*15
The punishment that a man suffers When a man is punished by being made to
do what he has a mind not to do his punishment
may be called active punishment:[a] when by being
made to suffer what has a mind not to suffer,
passive: by being restrained for either from doing
what he has a mind to do or from enjoying
what he has a mind to enjoy, restrictive.[b]
When this restraint or incapacity
is produced by a
change wrought in the condition
of his body, it may
be still referred to the
head of passive, and consequently
be brought under
that of corporal punishment

is either active, passive. or restrictive.

sort of restraint can scarcely be inflicted without
the other.
