               PUNISHMENT it's END  KEYMIS  VINDICTIVE PRINCIPLE 
               

"Upon certain actions hurtful to others the stamp of
impropriety & wrong is impressed in Character visible
to all, not excepting the delinquent." If it is hereby the
Author means, that certain actions are generally &
readily perceived to be hurtful to others it is true
& it is from conceiving perceiving or at last that our indignation judgment of his guilt <add> be guilty</add> is produced
if it be any thing more than a confused
and sur parrole disapprobation.
When we can give any reason for it, that is the reason & no other.

                PUNISHMENT It's END  

The resentment of a good man, that is of a man who has tuned his feelings in unison with the public interest, or rather since it is the natural inconsistency of man & the impossibility of understanding an adherence? to the he has taken up that saves him.

Resentment is a criterion of right & wrong & why? + + v. Keymis Histy of the Criminal Law that would be to be always in the right, with that of public opinion or the yet superior voice of religion, which is always to mean to be so the resentment of such a man & , rises at the sight of wickedness: but .... I know that when a man is angry, he wishes to be thought to be in the right: but I should not have thought in cold blood of saying that he must be so. because
it usually follows an action prejudicial to the Interest
of Society — but suppose it produced by an action not
mischievous? Is it then a criterion of right & wrong?
no surely — or else what else do we mean by an unjust
resentment

They all tacitly suppose or refer to some After which it
Unless whenever a man is angry, & and apprised of all the facts
for I will do it justice if he is in the right, resentment can never
be a fit criterion to be trusted to.

               PUNISHMENT END. False - Vengeance - Keymis.
