C

Of the Punishments belonging to the Moral Sanction.

we indeed to enguin into the distribution between the nature of the political &
the moral of those two sanctions it would come out that, of the evils which when
considered as from the moral sanction I have stiled casual evils some more
likely to be brought upon a man by the action of one of these sanctions
and some others by that of the other. But as to the species
of evil this is all the distinction we shall be able to make
out; for there is not any evil which the exertion of one of these
Forces may bring upon a man but whatwhich may also be brought
upon him by the action of the other. The most studied and artificial
torments, for instance, that can be invented by a
political magistrate, and the most unlikely for a man to be
madeexposed to suffer by the unassisted powers of nature, or even
byfrom the unauthorized resentment of an individual, are
what he may by accident be exposed to from the latter souree.
It may be for want of some evidence that an individual
might furnish, and from ill will forbears to furnish, that
I may have been doomed to these torments by a Judge, or
if [you suppose] the like torments he supposed to be inflicted by the unauthorized
violence of an enemy, they may be attributed in the first
place indeed to the vengeance of that enemy, but in the second
place to the disesteem and ill will born me by some stranger,
who having it in his power to rescue me, yet exasperated against me
