Of the Punishments belonging to the Moral Sanction.
4
They consist of
1. The casual evils:
2. The characteristic
evil.
From p. 4. par. 2.
But though the punishments belonging to the moral
Sanctions admit not of any varieties that are separable from
one another, there are two distinct parcels as it were into which
the evils produced by any lot of punishment issuing from
this source, on the occasion of any offence, may be divided.
One (which as being the basis of the other may be mentioned
first though the last in point of time) consists of the
several contingent evils that may happen to the offender an obnoxious person
in consequence of the ill will he has incurred; the other
consists of the immediate pain or anxiety the painful
sense of shame, which is grounded on the confused apprehension
of the unliquidated assemblage of evils above-mentioned.
It is this last which is referable in a peculiar
manner to the moral sanction and which cannot be produced
by the political, any otherwise than as far as those
who have the management of that sanction can gain an
influence over the moral: it may therefore for distinction
sake be stiled the characteristic evil of the moral sanction.
