This is not at all. There remains a question, and
that in the order of reason a previous one. Suppose

What are the mischiefs which it can be in the nature
of it to prevent. Mischiefs by which the themselves
may be the sufferers, certainly: plague, pestilence
and famine— all these may by proper suitable inspection
may all these certainly be stayed. So for oppression: if the

those mischiefs — the mischiefs that fall exclusively upon
the convicts themselves from receiving relief from

as there are in themselves are in comparison but
minor evils. The major ones are those which have
the whole community for their field: mischief from the
enormities that can not but be to be expected — since they
are in constant experience continually suffered from the enormities committed
by the still worse corrupted instead of reformed
