"illustrious" used to get over a difficulty punishments of crimes the most opposite in degree —
a Man after hearing or observing [a relation of or being witness
to] on the one hand a theft attended with aggravating circumstances of
ingratitude and absence of necessity [in the spoiler] distress in the spoiled + + some of which too all of which too do not go to augment the misery of the sufferer produced by it and
others that might be mentioned, or on the other a
Murder after a variety train of bitter and repeated provocations
on the part of the person murder'd, might be
apt to entertain a stronger resentment against
[the] theft at least that theft, than against murder,
at least that Murder — In short the emotion resentment is not always proportionable to the mischief to Society [as it depends frequently in great measure upon a variety of other circumstances] and if it were, to abridge the matter it would be better to assure this than the other — the more evident the connection is of a any maxim with that other maxim from which it derives it's truth and importance, the more evident will it's truth and importance be also — add to this, that the resentment of one more is not a reason for another man: and nothing is more apparent than that an the act will one man excite resentment in one man and none in another or else a weak one v. for an instance Hutch.son 265. and every body knows one must have
observed how apt general propositions rules maxims are made up of and
assume the colour of the particular propositions that of which they are made up
have happened to occur. to the mind which forms them from which
they were formed. —

of mankind in general but in that of each person
in particular.
