Houses in the same condition out of the Rules. Besides
this advanced Rent the prisoner pays for the indulgence

In point of Certainty they have none of them any
thing to distinguish them from other punishments.

In point of Equability they are all of them

This inequability may
be illustrated by the
History of the Young
Venetian noble relegated
to the Isle of Candia.
Despairing of being allowed
again to revisit the walls
of his native City and of
again embracing his friends
& his aged Father he committed
another crime unpardonable
by the laws of the State

another province of a one's own state is upon an
average not likely to be so great as between one's
own province and another a foreign state. In Nations
however that have Colonies it will generally
happen that there are Provinces more dissimilar
to one another upon the whole in those respects than some of those
Provinces may be to other Provinces of neighbouring
nations. An Englishman could not find near so great How gr small a change for instance would
