intelligibly with whom the cheif motive
to obedience, does not "consist in the
"penalty." — I persuade myself that our
Author feels as strongly the binding force
of the Law, as if he had always before his
eyes a the whipping post, or the gallows. —
