C 15
Of Co-offenders
21

This it may be in two ways: 1. by enhancing the value of the profit.
First with regard to the ways in which the expectation of an
act subsequent to the obnoxious event may contribute
to its production of that very event. If the production of the
event be an object of desire to an offender, it is
not on account of the event itself, but on account
of some profit which it is expected it will bring.
Now although the event which it w has been the object
of an offence to produce have has accomplished,
yet the profit expected from it may not
perhaps have yet been reaped. If this be the case In such case to
with any offences, such offences will admit do any thing that may be conducive towards <add>to the enabling </add>
the offender to reap the profit, may after a certain
manner have the effect of contributing to the production
of the event. Even here indeed, strictly speaking
it is not the subsequent act itself that contributes
any thing: it is only the expectation of it, which
may very well subsist without the act. The case is
still the same, although that expectation be grounded
on a promise. It is not the fulfillment of any
such promise that can contribute any thing to the
production of that event, to the production of which that
the promise itself, however may perhaps have contributed. For,
(speaking of individual events,) it is evident that no event
can depend in any manner upon any other event which is
posterior
